Morrniinnnng!
When I got home yesterday the pub at the end of my road had been entirely demolished. It's been shut for a while but I wasn't sure what was happening with it. A digger had levelled the site in half a day.

Turns out it's going to become flats!!!! Always bloody flats.

What is your local like?

Alt: Brandy butter or custard on your pudding?
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Tue 13 Dec 2011, 8:12, 128 replies, latest was 14 years ago)

My local is not great
The beer is good, but the locals are not. This is (one of) the reasons I intend to move in the new year.

Alt: I'll have custard and a large brandy.

Large brandy, good call.
As I live in Lewisham all my local pubs are crap (save for one middle class pub stuck in the midst of all the big houses) but they are disappearing at an alarming rate.
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Tue 13 Dec 2011, 8:20, Reply)

My local is ace.
There are pubs technically closer but this has been my local since I was a student and it's a nice little friendly pub.
Plus, I work there. It's the job I'll miss the most (rather than my day job) when I move away.

In other news I DISTURBED BURGLARS LAST NIGHT AND COULD HAVE GOT BASHED UP. Not in my flat, the landlord's place. They were out so it was left to me to investigate. I didn't see the burglars but thank fuck I didn;t go down to the basement where they were.

But I swear to you in my 13 years in this area I've never had one drop of crime. And the landlord hasn't had owt since the 1980s. Now within weeks the garage got done and then the house. They are watching the house. Without a doubt. Happened as soon as landlord and lady left our house via the main door, so they know which flat has which occupants.

My brother is a rather excellent chef, and his turkey has never been dry
To make sure it doesn't dry out, he flips it upside down in the tray so that the juices can run back through the breast, and it's fantastic.

As I say above, I have one mince pie, and really enjoy it. After that one though, I have no interest.

Last year, my sister made a fantastic cookie and cream cheesecake for pudding on boxing day, but I was so full from the dinner I couldn't eat any, I was gutted.

Marzipan is vile
Christmas cake is hard to get right, the best solution is to ensure it is well soaked with alcohol, particularly the dried fruit. Serve it with a hunk of cheese and a large port and it is tolerable. No fucking marzipan though.

My local is a 15 minute walk away, I'm not as much of a fan of the closer ones.
It's a rocker pub, but absolutely anyone is welcome. A while back, I was playing pool against a friend of mine in there (who is rather tattooed and pierced, very 'alternative' looking), and she was beating me thoroughly. A chav comes in, sees us playing, and asks if we fancy a game.

At this point, she pots the black (again), and agrees to play him. I nip out back for a quick cig, come back and see my friend and a chav playing pool, whilst Pantera is on in the background, and the landlady's 3 year old granddaughter is running round like a mentalist, and I couldn't help but think "there's not another pub anywhere near here where this sort of shit happens. Magnificent."

Alt: Between those two, always custard. This is negligible, as I don't like christmas pudding anyway.

My local is excellent
Really good beers and food and within staggering distance of home. I had one of the finest pies I've ever eaten (and there has been a few) there, steak, Guiness and oysters. FUCKING NOMALICIOUS

Alt:
Custard, though I dont think I've ever had brandy butter

The bar at Newcastle train station is fucking amazing, I want to go there on a Friday/Saturday night when it's heaving, or to watch World Cup football.
Great Bloody Mary too.

It is a bit of a hidden gem that one
Glad we got the chance to have a couple of pints there

Likewise, we'll have to properly piss it up next time :D

My local is OK
And that's about all that can be said for it - it's 'OK'. Beer's a bit pricey, the food's not great and the landlady is a stir-fried-mentalist.

I don't go in there much.

No food at mine, but the landlady has no problems with people getting takeaways delivered there, as long as she can pinch a little (if she wants)
However, she doesn't tend to anymore, after eating a couple of chips that were offered, with what she thought was ketchup on. Turns out it was chilli sauce, and a rather vicious one at that.

One of the lads in work got some new hot chilli sauce
Fucking hell, it has a kick.....

Do you know what it's called?
I've got a rather nasty one at home, but it's name escapes me currently. Got a fantastic, if not rather brutal sweet chilli sauce as well.

The nearest couple of pubs (one nearly next door) are a bit crapp and stabby
But The Montague Arms is 5 minutes away and it's proper nice. They have Fairy lights and animal heads and nautical shit on the walls and they have live music and a really god selection of beers (including Cherry). I know I've just made it sound LOLwaki and shite but it's genuinely really nice and has a rep for being the weirdest pub in South London.

In the other Direction We Have the New Cross Inn, which looks seriously rough, but often has good punk bands playing, and sometimes not so good ones.
