[marty21]

I will be staying in Peterborough Sat night, due to visiting the father-in-law, staying there Saturday night, long shot, but any decent bars, restaurants worth visiting?

Take loads of Ket, it's the preferred option

 

[DeepStoat]

No, it's a shit hole.

Until you can't take anymore.

 

[DeepStoat]

Yep, Peterborough is one of the most depressing places on this planet. Still not as bad as Luton.

 

[marty21]

Until you can't take anymore.

and then try and take more?


I'm SO looking forward to this visit

 

[Kanda]

Have fun!

 

[DeepStoat]

There's an Italian deli that's ok if you're about during the day.

 

[marty21]

I have had to wait at the train station before, now that is a miserable place to change trains at, luckily I am driving in, and driving the fuck out the next morning

I'm pleased to say I'm fifteen years out of date in whats hot in Peterborough.

Unless the nightlife has drastically improved since I lived there you're in for a shit night out.

 

[Kanda]

Just don't go.

Best advice evah! ^^

 

[DeepStoat]

To fit in you need a shiny designer shirt, plenty of gel and a shower in some potent aftershave.

Which neghbourhood does your dad live in?

Which neghbourhood does your dad live in?

it's the in-law, he lives near Peterborough, in Ruskington, but he's in a sheltered home, and we didn't want to stay in one of the guest rooms tbh (didn't even check to see if they had one) mrs21 booked the place in Peterborough, I think it's about 20 miles away, we're driving so it's no hassle


my dad lives in a proper place! Bath

according to the good pub guide, the brewery tap is ok, should I believe the guide?

I dont remember it but theyve probably changed all the names now!

apparently it was the labour exchange in a previous life

lol I used to sign on there!

 

[johnnymarrsbars]

^^^^^^ the north

vvvvvvvv peterborough

 

[marty21]

^^^^^^ the north

vvvvvvvv peterborough

well it isn't exactly southeast, it's more midlands than south east, and this is Midlands AND the North, but there should be a Peterborough forum, clearly

 

[mozzy]

Talk about bringing back memories!! Ouch! I thought I had well and truly forgotton about that! I used to sign on there too.

However, The Brewery Tap was one of the best pubs of which I can remember, and Bogarts is a good pub too, with many fine ales, as was THe GLadstone, but i reckon that's quite rough these days.

TBH, Peterborough is a nasty shitty, hell hole of what I can remember. People ask how i can sustain living in Hull, and it's proberbly cause I lived in P'boro for far too long before I moved here!! Good luck!

 

[StanSmith]

Well what about Wisbech? Ive been told thats a shit hole but ive never been (yet but i may have reason to soon). It cant be as bad as ive been told.....can it?

 

[Belushi]

Worse than you ever can imagine. Peterborough is the big city to Wisbech folk.

Was it Luigi the landlord back in the day? the Gladstone was always good for underage drinking and scoring gear!

When did you live there? I was a Peterborough boy 87-94.
