And strong. Many a cheap good night to be had on Smith's lager. Hell's bells! I love that stuff, and my heart is nearly as dark with envy at your proximity to Sam's. I'd be drunk every day if I was that close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be drunk every day if I was that close. I remember my first ever pint. It was rancid but I grew to love it. You could get three pints of it for a fiver back in those days (1998). It's not much above £2 a pint now. I'll have to pop back one night soon, see some friends and find out. There's a pub in York called The King's Arms. It's fairly famous as it floods every year. That's a Sam Smith's hostelry. 1 minute ago, smuvtalker said: So I've been told!! And hot custard....I now know what I'm getting next visit!! Try and get a Steak & Ale pie. Food of the Gods.

You can't buy Sammy Smith for $3.50 a pint here. I wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the wings are really good, best place to start. They also do a Buffalo Chicken Burger that's real nice. And they only serve bleu cheese sauce. They have a couple different other sauces that I haven't tried yet. I think they've gotten into some pubs in London as well, serving it as almost street food.

Ah, excellent. I loved a bit of Goughy too. His Ashes hat trick will live long in the memory. I've only made it to Headingley once this season and that was the first T20 game v Durham. Yorkshire are quietly having an awful season. On and off the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea that is pretty common now, pubs contracting out the food to other people who essentially use the pub's kitchen to run a pop up restaurant. The pubs win because they get the rent for the kitchen and a food offering to keep people in their pub and drinking their beer and the food providers win because they keep the money from food sales and they get their product out there. Often they start there and then open their own restaurant on the back of it, but it can happen the other way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you taste a big difference or not really? Definitely a bit different, but I've had solid success. Tossing them in Franks & Butter covers a lot of it. The real trick is shaking the fryer basket often to keep the wings from resting on each other for too long. I also toss them in a tablespoon of oil (I use sunflower) and give then a very light dusting of flour before frying them. Then they get nice and crispy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
