Pub of Dreams
Last night I went to a pub that let you take fish and chips from the chippy into it. They provided plates, napkins, cutlery and condiments. It was a really nice pub anyway because it had a huge selection of different beers from all over the place (although I was in a guinness mood). I had a couple of pints, ate some chips, chatted about all sorts of crap and went home happy.
Dreams can come true.

My pub of dreams would be a top curry house with beer, no smoking and jazz on the jukebox somewhere on the west coast of Scotland..

What pub was that Fergal? Not the Fat Cat?

I'm a big fan of eating take aways in pubs. The other day we had the double happiness of being in a pub after midnight with the bar still open and of having a kwality kebab delivered to the door. Though we weren't given plates or condiments...

Ahhh, that sounds perfect too. Where was that?
I was in The Kings Arms (the other side of town from the Fat Cat). I realise now they had no music playing or anything. It was just a really nice atmosphere - and the ketchup and vinegar were just brill. It was like being in a really nice living room. With beer on tap.
I like the Fat Cat. It has lovely beer.I had a nice time in The Marquee the other week, the grungy rock place, in a kind of nostalgic way. They were playing music really really loudly and I realised that it bothered me less than quieter played 'Trance Euphoria' played at the pubs by the Riverside.
The Playhouse is always a winner, although I am starting to feel a bit old in there.

I do like pubs which are nearby. Not hard in Norwich though.

*drools* I'm going for Fish and Chips lunch today.
I tend to hang around cafes and coffee bars these days but they all shut at 6pm! Because 'the pub' is the focal point for any young person's social intercourse I'm going to end up a bit of a hermit I guess.

The Fat Cat was for a long time my favourite place in norwich and the world, and was a 30 second walk from my house. It's a bit far from where i live now tho, but The Shed is owned by the same guy and is at the other end of norwich, 30 seconds from where i now live.

We used to go to a pub in Bedford that let you take fish-n-chips in, it was called the Foresters. It was a great pub, except during term time when it was full of student PE teachers, but then so was a lot of Bedford.
The beer was bloody rotten though.
