How much do Londoners drink?

Posted by anonymous about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 59 responses

My mate used to say that as long as you don’t drink more than your doctor, you’ll be alright. And so far I’ve suffered no ill-effects even though I generally get through a bottle of wine a night, occasionally preceeded by a pint or perhaps two. A rare session in the pub will see me down no more tha...

Desperate Plea for Technical Assistance!

Last night I spilled a glass of wine on my laptop. I turned it off, removed the battery and set it on its side to dry overnight. This morning I have tried to start it up. Once or twice it has got as far as starting windows, but the part of the keyboard I spilled on doesn’t work so I couldn’t get past ...

Anyone done wine tasting?

Last active about 1 year ago 10 responses

As part of the on-going Claphamisation of East Dulwich, a really posh new wine merchant, which offers tastings, food matching training etc, has recently opened; also I inherited a Wine Society membership from my grandma – both of these have got to me appreciating nice wine (lots of it) rather more, and I’...

as it is better known by intimates of the Bard… Mr Potty and I are going to take in a bit of culture – that is before destroying all memory of it with lots of restorative malmsey wine and elizabethan ale. We’re venturing to the Globe, of old fame, on the 22nd June at 7.30 to be grubby groundl...

Those kind people at Shlooooerrr are hosting a series of summer screenings of…wait for it…Dirty Dancing. Yes, you too can relive the moment you sat next to your girlfriend at the cinema and thought…”I’m bound to get a shag for sitting through this pile of unmitigated dog shit”. So...

Ideal dinner party menu..?

Posted by Richo about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 22 responses

Now that I am hitting the 30+ bracket, the only respectable way to get bladdered is to hold a ‘dinner party’ it seems…. so, was wondering, what in London stands for a ruddy impressive dinner party spread these days? personally I think it’s all in the wine and the chocolate pud…

Are dining clubs a thing of the past? I think a revival is due.

Posted by schmoovedarling about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 15 responses

Maybe I’m not that great at finding things on google or maybe there are too many dating orientated dining clubs and not enough dining clubs orientated around food. I’m not quite an established foodie but London is a great place to learn more about the wonderous stuff. I always used to think dining clu...

Ok, so, being the great big skank that I am, I’m going to bump off the FC Earlsfield Chapter meet up to go out with my new bloke. Anyway, where should I take him? We are heading into central London tonight, arriving at Waterloo? Any ideas? A jazz bar? Some kind of music venue with a bar? Help!

Have you been to Green & Blue in Clapham North?

Posted by SeeSee about 1 year ago
Last active 4 months ago 18 responses

I’ve been a couple of times since it opened and I’m absolutely loving it. It’s just round the corner from Clapham North tube and, if you know the one in Dulwich, it’s like that but a bit smaller. Basically it sells loads of really interesting wines from small producers, but it’s also...

Where can I drink next to a cozy fire tonight?

Posted by babybat about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 1 response

Ok, so I’d like to go out for a drink tonight, and I’d like to embrace the winteryness by sitting in a cosy pub with a glass of wine, preferably close to a real fire. But where? Does anyone know of a decent pub, ideally in W1/WC1/WC2 with a real fire, that won’t be packed to the gills with after-...

Romantic, but casual place for champagne & food in Shoreditch/Clerkenwell?

Posted by ShootsandLeaves about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 18 responses

I need somewhere near Farringdon/Barbican that I can go for a romantic evening – but I don’t want a posh restaurant. Ideally somewhere like a classy winebar – that serves great champagne by the glass as well as food – cheese plates, salads, tapas-ey type stuff. Maybe even somewhere that you c...

Did you have a good time ? Head North and come back to gloat at all the miserable wet Londoners with your psychic ability to predict contrary weather patterns ? Get drunk at a Beer festival in a cultural and informed fashion because it was sponsored by Camra ? Watch Indiana Jones ? Go on, brighten up my day wi...
