When and where are you guys meeting? I can do this Wed (tomorrow) or next Wed 14th after work. I work nr Cannon Street stn/Bank stn, so can do either London Bridge or Victoria.

I'll recognise Monkeyboy, but a marker would be great too.

14th is ON. We'll work on final pub choice over the next couple of days.

 

[hemdale]

Ok guys, you can finally count me in ! Yay !

 

[Swallow]

I am going to try and get to Victoria after work to recce some pubs. In the meantime take the venue as the Wetherspoons below, so if I get hit by a bus you still have somewhere to meet.

Try and have a look at the crack and glass if you get chance

 

[nunzionuk]

http://www.chimes-of-pimlico.co.uk/ <-- that is a nice place, walkable from Victoria.

I did it's the best of the ones I visited though it is as small as it looks in the picture and it's about 6-8 ft from the bar to the front of the building. If we run with it we have the option of decamping to The Phoenix which is 50 yards away if it gets too cramped.

We are not going to the Wetherspoons/Willow Walk. Two reviews I saw talked of fights and walking by those assertions seemed somehow very credible

Damn. I didn't check this before going and I was about 50 yards away. The website shows it as a restaurant and talks about booking. Sounds like an interesting option have you been there?

 

[nunzionuk]

Yeah, been there a few times, they do mead always nice. Might be worth booking a table.

I personally quite like this idea, but I am concerned as to how it fits with original invitation especially as this one came together very quickly with a short time to doing it. Last time no-one ate at the pub (I probably should have)and some are on a tighter budget.

So I don't think it is fair to switch to this kind of setup (I'm assuming as it's a restaurant where you have to eat rather than quoff ale). At this short notice. At least not without buy in from everyone. Also based on Previous posts the earliest Monkey Boy is likely to get there is 8pm.

At this point it would be useful if Nunzionuk could provide more info on the setup and everyone else stated a preference for Cask and Glass V this place.

The George covered all these bases well.

 

[nunzionuk]

Erm.. what info do you want?

 

[Swallow]

Sorry it's been a long few weeks I could have been clearer about that. Is this just a straight restaurant where you need to book at table and eat but you can carry n drinking 'til closing. Or is it a kind of bar/restaurant where you don't have to eat but can just drink. We are likely to have people turning up at different times and possibly wanting different things. Sorry didn't intend to make it a hassle.

 

[nunzionuk]

I've never eaten there. Just drank.

Last question then, Ales seem to be popular among quite a few people who have responded, what have they got in that line.

 

[nunzionuk]

Best off calling them tbh. Always had different things in each time I was there.

Hi All

with monkey boy out our reason for Victoria is also out. Looking at everyone else's posts there's a recurring theme of Waterloo/London Bridge/Bank apart from Mesquite and Google gives his travel time to BOTH Victoria and London Bridge as 49min.

Does anyone have any objections to meeting at the George near London Bridge again? This will also give more time to scope out good locations for people coming from Southerly or Western directions?

George Details below.
