Right ok stop yer clamouring ffs still jolly well have not finished me poster all your fault Binners. 🙄
So this week, at the suggestion of Bagpuss72 what was I think possibly a little merry on Saturday Evening in the pub with Binners and other lovely Northern ladies, it’s Food and Drink. Well, she said pubs but I thought I’d widen it out a bit cos no-one spends all their time in pubs do they? I mean, you might need to eat as well.
I’ll start with Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese pub in Fleet Street, because it’s a lovely old pub, and there’s bin a boozer there since 1538, although this building originated in 1667. The favoured watering hole of Charles Dickens, Dr Samuel Johnson and sometimes even Elfinsafety himself. Several STWers have bin here with me and it’s a fantastic old building, full of nooks and crannies. Just reeks of history. I bloody love it.
An akcheral working fireplace, and yes, that is sawdust pont floor… 😀
Maybe a touch lowbrow for you architecture types, but the design of this restaurant has been immortalised in the logo of one of the world’s biggest brands. (D’oh I said the b word!)
I like The Old Stag in Llangernyw. Not particularly amazing architecture wise but it is a nice old 17th century farmhouse. Pop in on a roadride in winter and cosy up by the fire with a pint :)Love all the junk hanging off every wall and ceiling and the crazy carpet.
also in the nearby churchyard is an ancient 4500 -5000 year old yew tree, supposedly one of the three oldest living things on the planet.
Wasn’t there a thread on here about some chap innocently asking about taking his girlfriend up the Oxo Tower for her birthday? There’s a restaurant, brasserie and bar there.
I know I’m late, but I was off enjoying myself yesterday..
Funny enough right here… My local, The Flower Pots, Cheriton a Micro Brewery of destinction.
Robs right I guess, but all pubs look great after a pint yeah??
Alrighty I’ll play nicely, The Gellert, Budapest (in Pest actually) it has some of the most sensational Spring Baths below it, full on Hungarian horsepitality.. Don’t look bad from the outside neithers.
