I like kitchenware - but I already like the Better Homeware shop for that. I wonder what sort of music they'll do?

I wonder what pint that is.
I've had a pint of Peroni in the Watling on Bow Lane 50p cheaper than the Railway and a pint of Meantime Pale Ale at the Sugarloaf on Cannon St cheaper than the fiver the Rosendale charge.

Amstel is cheaper to buy in than Heineken so it's odd that it is more expensive.
How much is a pint in the Horns these days?
I always thought of Amstel to be a budget brand.
In Dublin, most Dutch beers other than Heineken, which is brewed in Cork, is cheap. Dutch Gold, the ultimate cheap lager, Oraanjeboom, Amstel. All cheap.
But anyway, £5.30 for a pint of anything is too expensive, especially in West Norwood. Maybe a pint you couldn't drink all night, like Leffe or Hoegaarden.

In the UK, Heineken is 5% and Amstel 4% so always more expensive.
Heineken own Amstel (or at least have distro rights in the UK) and it's their competitor against Carlsberg, Carling and that hideous slop Fosters.

I am not sure it was that expensive. My wife had a glass of wine which was £5.50 on the wine menu. I got a pint of Heineken and a glass of apple juice and it came to £10.50. So unless the fruit juice is free for kids, I'd think it is £4 for a pint of Heineken. Let's face it, all pubs are expensive.

£4.20 for a pint of Black Sheep IIRC. Which is pretty much par for the course.
Am pretty sure they were billed as 'opening prices' behind the bar.
There were wines cheaper than £5.50 btw. She just wanted that one.
I am a terrible cheapskate and there was nothing in the prices that put me off going back compared to other pubs.
I prefer to get friends round to my flat and drink cans though as it is cheaper.

One of the best. Proper Yorkshire.
Though my (sadly very rare) favourite is probably Tim Taylor's bitter.

Popped into The Great North Wood the other day out of curiosity. Found it pretty awful to be honest, but then I do like my pubs dingy and half empty. Didn't stay long enough for a pint and after reading the prices on here I won't be doing so anytime soon. I've been a West Norwood resident for the past four years and am finding the pace of change quite unsettling at the moment. Can't everything just stay as it is? And bring back El Mina!

The Horn has been bought by the lido folks so a big change will be on the way.

Contracts not signed yet and that may not be going ahead.
How did you hear that?
With This, That and the Other becoming an Antic pub, the Great North Wood and now this, I can understand the comparisons to East Dulwich.

That was the plan I heard but didn't realise contracts had not been signed.

I'm not sure whether to be happy about that or not.
