Why? Did he bring you home a 'carry out'?

Why so? (genuinely
)Stig and I like it, and neither of us like poncy places. I suppose we're guilty of judging it more by it's excellent beer than other factors though -- it's Shepherds Neame and we've never had a bad pint there.
the teeny tiny Queens Larder on Queen Square (with a regular Mr Enormous always sat conveniently blocking the middle of the narrow squeeze past the jukebox and fag machine to the downstairs ladies
- and it takes some negotiating to get through the exterior and interior door once you do make it safely through.....and let's not even discuss what happens if there's another lady trying to get out as you're going in
), in between Russell Square and Holborn is my favourite.
Fucking lovely on a balmy evening too, when you can carry your pint over to the square itself and it's surprisingly quiet - a proper central London haven, but a bit more of a walk to Kings Cross (not much though).
I'm with you on the Queens Larder, it's a goodie and I'd have mentioned it, but I didn't think it was near enough.
My mate rates the Lamb in Lambs Conduit Street (he used to live in the next street), I quite like it but it gets too crowded and they only do Youngs -- acceptable, but not the best of choices in ale terms.

you're talking about the flying scotsman
can't understand why it was allowed to trade for so long. the barman would tell you not to leave your pint alone....it's actually been turned into a McDonald, and I regret to say it, but it's not often you can say that replacing a "drinking establishment" with a McDonald is progress
. hopefully, I'll never have to say it again.guinnessdrinker said:you're talking about the flying scotsman

Are you talking about the Flying Scotsman in Caledonian Road? If so you are wrong- or its the oddest McDonalds in the world.

Maybe I am wrong, but the last time I was in the area (6 months ago), I swear that where I thought the flying scotsman was, there was a Mc Donald. could be wrong, of course.
