Where's your favourite pub or pubs you've been to

[Jane Smart]

Anytime. Would rather give a decent place the money. I'm known as Indian boy by a few of my mates as i'd eat them everyday so I know what's what. The last time we were in there they tried to palm my mates wife off with something it cleary wasn't.

She just kept lying saying it was just the way they did it in there. Hate liars. They were trying to palm her off with a chasni instead of a jalfrezi. Shocking. She was a cheeky cow as well. not been back since which is a shame as if she had just said sorry that is the wrong dish. We'll change it, we would have went back. But no she starting treating us like some halfwits. Shame as she had no idea at the time the amount we had spent. When she found out 6 of us had spent £400 on drink she soon backtracked. Too late dear!!!!!!

I absolutely love ( with a passion almost as much ~ nah not quite ~ as cycling) and would eat it every day too if I got the chance!

Shame about the service you got in there, I think I was last there just over a year ago, so maybe it has changed since then. Our son was at a gig at the garage, so we popped in there while we were waiting.

I have an indian friend who comes to our house and makes the most delicious indian food, not a bit like the restaurants.

Anjum Annand has good cookery books for any indian food lovers out there and they are low fat recipes.

Now I am hungry

I worked with an indian girl years ago. Absolutley gorgeous girl in personality and looks. Anyway the team we were in were all disbanding. promotions, people leaving, secondments to other deps. anyway, she couldn't come out for our night out as 1 she had never been in a pub, 2nd her husband was a bit of a bastard and 3rd she lived way outside Glasgow so she asked if she could make and bring in lunch for us instead as a thank you.

WOW!! sat in the boardroom with paper plates and plastic cutlery and it was to this day one of the best meals I've ever had

£400 on drink!!!!! How much is Buckys up there? Seriously though what were you drinking?

Favourite pubs, all for different reasons:

The Three Fyshes, Turvey (closed at the moment )
The White House, Littleborough
The Bridge, Topsham
The Turf Locks, Exeter
The Landor, Clapham
The King's Head, Islington
Gordon's Wine Bar, Charing Cross
U Sedmi Svabu AKA "Pub Lard" in Prague. Full of fake Medieval tat, huge roaring fire, and has lard on the menu.

Some champagne and some decent bottles of wine. Bit of a celebration that night and no one ever feels like going on the razz after a big indian so we just had too much while we were there.

Likely. Seeing as though i can spend £100 on booze for myself on a night out.

You're all making me jealous. Its shoot over here in norway for favourite boozers. Its one of the things i miss very, very much about Britain.

The New Beehive, Manningham Lane, Bradford. Wooden floors, coal fires in each room, no electricity and gas candelabra, hasn't been redecorated since about 1930, about 15 hand-pulled ales and full of SS dossers. Great for a few pints before a Bradford finger curry.

The Robin Hood Inn in Helmshore, Lancashire. A proper beer drinker's pub with no food, no fruit machines, four small rooms each with a coal fire, a pristine selection of Copper Dragon ales on hand pump and a barmaid I'd like to commit an atrocity with.

The White Bull on Burnley Road, Crawshawbooth - a Friday night delight; great hand-pulled ales and an Indian restaurant upstairs!

Oh, and Fitzpatrick's Temperance Bar in Rawtenstall. The last surviving temperance bar in Britain. No alcohol served there, only sarsaparilla on draft.

The Pipe & Glass - South Dalton. Local-ish and good to ride to for an afternoon beer.
The Wolds Inn Huggate - Bit of a climb but good food.
Sandberg Bar - Assen, Netherlands. Had a few good nights in here - imagine the place packed with (motor) bikers, and me hanging from a spiral staircase singing Oasis tunes, and they're all going for it with me.
Hotel de Jong - Assen. Nice chilled out Al Fesco drinking and BEAUTIFUL waitresses.
O'Reilly's Oberstdorf. Just simply the best.

Feck me - what happened to supporting your Local?

In Manchester you could get 10 pints of cool Joseph Holts bitter, fresh from the brewery that morning, for £17.90. At around 4.3% that would be enough to lay most people out flat.

 

[longers]

I think you can still get Sam Smiths bitter at the Oyster Bar for under two quid a pint.

 

[Stephenite]

The Shamrock in Rødelokka, Oslo is a favourite haunt, but about £7 for 400ml of guiness.
Parkteatret, Grunerlokka sells Old Speckled Hen (prob the only place in the country with English real ale on tap), again £7.

I return to the 'sceptred isle' each xmas. I'm looking forward to:

The Wishing Well, Heywood - real ale and live music.
The Trackside, Bury - on the platform of the steam train station, and real ale.

3 wks to go, and counting.

Stephenite, give me a shout by PM if you want to meet in Bury for a couple of pints and a yarn about cycling. I expect I'll be stir crazy after a few days at home with Granny, over-indulging on cake and cold turkey. I work in Bury and have had some enjoyable evenings at the ELR buffet.
