It's now going to be pizzas they sell.

Better profit margin.

They're phasing out cocktails as well. A friend of mine ordered a
'slippery nipple' on Friday evening and was given the Baileys and the
Sambuca in separate glasses. They're not allowed to mix such drinks
any more, for some reason! I wonder what they'd say nowadays if
someone ordered a 'snakebite'.



Probably some snowflake found the name offensive....

When I asked there were always two excuses, people get really drunk on
those and cause fights so we don't serve them, or it's a cocktail and we
don't have a license for cocktails. Cocktails are defined as two or more
mixed alcoholic drinks.

There is no such thing as a licence for selling cocktails. The Licence is
to serve alcohol. It's obviously a management decision, but put the blame
on to someone else. Usually it's the HSE who get the blame.

Not sure if the HSE can do that sort of thing in pubs, but the landlord does have the right to serve of not to serve and this pub was very close to a police station in chingford, but they agreed to sell me what I wanted in two seperate glasses so a few rounds and a few weeks later they gave in when they realised that I wasn't the one likely to cause problems but the kids on stella were.
