I was wrong about the veggie dishes! I'd based my thought on the website. Went into the pub on Sunday and had a great veggie nut roast. There were also another two (I think) main meals and a couple of starters. Good show!<br>

Arkady

Had an amazing meal there the the other week.  Great beer, great food, brilliant service.  Try the pulled pork with pineapple.<br>

Are dogs allowed at lunchtimes?

Idoru

I would think that Misscara would positively encourage dogs at any time! More helpfully, there was a little dog in the time I went to the knitting group.<br>

Sounds great. I am coming tomo with4 mates. Chang

@TheBullHighgate, I've just been trying to look at your website, and every page I tried to look at crashed. I either get the message "A problem with this webpage has caused Internet Explorer to close and reopen the page", or "Internet Explorer has stopped trying to restore this website. It appears that the website continues to have a problem." Any ideas what might be causing it? Thx.

andy

I would like someone to run an evening where we can play with the brewing kit

mapsa

Oooh yes. Maybe we could design and brew an SG.org beer using a blend of five different hops: The London Brewing Co's "Fiveways Junction".

TheBullHighgate

Vetski - The site was ok yesterday, as far as I know. I needed to look at it a few times. Maybe something to do with your connection? How is it now?<br><br>Andy - evenings are tricky as the kit is in the kitchen and we get insanely busy, but if you have time off in the week when we brew you are welcome to come up and have a go.<br><br>Chang - I have told Anke and Bronagh that you will be joining them for knitting group. They will save you a seat.<br>

vetski

<P>@TheBullHighgate, my connection seems to be fine for Twitter, sg.org, Yahoo, Google etc, but I've just had exactly the problem I described above with your site - tab recovery on your Home & Events pages, and website restore error when I tried to look at your April events!</P> <P>So direct q - what do you charge for a Sunday roast lunch, and do you have anything special happening on Sun 29th April which would preclude a large group booking? Can't confirm yet or tell you how large, this is currently a half-formed thought!</P>

TheBullHighgate

Hi Vetski, I'm on there now from my laptop at home and not encountering any problems so I think it must be something to do with your connection. I'm on a day off today so not sure what we have on 29th April but if you email the details of your event (time, number of people etc) to lauren@londonbrewing.com I'll pick it up and get back to you tomorrow.<br>

vetski

Hmmm - baffling. I wonder it if might be IE that's the problem rather than the connection. Oh well. Thanks for checking, will be in touch if half-thought solidifies!

Idoru

Copied from the website (which is working fine for me too): <span class="menu_title">Traditional Sunday roast – Roast ribeye of beef £13.75, ½ roast chicken £12.95, roast leg of lamb £13.25, roast loin of pork £12.95 and nut roast £11.95. And apparently nowt on on 29th. <br></span>

TheBullHighgate

<p>Thanks for that Idoru. We only put public events on the event page, but I already have a private booking for the private dining room in the afternoon til 2.30. I can take a booking for after 3pm if that's any good to you Vetski?</p>

vetski

<P>Thanks @Idoru. @TheBullHighgate, I'm afraid that would be rather too late for what I have in mind. Never mind, another time! Thx.</P>

Idoru

You should definitely go another time if you've got vegetarians with you - the nut roast is lovely!<br>

Roy

@Arkady: so which are the rest of your London top 10?<br><br>

Roy

Thanks, Arkady - I might check some of those out - I don't actually know very many of those.<br>

Mirandola

The Torriano, Kentish Town<div>The Pineapple, Kentish Town</div><div>The Flask, Highgate</div><div>The Jerusalem Tavern, Clerkenwell</div><div>The Bree Louise, Euston</div><div>The Salisbury, Haringey</div><div>The Half Moon, Herne Hill</div><div>The Swimmer, Holloway</div><div>The Tipperary, Fleet Street</div><div>The Black Friar, Blackfriars</div><div><br></div><div>This is a good game</div>

Arkady

Discovered the Black Friar recently - should have been on my list.  Also, check out the Cock Pit nearby - it's in a little warren of streets that survived the Blitz - rare for the City.  There's a gorgeous little mews there called The King's Wardrobe!  I'd love to live there.<br><br>The Bree Louise is special.  Go before it's levelled for High Speed 2.<br>

Roy

The Bree Louise has quite a few years left, I think, even if High Speed 2 does go ahead and even if it does have its terminus at Euston.<br><br>Arkady, I see you list two station pubs (both of which I know).  Are there any others in London worthy of note?<br>

Arkady

They've recently done up the one in Marylebone, that's quite nice now.  And there's good one called the Railway next to Tulse Hill.  Generally slim pickings though.<br>

ChangN4N6

Try White Lion of Mortimer. Classic Victorian boozer with cheerful mainly cockney regulars and clean toilets and frequent well attended curry nites. Chang

Roy

Oh, I don't generally have cause to use Marylebone; I might check out the pub.  I know there's a station pub I used to go to with friends 10 or 20 years ago - I have a suspicion it was a Wetherspoons but my memory may be playing tricks.  I can't for the life of me remember which station it was in, though.<br>

Camra's London pub walks book by Bob Steele should be in every household.
