    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..

    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.

    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.

    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!

    It was the size of an average through-lounge to start with. What the hell have they done ???

  • Shag
    Shag Posts: 4,555
    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 ?
  • AFKABartram
    AFKABartram Posts: 57,825
    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.
  • Tavern
    Tavern Posts: 7,678
    Yes they say within 15 mins Ketman

    Curb_It Posts: 21,220
    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.

    The stella and vodka pad you mean

    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.

    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.
