It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.

Stokey - would love to be there. Tell me though - is it compulsory to wipe your hands on a towel for 30 seconds before picking up the plates each time ?

i do, just not sure if i thank you for sharing that fact or if i hate you because of making me envy you
where is it, olgit? i'm coming back to the UK next march, and this time i'll spend a month traveling on your beautiful isles so i'll make sure to stop there for a few pints as well

B.G. next time,you have to go to a place in Sussex,(Olgitgooner will know it),called Lewes.There is a Brewery there called Harveys,where they do "tours" and you will be able to drink lots of their ale for free!!!

top suggestion, mate, cheers!!!
it's a bit early yet, but in a while i'll surely make a thread in the basement asking people for tips on interesting places to visit.
i'm thinking of this crazy idea: as a half decent amateur photographer crazy about the pubs you have over there i'd like to meet as many pubs as i can in those 30 days (something like 100 would be cool ) and take a pic in each of them, have a pint and then make a nice album with all of them, including some words about each.

Sad news mate. The brewery in Abingdon, Oxfordshire closed eleven years ago.
Speckled Hen is now brewed at Bury St Edmonds in Suffolk.
They probably still do brewery tours. But it's a long way from London.

They are outside caterers who only deal in Barbeques. You must of heard of them,they're always in the news...
Sam and Ella's Home BBQ's. But they do wrap everything in a Oatcake before cooking!

no problem with it being far from london. i intend to go from ben nevis to cornwall this time around, so no problems in stoping along the way to drink my favourite ale and meet the brewery.
edit: (just looked for suffolk on the map, and it really is a bit too far east. is there something else worth visiting in the area?)

i am a HUGE fan of fullers, quartz. their IPA is one of my favourite ales. i intend to stay one night on one of those "fullers inn" if i'm not mistaken there are quite a few in england, anyone ever been to one of those?
It'll be like having family around !!!
