Was thinking about our Southern Cousins who aren't used to the fresh air and the great outdoors.

Actually, the pub is handy for the Playhouse but not so for the Picture house. Doable but a pain to walk to the venue with a full bladder...
It just won't do

The Haymarket Bar was the watering hole of choice a couple of years back - Pinot Grigio on draft I believe.
Very well remembered. The Pinot Grigio in there was excellent.

In fact, the Pinot Grigio in Edinburgh and Glasgow is far superior than down here. It has more body and is much less acidic.

Anyway, where shall we all meet ?

To be honest I'm not really arsed where we meet as long as there's some decent ale on - Not paying £3+ for some shitty lager then getting into a fight. Ale or wine - we deserve no less.

Pinot Grigio Ca’ Lunghetta, Italy Clean as a whistle with
that particular Italian nutty finish.
£4.30/ 250ml


£4.30 for a large glass of Pinot. That's £2 cheaper than down here !

The Guildford Arms - we salute you.

I think it would be wise to negotiate the price of a bottle
