When I was a gal our milk came from the milkman and my mum put a note out every night telling the milkman how much we’d like the next morning. Better – once a month the friendly milkman would come round and settle the bill, having a nice chat whilst he was at it. I like this idea. I’m often too la...

Is Your Local the Best Pub in London? Vote for it!

Posted 5 months ago 3 responses

Love your local? Of course you do. Then why not nominate it as London’s Best Loved Local? A new Love Your Local campaign launched by Stella Artois and spearheaded by publican/actor Jason Flemyng (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrel, Snatch … and soon to be appearing in ITV’s Primeval), gives pub goers the opportunity to recognize and reward pubs that are the “lynchpins of their local communities, offer a welcoming atmosphere for their customers to relax in and socialise and of course support responsible drinking.” The initiative is on for the next three months, during which time folks can go online to nominate their favourite London pubs for the title of London’s Best Loved Local. Following the nominations, one pub will be crowned top London pub and receive a total prize fund of £8500 and a community trust of £5000 “to invest for the good of their local community.” Three runners up will be awarded with £1000 community trusts. All four winning pubs will receive Love Your Local plaques to show off for all to see. Read More
