I suppose it is a fair price for an imported Cornish beer - but I was expecting (hoping for) more local beers (like the Crystal Palace Bitter the Draft House had a couple of weeks back for ?2.75 a pint).

Well maybe they do - online for free. Why buy the paper? The Guardian's continuing losses in the tens of millions a year are only sustained by the cash cow of the GMG's "Auto Trader" sell-off. Liberal eco-awareness being subsidised by the petroleum economy. Nice irony there.

Mind crushingly dull debates on the merits of The Guardians funding model, stance and reason for being can be had on other threads. I'm wanting live chickens, warm bread and a pea garden. Roof grown rosemary and crane lifted cow.


And at least one pint of Bishops sock under ?4 to keep the old guard happy.

I understand they are tied to one brewery. Therefore they can't sell other

ales , only what that brewer has, and they have to pay that brewer's prices.


I think that's right but I

stand to be corrected.


Don't know if that applies to bottled ales as well.


The Mag always had Doombar, or sometimes Landlord, and sold it at a similar price.


It was always going to be an issue for The Patch, as discussed on here ad nauseam months ago

, at the time they were trying to raise community funding.


I agree it's a great pity for a self styled community pub not to sell local ales, if that is actually the case.


The Ivy House does.


Sorry for odd formatting am on my phone.

Very disappointing beer selection... After the selections at flying pig and ivy house, it's very much a step back


If sue is correct and they are brewery tied there isn't much they can do about it. They are probably as annoyed as the customers


That said, I did pay 3 pound something for a pint of lager which is cheaper than most places around here

The more I hear of The Patch, the less interested I am in going. It seems to have taken the less appealing, up-its-own-bum with pretention aspects of ED and gone a step further.


Which seems sad for a new place.


Hope I'm wrong - but the prices, the menu, the abysmal student style graffiti-art

Yes, I too am confused by all of that.


Discussed ad nauseam on a long-ago thread.


I don't understand how they can make any of those claims, but hope to be enlightened in due course.

      Foxes, and how to get rid

      By genwilliams · Posted

      And we humans bear a lot of responsibility for creating the conditions that brought foxes into urban settings. I certainly don't regard them as pests - they are noisy little criminals, but I'm very fond of them (we have huge numbers of them in my area - I rescued a lost baby fox earlier this year). However, there are pest control companies that use humane methods to deter them and redirect them to different territories (a friend of mine works for one, but sadly for OP, I don't think this is in their catchment area).

      Please don't call them "pests". They are animals who have as much right to be here as we do. Which doesn't mean we can't use humane ways to keep them off our crops, like fruit cages and netting.

      Foxes, and how to get rid

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      This thread started about how to deal with pests that cause a lot of damage and leave unpleasant offerings, but has morphed into concerns about welfare for the pests.  I think it's time that local authorities gave us help with foxes and squirrels:  it's especially difficult trying to grow fruit and veg when these animals cause so much destruction.

      Recommended tiler - PW Tiling - 07989 141232

      By ColinN · Posted

      Peter has been recommended many times on here and we can now also recommend him highly, having just had our wetroom walk-in shower done. Prompt response, came when he said, engaged with us helpfully when decisions had to be made, cleaned up well at the end and finished on time. He has been tiling 25 years, and is clearly expert. He also does e.g. victorian tiled pathways.
