    Just back from first proper family meal for over a year at The Fighting Cocks in Horton Kirby 

    first time in pub since re-opened. 

    Felt just like old times, no strangeness at all.

    Yesterday had my first indoor pub visit since the easing of lockdown. All very civilised and efficient

    I've been inside a couple of pubs, a restaurant and the cinema twice.
    All seems normal apart from wearing a mask when moving about.

    Our turn tonight, meal out at a Miller and Carter,  70th birthday for a good friend who I've converted into a Charlton season ticket holder for the last 10years,  Let's hope we're all back at the valley asap thumping that massive club on route to a great season.

    I went to Sovereign of the Seas followed by a steak in Aqua.
    Medium steak was so burnt it was unreal.
    After 15 months I couldn't be bothered to complain.

    So our pubs/restaurants will be allowed to open for outside dining/drinking on 7th June.

    Well that’s handy as all the hotels/B&Bs/self catering are opening on 2nd June.

    Which means we won’t have a cat in hells chance of getting anywhere near one as West Cork will be full of staycationers (that’s folk from Cork City & Dublin).

    Ah well 😣

    Do you have to book for the Soverign or is it a free-for-all?

    You was unlucky with Aqua then.  We went for my wife's birthday at the beginning of May and the food was really good.  It has improved no end from when they first opened.

    A lot of pubs, during the quiet periods of the week, may not be open or might not open the kitchen, so it's worth checking this out before finalising arrangements. The same pubs will then be fully booked at the weekend  :D

    There's no booking for Weatherspoons.
    We went Monday (on purpose) and got a table at 7pm, there were a few vacant (on a Monday).

    Me and mates did some research last week for possible pubs for Euro games. Pubs are filling up fast in Greenwich with some having no seats left for the 3 England group games. 

    Had to laugh at Belushi’s who are charging £30 per person for England games. I think you get 2 drink tokens with that too.

    Lots of pubs are charging for tables. I’ve paid £20pp for a local pub for the Scotland game (couple of jugs for tables and snacks)

    Did you find anywhere you don’t have to pay for?

    I looked around a few weeks ago and couldn’t believe the amount of places booked up already. I was looking at the big, obvious places and didn’t look in Greenwich but still.

    Yup, The Mitre and Richard The First weren’t charging for tables.

    Out tonight with my boys and some of my mates - booth in the pub booked for food and DRINK. My first pint of draft black nectar since March last year will be sliding down my neck (at pace) in about an hour's time.

    It's been a long time!

    Cyprianis is head and shoulders beter than Aqua in my opinion. Also, at lunchtime, you can just walk into the Daylight Robbery without booking.

    So, what are the rules indoors in a pub? 

    Masks? Not anything you’d do, except me. 
    Table service? Not really.

    Would I go again, no.

    I always support the true supporters.

    I remained remarkably sober but that first pint of Guinness was very special!

    In Skehans, over in Nunhead.  All very sensible, able to go to the bar, get your pint and find a table. You have to sanitise and wear a mask wondering around but a big improvement to elsewhere.
    My Charlton face covering disturbed the locals though!

    I saw you was in Hither Green the other day.
    Are you doing a tour of the non league pubs now?

    No mate, not on this occasion. Been here before.
    However, I'm off to Rochester v Sheppey tomorrow so will tick off a couple of new boozers there.

    Would you recommend this place? The Mrs has been on at me to visit it. We are both Irish if that makes any difference re the authenticity of the place
