They should at least serve the Old Speckled Hen warm.Jerrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282140921851003304.post-57274315874307040992011-11-02T13:48:56.574-04:002011-11-02T13:48:56.574-04:00@3rd Anonymous—Yeah, no good.@3rd Anonymous—Yeah, no good.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14129472719929268755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282140921851003304.post-38514635784999775852011-11-02T10:52:00.480-04:002011-11-02T10:52:00.480-04:00I want on a weeknight and really enjoyed the feel ...I want on a weeknight and really enjoyed the feel - there were interesting beers, friendly staff, and delicious bread pudding. The one drawback - Matt Baumgartner's perpensity to give young bro-dudes giant cups of beer/margarita on their birthdays at all his establishments can quickly turn a mellow night out at a pub into a raucus yelling mess of people doing silly dances at your table looking for a reaction. The overly-drunk youngins' really ruined the vibe. Perhaps save the oversized birthday drinks for Bombers and don't let the kids ruin the Beergarten and the Olde English Pub for those of us looking for a lower-key time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282140921851003304.post-36108979587310765552011-10-01T22:53:21.259-04:002011-10-01T22:53:21.259-04:00The Beer is over priced.

I have know idea about any additional menu items, but it wouldn't surprise me if tikka shows up. I'm not so sure sweet corn on pizza will, though!<br /><br />Onto the boozy comment. I used Scotch to differentiate it from American or Irish Whiskey. As far as the spelling goes, the plural of whisky is whiskies, while the plural of whiskey is whiskeys.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14129472719929268755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282140921851003304.post-50850468937693023472011-09-24T10:00:22.385-04:002011-09-24T10:00:22.385-04:00We haven't been yet but I just wanted to comme...We haven't been yet but I just wanted to comment based on your description that it sounds to me like it IS authentic. In the UK you order your food at the bar and they then serve it to you. Most pubs have numbers on the table and you give the bar your number so they know which table to bring it to. Jacket potatoes with tuna or cheesy baked beans is extremely common food in the UK. Sausage and chips- common. Now if they have lasagna and chips I'll know it's authentic. Also, if they don't have chicken tikka masala on the menu then they aren't 100%....there isn't a pub in the UK that doesn't have chicken tikka on the menu. The pub food may be weird to Americans but for British ex-pats like us it will be like going home. <br />ps- please don't go to the UK and refer to whisky as "scotch whiskie" if you don't want your head to be battered in. The usage of the word "scotch" is horrendously bad. And you spelled whisky wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
