keepitcovert 842 Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 My local is great no music, good conversation, dog and pickled egg friendly, coffin dodgers begging the odd rabbit, craft beers £3 a pint, loads of friendly pisstaking, lurcher lads use it. Clay shoot for a bottle of glen fiddich every 2 months. People make pubs not brewerys overpricing. Hope the traditional pub is always with us. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 25,165 Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Was talking to other half this morning an mentioned not seen traditional pub where they keep the pickled eggs to eat with the crisps,like when I was a kid in Dorset. She looked at me in a mixture of disgust and awe then started going on about Dorset being backward etc so when I questioned her London roots an the disgusting shellfish they eat (the sort green lurchers likes)lol Got me thinking does the nation wide collective on here know of the old fashioned style pubs. An the mad thing is I don't really like pickled eggs pmsl. Oh an me an her popped into a trendy drinking establishment in town last night a pint of craft ale an large house white wine was just over £9 ffs if you come this side of the river mate have a look at the three horse shoes in frampton on Severn, it's like walking in someone's house, most evenings the men play guitars and the women sing there is no jukebox or telly just a roaring fire and the landlady makes a pie that has gained nationwide fame it's only £8 but you will struggle to walk if you finish it and to cap it off they sell black rat on draught, I know of an even more spit and sawdust pub further along the Severn near Worcester called the camp house inn there are chickens and peacocks walking around in the bar 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 18,536 Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Think the spit and sawdust bars are gone really where if you stood in one place to long the soles of you shoes started to stick to the floor, or a ferret running around the bar cos somebody got bit and dropped it. Few proper pubs around but most you have to book, most are eating houses. Forest of Dean Redneck comment on carrot crunching accent made me laugh, and reminded me of when i was in a bar in Ireland near Cork and two old ladies keep asking me to say Ambrosia cream rice from the advert.

ollieollie 766 Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 My local(that's not local) is called the weighbridge, in a village called alvechurch. £3.20 a pint, no doom bar there, always 3 ales you've never had before, 6 in total. Some good cider. All very well kept by a professional landlord who knows how to treat ales. Baps, pork pies, scotch eggs, nuts and scratchings. Nice little pub on the canal. I must pass 10 pubs to get there but I wouldn't go anywhere else, still shuts in the afternoon which suits me, keeps me sensible 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollieollie 766 Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Oh and the local morris dancers often do a bit there which I really enjoy. Its almost like being in england 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
