Ashley 288 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Re reusing ice, despite a couple on here doubting such I assure you it "did" happen, did as in the 1990's, maybe not at the all singing all dancing busy places with likes of a north sea trawler's ice making machine installed but at the quieter pubs when the old 12-2.30 6-11 hours were in force when part melted cubes in the on the bar ice buckets would be put in chiller etc to refreeze, was never in the pubs (working) at 11.30pm, but assure you I've seen it done more than once at 3pm, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Errrrm lace market Skin (empty @ 10pm on a Saturday night ) & Bluu bar the only 2 bars now left open on the once buzzing Broadway. I was in Bluu a week last Saturday night at the 'busiest' time, Red. It wasn't that busy at all relatively. Nor were the streets around the Lace Market generally. It seems to me like the area is on the wane in popularity with just a few isolated businesses that do well. Not that It'll worry me. :-) I have to say though that I do like Keanes Head and The Cock and Hoop. Both nice little pubs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I was also in Bluu the Saturday before, if you were in the same time as me I doubt you would have missed the lady in the opened backed black velvet cat suit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

.... 23 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Did anybody here ever visit Kelly's Tavern (formerly know as The Swan and Salmon) In Newark before it's sad decline and eventual closing down? The last time I walked past it nearby the lock the empty building was beginning to look quite dilapidated and down-at-heel. The pub used to stock Okells ales from Douglas, Isle of Man which was something of an acquired taste. I could never quite understand why the pub wasn't more successful with it's enviable situation by the River Trent. Quite convenient for a mini pub crawl up to The Barge floating pub just up the towpath too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Went through Newark a couple of weeks back , and I was glad to see the Castle Barge was still up and running (I used to frequent that place cirrca 1982) As for the Old Rose, I used to booze in there of a lunch time when I worked at the Raleigh, (I had my 18th in there, I'd only been going in a year and a half by then ................LOL) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Frank 13 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 The Hall Park Tavern is now reduced to rubble....... progress eh?? It was my 'local' for over 14 years. Won all my dart and later on, pool trophy's there. Played as a partner to Tony Matthews RIP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 I'm a little miffed to learn that Old Speckled Hen (OSH) is a Greene King product! It isn't one of my favorites, but it is popular with the "MG" crowd. What is the world coming to? Which reminds me - we are taking a trip out to the Michigan Brewing Company this weekend to fill up two 5-gallon kegs of their brews! Den would NOT be disappointed in their offerings!

katyjay 5,091 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Frank, did you know a Alan Birch who was a regular in the Hall Park Tavern? His daughter Sherrell worked behind the bar for a short time, a few years ago. It was Alan's local for years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frank 13 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 More than likely Katy, but the old grey matter isn't working at the mo. I'll have a word with a mate of mine to see if he recognises the name. I knew a couple of Alan's but the only Sherrell I recall was the landlord's (Arthur) daughter.

denshaw 2,871 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 The Windsor Castle at Carlton is to be demolished to make way for a Tesco extension. This is a successful pub that was built in the seventies, owned by GK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
