Its funny how many people say they like the CPT, however do not go back there very often. Lets hope it picks up in summer with the seating area outside and the bbq.

I used to go there when I first moved to ED but now there is more choice on LL it does not really enter my radar.

Was in there Friday night, not busy, except for our group. Was in there for the footy yesterday, rather busy, lots of really bloody annoying rugby playing lads, who felt the whole world needed to know that they played rugby!


I hate rugger buggers, I used to play loads, but never felt the need to go around pubs talking in a really loud over confident voice, and making out that I was a huge drinker, when actually I couldn't hold more than 3 pints!!!!!


For the record, I can hold a shed load of beer, but I wasn't one of these people :)-D

Is that you Dave? I thought Dan was alright and got a fair bit of unwarranted stick, but I seem to be in the minority. I also know lots of people who'd have paid to have seen that headbutt, and whilst wrong, I do think that having a beer thrown over me by a mouthy prick may have made me want to do the same. Anyway, just so we're clear on here, the CPT is NOT a rough pub.

Almost everything that could potentially be done with the CPT is explored on another thread...


Someone needs to buy the lease off that joyless woman, stick Keef in charge, the Inside 72 jukebox in and an Aussie bird with big tits behind the bar. And everyone will be happy again.


Until that happens I'm sorry but it will remain a faded backwater pub that about 4 people drink in with silly wall paper out front and a velvet morgue in the back.

We were in there at the weekend and it was absolutely rammed, it was lovely to see it so full :)


Glad other people are discovering its charms :)

The seats in the back needed refurbed/replaced at least 5 years ago. I'm not sure if they have because I no longer go in that part - but I'd say the pub is really well positioned and could have a big catchment if it got its act together and did a proper refurb.

It only seems to be busy on sports events.

He had a load of people back one night, got totally sh!t faced, and didn't get up to open the pub the next day. Trisha came in to find Barbara on her own, and went upstairs to find him in bed with a hangover.

But the lack of a "proper refurb" is why it's such a great place.


Though OK, they could do something with their planting out the front, and also the Ladies :)) And if they brought back the Adnams Broadside instead of the bitter, that would definitely make me go there more.


But I like both the bars as they are. I noticed at the weekend that they had done something to the ceiling in the "old" bit, but it still has that unreconstructed feel :)


Edited to say: If Dan was the guy who kindly gave me his Little Miss Sunshine tee shirt, respect :)

    • 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
