    Such unjust Spoons snobbery. Literally saving boozers from closing and making it a cheap alternative to the outrageous prices set elsewhere. Great place to start the evening off imo.
    Yeah if you want to a pint and a show of a single mother with 8 kids jousting a rottweiler.

    Found myself in Yeovil over the weekend. Went into the 'Spoons for 3 of the evenings (closest to hotel and no other pubs in close walking distance of town centre).. Normally have nothing to do with them as think Tim Martin is a c*nt and I struggle to find anything I would drink in there. Anyway, this one had Brewdog (another vile company) Elvis Juice at £4.50 for a 660ml bottle, so my values went out the window and I decided that it was all OK after all... Won't be drinking in the Greenwich one though, as just too full of 'characters' (and now students) for me...

    Which pub/bar is this @Broadstairs_Red ?

    Amazing how touchy Spoons fans get when people air that they simply do not like the pub(s). It's not a thinly veiled dig at those drinking there!

    And funnily enough long standing legal restrictions meant The Daylight Inn in Petts Wood was the only pub within a mile until The Sovereign of The Seas was opened.  

    I absolutely love Petts Wood, regularly walk there from the New Eltham end of Chislehurst in the nice weather (get to see a lot of high speed trains, lovely). Some of the best restaurants around (Troy and Indian Essence both get special mentions).
    I've lived in Petts Wood 9 years this year and I can count the times I've been in the Sovereign on one hand.  Tbh, think I've drank in Vault & Vine more times than the Sovereign too.
    No reason for it other than me and the guys who drink together lives on the East side so the Daylight tends to be pub of choice.
    A pint Neck Oil in the Daylight last week was £6:05.  Pint of Guinness 4.90.

    Other local options, tend to go down to The Chequers at Bickley as thats my brother-in-laws local or the Cricketers, between Petts Wood and Orpington.  Nice quiet pub that, never overly busy, they do Beavertown Neck Oil and Guinness on tap so its fine for me.

    (Should say, I dont really think about the prices too much as if I'm honest, its rare I go out for a beer these days.  Maybe once every 2-3 months if I'm lucky!)


    The Bricklayers Arms is a great boozer, but I think has changed hands and is a tad quiet.

    My gripe with a spoons is that the service tends to be slow and the bar staff can be pig ignorant.
    So where's the Bricklayers?  I need to investigate :)

    Masons Hill, the main road out of Bromley heading towards Bromley Common.
    Personally, I wouldn't bother investigating.

    Only been in one Spoons, up in St Anne’s, it was ok but that’s all. Food was a bit meh. Wouldn’t go to one especially and only went there because there was no other alternative and was with a group of friends. Steer clear anyway because of their no dogs policy, if you can’t accept my dogs then up yours, your loss, plenty of other decent pubs for a meal and a drink.

    Well I've possibly only been in 101 Spoons, but I've never counted.
    (Well closer to 101 than 1 anyway).

    freind moved to greenhithe recently so went to see him on saturday and ventured to the wharf, nice outside area lovely surroundings. 

    guiness and a moretti £12.50 the service was also shocking, wish pubs would decide on being a restaurant or a boozer

    My son being a student loves the 'spoons'. The problem for us is it is totally dog unfriendly, even not allowing them in the garden.

    Agree, very strange mindset. A bit like people who feel the need to defend McDonald's. Both are crap but in a pinch they serve a purpose, anyone choosing to go to these sorts of places likely has issues.

    Agree it's not a dig but "anyone choosing to go to these sorts of place likely has issues".
    Ok, I'll bite, what issues am I likely to have according to you?

    I think referencing seeing a "show of a single mother with 8 kids jousting a rottweiler." is a dig at those drinking there!

    Yes but if you read my previous posts you and had the intelligence of someone who drank in non-chain pubs, you would summise my comments are firmly tongue in cheek

    Tbf that is a fairly accurate description of spoons clientele.

    Not quite the same though. 
    Two outlets selling an identical brand for half the price.

    That price list must be from the 1990s - surely nowhere still sells Hooch these days?
