| Sorry to disappoint you bloodylimey but change is a constant even in Beckenham. ripitupandstartagain - 28 Jan 2012 20:49 |
| Visited this pub this past weekend, encouraged after reading 'ripitupandstartagain's report from last November, where he recommended the place for fracás. I told the 'Mrs' to doll herself up, we're off to explore Becknum and to find ourselvles a 'donnybrook'. It's always good to take the liitle lady for such events, particulalry when I need someone to 'hold me back'....She obliged and before we knew it, were safely inside the cramped and over packed interior, where the crowd divided into two side, football and rugby, where numerous middle-ageing geezers appeared in good spirit, they certainly seemed to confirm their King Edward potato look-a-like status, Excellent I thought, looks just the sort of place for us to get in a punch-up! So we stood and were suitably jostled, as I tried to look menacing and 'wanting to know'.... time passed with a rather pricey London Pride and glass of white wine for the lady, not exactly good, but better than I'd expected. Halfway through, still no fight... I started to consider some local pattois, maybe that would help, I rather fancied the old "Oi, you looking at my bird?" (Which I believe is the Beckenham town Motto?) but it just didn't seem to fit. More patrons piled into the bar and I started to get my hopes up, younsters all dollied up for a night out, surely they must be eager for a bit of a dusting?? But as one chap bumped into us he had the audacity to say 'sorry'!!! Downhearted, we finished our drinks and left.... Maybe next eh? bloodylimey - 19 Dec 2011 16:41 |
| Very Very Expensive (we were in here on Tuesday 10/5). Fairly grotty décor, and generally grubby feel to the place. Hubby said there was a massive Richard in one of the loo's in the gents, resulting in a plague of flies. Can't see how they can justify their prices, especially as there was only a handful of other customers there. There must be better pubs in the area. 3/10 from us. PissFlap - 12 May 2011 16:15 |
| bloody expensive and had more managers than newcastle utd in recent years. getdrunkquick - 12 Dec 2010 17:22 |
| Met some friends here on Sat 20 Nov. Not my sort of pub was full of people watching the rugby then the Palace/Sheffield game came on so lots of silly little boys turned up chanting and screaming at TV. I suppose that watching their team in a pretty average pub in Beckenham and swearing at the tops of their voices is as exciting as their lives get. Then it's home to their X Boxes. I think it's the lager that ruins these twats that and the lack of vegetables in their diets. Palace lost in the end so was quite amusing. A nice little fight then broke out between 2 middle aged dudes with one headbutting the other. The headbutter retired outside the pub for a while while the other dude was restrained by a small women. You know the old 'hold me back, hold me back' scenario. He was screaming 'I'll see you in Beckenham you c***.' As my mate said at the time, 'You're in Beckenham now!' m going to leave this gaff well alones it's full of' men's men' who always worry me. The majority of them look like King Edward potatoes and the others aren't up to much, so unless you like drinking with these types then go elsewhere. Strange these proud English men do not seem to be over keen on their national drink - ALE and prefer the lager but you they get confused easily. ripitupandstartagain - 21 Nov 2010 20:38 |
