The Wheatsheaf in Oxted

Traditional-looking pub located half-way between the old and new parts of town. However the interior is in the process of being refurbished, with fresh paintwork and some new furniture, and the friendly landlord was keen to advise that the carpet would soon be replaced too. In these uncertain times, only one of the three handpumps was in use, but my pint of Tonbridge IPA (£3.70) was in particularly good shape.

The Lampost Bar in Glasgow

I have put my photo of Bonjour nightclub, which used to be the Lamppost Bar a while ago, back on to see if it will be accepted now.

Brew York in Leeds

Dough, as was, is now Brew York's first Leeds venue, though God knows when it will be allowed to open. Will undoubtedly be a bonus to the circuit in this part of the city.

The Duke's Head in SW15

Not been to this CAMRA Nationally Important pub for a good 32 years so memories are hazy but very fond, if they haven't ripped the guts out of the place. A great venue to watch the river go by from a grand drawing room as I recall.

Vaults currently closed. It has been sold but future as a pub unknown.

The Little Bull in Tonbridge

Previously a substantial brick-built village pub called The Bull which looks slightly out-of-place with the surrounding cottages which mostly feature traditional Kentish weatherboarding. However, whilst the former bar and dining areas to both sides and the rear have now been converted to residential use, the smaller building attached to the right-hand side is now a compact café / bar appropriately named as The Little Bull (and currently only offering takeaway coffees, pastries and a limited menu due to the coronavirus restrictions). No real ale on handpump, and just one keg fount on the bar-back, but the display of tap badges shows that they have had an interesting range of crafty offerings from around Kent and East Sussex, plus a number of bottled beers. Friendly welcome.

EIGHT new BRAPA pubs ticked in the month of November, and if we were to try and put a positive spin on that, we could note that it eclipses my total for March, April, May AND June combined (6). And yet November's second lockdown felt more painful than the first. ....

[h=5]November was a bit more productive than October, thank goodness, or this blog might have started to acquire cobwebs.[/h]It helped to have a bit of a project, only a small one, looking into some of those aspects of pub culture that puzzled or intrigued us. We started the month by trying ....

I don't know what it is - lockdown - getting on a bit, or just nostalgia, but I'm enjoying at least some of my time on Facebook - Dumbarton Memories in particular. I had held out against Facebook and its somewhat baffling layout for, well, forever, until earlier this year ....

November hasn’t been a GREAT month, he says with maximum understatement.

Amidst all the excitement surrounding news of lockdowns and tiers, Budweiser Brewing Group UK & Ireland (which seems to be the new name for the UK offshoot of AB InBev) slipped out the news that the strength of Stella Artois, Britain’s best-selling premium lager, had been reduced yet again, from ....

[QUOTE=Tris39;113071]Completely. In smart restaurants, some people want an aperitif before ordering and in smart pubs, food can take an hour to arrive and service will be even slower if everyone has to order food, so I would expect customers to want a drink before their grub arrives. Then they can make for the door and the next pub. ;) [/QUOTE] But don't count in doing that in the same place again. [QUOTE=Tris39;113071]Yup. All pubs need do is buy a sandwich toaster for a cheep cheese toastie to keep drinkers happy. The police have said they don't know how to police this. If they see a person without food, they'll look a bit foolish if the response is that they've eaten their substantial meal at lunchtime and have now settled in for an all-day bender.[/QUOTE] But see [url]https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55109932[/url] Most publicans know exactly what the legislation means* and would rather keep their licence than indulge piss-takers. It is often a question in the personal licence exam. *It's exactly the same rule as serving beer or cider to 16 or 17 year olds: they have to have a sit-down meal, not something you can eat standing up from a paper plate.
