Wending our way down towards EDT last night to meet some of the forum regulars we passed G&B on the way and decided to stop for one in the new bar...

I had been to the old bar a number of times but always a gamble that you might be the only people there, however last night we could see plenty of people already there and it looked like a great atmosphere


Long story short, we never got to EDT. Stayed in G&B all night and had a terrific time. Great atmosphere, plenty of staff to cope with a fairly busy night and all in good form. And the Pieminster pies went down a treat as well.


But I still wish I got to meet forumites - ah well, always Wednesday next week

Seconded. I went to G&B on Friday night and it was great. Very good wines on offer, you can actually buy them from the shop and take them through and drink them in the bar. Also you can BYOF (Bring your own food) and pay ?3 "chippage" for plates and cutlery etc while you drink their wine. Good thinking 99!


5 Stars from me - a drastic improvement. See you Wednesday for those going.

I also went on Saturday evening, we very later afternoon, and again the set-up is much better, simple bar layout.....I asked for a recommendation and explained my favs, and i got to taste a bit before ordering my glass, then enjoyed it so much bought a bottle as well (which was added to my bar tab and wrapped and bagged, chilled) and wondered off home to enjoy it. Always liked G&B, but now the deli is appearing too and the space is much bigger....big plus....in the summer when they open the boors in the bar, it will become even more appealing.

We went on Friday night and agree with all the above... the changes to layout have been a great success.


If you have even a minor interest in wine, you will appeciate how lucky we are to have this place so close to home. To be able to browse the shelves then take a bottle to the bar to drink is fantastic. The staff are very knowledgable and accomodating... I saw some people raising an eyebrow that there was no beer available on tap, but isn't that kind of like going to a Chinese and ordering chicken & chips?

Yes I know that, and maybe the people that enjoy wine, but who's partners don't, would go in there and spend their money, if their partners were catered for...


If they do bottled beer though, that would seem to solve the problem.


I've not been there, so I'm not judging, just making a point. I personally enjoy both beer and wine, depending on the occasion, but wine for me is more a thing to open at home with a nice meal, or just nice company, wine bar is not really my thing, but all power to them, and I'm glad to hear they're doing well, and pleasing the punters.

Could someone do me a favour tomorrow at the wine tasting please? 'Tis the boyf's birthday on Saturday and I'm running out of ideas for pressies. If you taste something delectable (must be red), on the heavy, rich, fruity blah de blah side and costing around ?20-25 that is particularly yum, please could you make a note of the name and then post it? Thanks in advance and have a good time!

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
