Pubs serving beers


Recommended Posts

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.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
