London Beers this weekend (boards.org.uk refugee thread)

Fysh

Those of you frequenting the London forum on boards.org.uk may be aware that we were planning our first beers of the new year this Saturday. Hopefully we'll get a good turnout with it being a) the weekend and b) payday.

The details are as follows:

Where: The Ship & Shovel (1-3, Craven Passage, Charing Cross, London, WC2N 5PH)
When: Saturday 30th @ 7:00.
Nearest Underground station: Charing Cross Road, Embankment, Leicester Square

Given that Zone 1 pubs tend to be jammed at the weekend I've picked a couple of alternatives we may try if the Ship & Shovel's too busy - it'll be either The Harp or The Princess of Wales. I'll try to post on-thread if we head to a different pub but the best bet is to PM me if you want to come along.

I'm afraid I won't be able to make this. Not only is my husband still fairly unwell but I picked up a nasty bug in the hospital which put me in hospital for a night last week and I'm still feeling crap.

Crikey! You're having a bad run at the moment! You, husband and dog all trying to recover!! I think that's a good enough excuse not to make it

I still won't be making it...living as far away as I do. There's a chance I might make a February beers but more on that later

So how did the night go? Was the 4-barrier broken?

It was a grand night but the 4-barrier remains in place, sadly.

On the other hand, the Ship & Shovel turned out to be a great venue - decent layout, reasonable prices and not too busy considering it's in Zone 1 and we were in on a Saturday.

We'll be heading back there next time I'd say, though hopefully with reinforcements
