Britannia Inn closed for the summer

Apparently The Brit is shut for the next three months, undergoing a monster refit and expansion, opening with a new restaurant. Looking forward to seeing it!

Samaritans Part One

(Nearly) always ready to help out a fellow popExer, I'm pleased to announce that Finsbury Park's favourite record label Moshi Moshi records have a new release out, a 7" from Blue Foundation... You can have a listen before you buy, there's an MP3...

The Britannia,

During our holidays in Dungeness,we went to both Britannia Inn & Pilot for a meal. To be honest, Britannia Inn was far much better in terms of food and atmosphere. The fish was lovely. The staff were polite and friendly. For sure, we will go back nex...

Britannia Inn

Re-opened following refurbishment. Three traditional ales available. New restaurant, haven't tried it yet but I'll let you know.

"an important part of amusement park heritage" gone forever...

The Save Dreamland Campaign has worked tirelessly over the last few days to save the Runaway Coaster, being the only side friction figure eight coaster left in the UK and one of only two in the world. We believed it to be an important part of amuseme...

RE: The Britannia in Dungeness

We've been there lately. Absolutely lovely. Highly recommend if you go visit Dungeness.

Didn't go to Canterbury all weekend!

Imagine that... Overslept Sunday morning, so we went to Escondido for lunch instead. The chef got my food wrong again, so for the second time in a row mine came free, that's nice. Apparently Escondido weren't quite recovered from a disaster the previ...

Britain By Cub

Charity appeal from someone at work:I was just briefly hoping to make you aware of a fund raising event two of my friends are taking part in on behalf of Demelza House who as you may know do fantastic work caring for terminally ill children. The even...

RE: The Britannia,

Far much better than the Pilot? I think the lack of literacy says it all!........

The Britannia, Dungeness

It's a lovely meal. Where else can be better! Don't miss it when you go visit Dungeness.

Britannia Inn

Having booked for six adults and two children and making is clear that one child would need a high chair and having been told that this would be fine when I made the booking. We arrived to be told that they do not have a high chair. We put the two ...

Portchester Castle mentioned in the Telegraph today

Some ghostly nonsense, spoon fed to them by English Heritage:At Portchester Castle, in Portsmouth Harbour, a member of staff heard the sound of horses' hooves and then saw a riderless horse emerge from the walls of the castle, race across the area wi...

Happy Anniversary to me

We got married four years ago today, lovely. She has gone off to Eastwell Manor today to celebrate with a friend! Well, it was their birthday presents to each other and it just happens to fall on today. I think. It's a spa, what was it I was going to...

VICTOR Frankenstein

Clare did the quiz at The Britannia last night. They drew but lost in the tie break. Not sure of the full details but doesn't sound like the deserved to get that far, they couldn't come up with the first name of Frankenstein, so plumped for Henry. An...

Free curry and booze!

Was entertaining @felixge who is consulting for us at work this week, so first to drinks at the Three Mariners and then on for a curry at The Everest. I say I was entertaining, I was probably quite entertaining with my jokes and so on, but really wor...

Third time at the quiz, third place in the quiz

Clare's team came third in The Britannia Wednesday quiz yesterday. First week they won it, second week they came second, third week they came third. I can almost see a pattern here, but it just escapes me.As well as The Last Detective I watched the e...

Good quiz at the Britannia, Horn Street

We did the quiz at The Britannia this week, my first time though the wife has been the previous three weeks. A good fun quiz, apparently the food is very good too. Next week I'll be there early for the eats too as it is curry night.We came second, th...

Clare's new phone has arrived...

Wait a minute I thought it was my new phone? Hmm, sounds like Calre might snaffle this new HTC Wildfire even though it is identical to hers, just minus a few scratches and fingerprints... Fair enough it was her top negotiating skills that got me the ...

Britannia quiz this week is FULLY BOOKED!

We won the quiz at The Britannia for the second week in a row last night. Don't be afraid to go next week though, as we have to take a week off.Somehow we won by a clear ten points last night. There was a big round about airport names, that I should ...

Not much Darkness history before 2003 on their wikipedia page

Yeah I am making my own music industry conspiracy theory, having been drawn in by that BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT and the RONAN PARKE CONNECTION post that has been doing the rounds (thought that might all be bobbins.The Darkness wikipedia page seems to be ...

Harry's third day at school

Harry had his third settling in session at nursery today, Clare left him there for nearly two hours. He was OK when she left and while she was away but a little tearful when she came back... he's ramping it up each time, this Friday he's there for th...

Dimwits took the quiz again this week

We are "the dimwits", and we took first place in the quiz at the Britannia again this week, by a healthy margin. The name is not smugly ironic or anything btw, worrying a bit that it seems like that, the quiz was named after Jim, known as Dim, who wa...

BARRED from the quiz for being too good!

OK, not actually barred, and nothing to do with us performing well recently, but we are not allowed to go to the quiz at The Britannia tonight; they're overbooked. It's curry night tonight, which is always very popular. We tried to book in last Wedne...
