I can confirm that big Dave has left supervising the doors there and is expected to join Biceps Barry at The duchess pub in Dover. Here is a little post opening night interview: “I thought the bar staff gave everything tonight and that’s what I ask for, I don’t think we left any (Jagermiester) out there today. It’s just the fine margins and individual errors letting us down. I thought DJ Alan had a great evening and looked solid and kept us dancing for the evening but accidentally playing Old Shep really cost us but we will work on things during Karaoke Thursdays to put things right. There might be a few new faces this week as I hire some temps I worked with in The Muggleton but I only want strong characters.” That's so good mate, worth more than a simple ' like ' - just top banana, well done

I was in the 4 degrees last night and what a difference a year makes. 12 months ago it was touch and go as to whether it would carry on as even on a Fir/Sat evening there would only be half a dozen people but last night it was heaving and with some excellent drinks on the menu. If you haven't tried the place yet then please do so you might just like it.

Just to think, 20 odd years ago, a bag of crisps, a packet of pork scratchings and if you were really lucky, a pickled egg were most pubs offering in the way of gourmet delights!

Yes and you would probably get change from a £1 for all 3.

Bumped into the landlady of the Rifle Volunteer in Sainsbury's today (as you do). Only took over early this year - I wasn't aware it had changed hands.
She was buying gin - cheaper in Sainsbury's than from the pub's suppliers!

I prefer not to bump into Landlady's since the advent of the #MeToo Movement.

So that’s why she is using a crutch
