They're phasing out cocktails as well. A friend of mine ordered a

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.

I have been refused a quintuple measure of single malt whisky. The barman said he couldn't sell more than a double in one glass.

And easier to cook - although I wonder if they've considered the costs of keeping a pizza oven hot all day?

Shurely easier to store (freeze) & cook from frozen? Or are we
talking "fresh" pizza?


Fresh.

Fresh.


Or not.

Just double checked what you get.

The pizza dough arrives at the pub frozen. Mind you it was frozen whilst
it was still fresh and it is "freshly baked" once it has been defrosted
and hand stretched!

Easier to cook! What could be easier to cook than 8oz of a dead bit of a
cow?

Dunno the power rating of the oven. Say 8kW for 10 hours a day and a bit
of diversity as the stat kicks in (20kWh max)! £3 profit per pizza.

Just like Pizza Express then.

That's legally "fresh".

Ridiculous. A single measure in this country is so tiny it's a waste of
time ordering anything less than "four fingers" as we used to be able to
call it before the EU banned everything.

It'll be better cooked from frozen - no thawing and stretching.
