I think the caf? on the corner of the gardens was serving some sort of beer/booze last weekend - caf? G I know that the Great Exhibition is doing a 'pint thru' though that is not very near the park! The Herne isn't open which is at the top of the park...

Tesco don't sell draught and keg beer, or at least they hadn't changed into a pub last time I was in there :))

Not true pubs, bars and off licences have always been allowed to sell alcohol to takeaway. What is not allowed until July 4 is drinking it on the premises.


Now i'll grant you in recent days I think some places have been pushing that a bit by allowing customers to congregate outside.

You must REALLY notice the difference between bottled/canned vs draft beer, if you're inclined to pay 2-3 times the price!

Well yes, there is a massive difference!

The Pub is a Very British thing.. well it was...


Pubs are closing down at a rate of one every 12 hours, new figures show.


The Campaign for Real Ale say that 378 pubs shut down permanently between July and December last year in England, Scotland and Wales, representing more than 14 closures a week.

24 Feb 2019


Covid 19 really is the final nail in the coffin.


Most people I have spoken to say they would not be happy to go to the Pub if they open on the 4th July.

It is not going to be the same 'Social' night out we were once used to.


People have got used to Supermarket prices of Beer, Wine and Spirits.


Based on 3 pints per day at ?4.40 per pint. after 104 days of lock down I have potentially saved ?1372.80

That does not account for the occasional Shot at ?4.00 + a time.


I think it is very likely Pub Prices Could rise significantly. Food sales are likely to decline.


Eating out in our favourite local Restaurants will be a Very different experience.

Having to book in advance and not be able to make a snap decision when a few mates happen to fancy a Ruby..


It's grim..


Foxy :(

Yes - Saving a few hundred a month - but jobs much less secure if you work so no big splurge in spending by those benefiting (although I see many have invested in things that keep exercise/leisure/work going at home)

Perhaps Weatherspoon Pubs will continue as usual to cater for the local sole drinker.

I understand if there's a limited number of tables then pubs will want to fill them with family/'bubble' groups.


I do tend to be a solo visitor to pubs though - maybe I'll have to be a guest of Tim Martin :)

Cask ale is very different, I'd agree. Guiness/stout from a nitro tap is very different, too.


Lager and craft keg beer - not so much. In fact I'd say canned craft beer can be better. Probably fresher, and definitely more consistent.


Support the pubs, though. That would be a fine reason to get a takeaway beer.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
