Mattsdigs 104 Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Not tried the beer but..a question about the real Castle Rock. My father told me that the Rock was used in the making of the movie " Guns Of Naverone". Anybody know if there is any truth in this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 YES! My local is The Swan In The Rushes(ten minuets walk) here in Loughborough. And I often visit The Lincolnshire Poacher & The Vat & Fiddle. Favourite pint Screech Owl. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AfferGorritt 868 Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 I used to use the Bread & Bitter at Mapperley top, but I'm going off it a bit. It's always very busy - nowt wrong with that, but the spartan furnishings and brick walls seem to bounce the noise off and make for a wall of loud babble. If I could get the same ale at a different venue I wouldn't think twice. The staff also seem to think that 'cos they serve at a "special" pub (and I guess it was when it first opened) they're a bit special too. One or two of them (not all) seem a bit precious, as though they're doing you a favour to serve you such good ale (and it is), and they don't seem to realise they are in a service industry. If you ring to order a table (and not just at Christmas) it's always seems to be "Well, we're very busy, I don't know whether we can fit you in. You'll just have to come up and take your chances". When you get there either it's empty, or some tables have reservation signs on them. What other restaurant do you know of that doesn't know how may tables it's got and how many of them are booked and expect you to come on the off chance of getting a table? Customer comes first? Not at the B&B, I'm afraid! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidA 153 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Yes, the Bread and Bitter is not what it was. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mercurydancer 1,104 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Definately a fan. When I am in Nottingham I get to the Plough in Radford when I can. That pub has the atmosphere of the old pubs I recall very fondly from the late 70s and early 80s. I adore the EPA. Pity I am usually in the car when I visit so I cant sample the beer as much as I would wish 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
