Thumbs up for Hawthorn 16:05 - Jun 26 with 3776 views | 222gers | Went there as 1st pub of my ST renewal pub crawl. Only 1 ale - Oxford Gold but it was fine. Not the greatest selection of beers, but lovely scotch egg and chips. Nice atmosphere, quite full for lunchtime. Really good jazzy & bluesy music on sound system. Even a piano(!). I played a few things but an American bloke told me I was playing all the wrong notes. Rest of crawl - worst ever. Askew no ale, Andover closed,Thatched only duff Pride, Prisoner of War, 4 ales, all of which I had to take back. Hammersmith Belle, previous posters were correct, hell on earth. Spoons came to the rescue. |  | | |  |

Ironically, my local rugby team, who won promotion to the second tier of French rugby last season, are holding a ST holders event at a local winery. Where we can renew with 10% off and sample accordingly. It's been designated a Mrs PH driving night. |  |

My local rugby team, Cahors, (albeit, I am only a part-timer in France) is playing the Finale of Federale 2 today. I am hoping to watch on YouTube with my French neighbour, who could not get to the match at Issoire. I shall be passionate about the rugby for 80 minutes, then drift back into the annual pre-season optimism for QPR. |  | |  |

Lovely house lager, especially at 32degrees outside, and am assured the IPA tasted good. Food was pretty awesome, though not cheap. Amazed how busy it was on a Monday lunch time. Scotch egg starter, Chicken Milanese, ice cream ….. no dinner 6 pints between us. Staff really friendly |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

So unsure if that is a joke but 434 Uxbridge Road just past Queen Adelaide, definitely staggering distance to HQ |  | |  |

I absolutely love the vine. Really need an Indian run pub like that down here on the sussex coast. I'd never be at home |  |

Well, I know…but the wife and I are struggling a bit, so she thought we'd try it. Lovely lady from Ethopia originally. We pay the agency a subsription and pay the lady in cash. We always pay her above the minimum. I think you may be surprised at how many people have a cleaner these days., I know a few. |  | |  |
