You lot doing quiz tonight then?

I've got lots of things to do but could wander down for last orders as it goes.

Got a big day at work tomorrow so was only going to pop in after work for one or two - and even now that hangs heavy over my head

[Fear 'n boozin]

I was thinking next Thursday (if anybody fancys waiting).

Yeah, I'd be up for it another day, but I feel rough as f..k today, so won't be leaving the flat again now I'm home!

[mockney piers]

re: mothers and toddlers. sounds like a grand idea but to be honest, what time do you open in the mornings?

i think the bishop have it right unlike EDT. edt picked an afternoon at a time when many kids are asleep. the bishop just keep a whole chunk of the pub non smoking during the day and the staff are great with the kids during the day.

all you need to do is stock some organix snacks, make good coffee and let it be known that there is a lovely non smoking section that kids can run about in. a bit of cake for the mums wouldn't go amiss either ... i have 2 kids just a few doors down from you and my sister is about to have one so we would definitely be in there of a morning.

one thing though, i've not checked out your wheel chair/ push chair access, i'm only familiar with the entrance on ivanhoe road. how easy is it to get in? i should really just pop in and ask you!

Bumping this relatively thread-ancien on the grounds of the sterling work they did in hosting us forumites last night (with free food and everything) - and a reminder to people to get down their more often. Having a local backstreet bar is a wonderous thing

Great nite, lovely pub but something should be done with the carpet (a big skip).
