    has the HnG been refurbished?
  • TavernTavern
    Yes they have been working on it
  • leftbehindleftbehind
    cant wait to see it on the 11th
  • Curb_ItCurb_It
    Well i dont think the HandG has actually been refurbished, more like a lick of paint and as mentioned the other week there is a big back yard there with outhouse and everythign which they will open up and put a bar out there knocking out bottles of beer.

    Still be the anchor for me..
  • AFKABartramAFKABartram
    the management of the Oak must be stark raving mad. The only decent earner it has going for it, has all summer to refurb, then does it just before the season starts, missing 2-3 big pay days. Mad.
  • Curb_ItCurb_It
    Have you never worked with builders before? the work started at the end of the season. Its a massive job which has hit all sorts of problems. they are just being realistic.
    They are only missing Scunthorpe. Cant see being busy for Braga.
  • TavernTavern
    To be honest looking at the state of the refurb i would be amazed if it is ready by the 25th Aug more like mid-end Sept!
  • AFKABartramAFKABartram
    It was the size of an average through-lounge to start with. What the hell have they done ???
  • TavernTavern
    Making a square type bar!extending the far right side section out into the alley bit!also taking out the kitchen bit to make more space for the bar!i saw the drawings a couple of weeks ago and does look good!and bigger bogs extending that part out as well
  • ShagShag

  • Curb_ItCurb_It
    they have knocked the wall down and extending into the garage which was next to the darts board.. i thought they were putting a bar also down along that side as well as the middle one.
  • ShagShag

  • Curb_ItCurb_It
    havent you some ironing to do or something.

    can you bexley boys give him a decent cab firm number for the village?
  • ShagShag
    The only one in the village is sherberts - depends what time you want a cab for .

    If its closing time sherberts are shite , try broadway express up bexleyheath 0208 304 1999

    With all this Bar Extension thing being done will this reduce the queueing time for a drink to less than 30 minutes ?
  • AFKABartramAFKABartram
    echo broadway express, if done say an hour in advance. they're not great it you ring at 11pm and want one for 11.20pm.
  • TavernTavern
    Yes they say within 15 mins Ketman
  • Curb_ItCurb_It
    one would hope so ketman - be pointless otherwise.

    and have you really queued that long? you only go in afterwards, its beforehand thats a nightmare... thats why bar brenda is open before the game.
  • TavernTavern
    The stella and vodka pad you mean
  • AFKABartramAFKABartram
    it will probably make it worse, because it will mean that more people will be able to squeeze to the bar. Its the amount of staff and their ability that needs improving. Only when it changed you realised just how efficient the old team were.
  • KetmanKetman
    Sorry I was exaggerating of course but have waited 15-20 mins after a game before, not their fault, they work bloody hard behind that bar. Looks like it will be Bugle both before & after game for next few weeks then.
  • TavernTavern
    Anchor is good mate
  • Curb_ItCurb_It
    yes he paid top coin (in terms of bar work) and it showed.
