happyhippy Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Only went in those pubs at the end of the days of beer on (or just off) the Wicker, though it was always an experience! I remember on the first Sunday that all day opening was allowed, the Independent on Sunday ran a typical sort of "let's see what boozers think" article, and they went down the Wicker in the previous week, and called it, ahem, ..... "A boulevard of notorious intemperance" Christ alone knows what they'd have made of it some years beforehand! I knew Trevor from the Bull & Oak reasonably well, and I still think the Viaduct had a reasonably decent pint of Wards (nowt like in the sadly missed Harlequin though), but it tended to be the Big Gun where I'd end up in after Saturday matches. Mainly because the beer was dirt cheap, and that we could get on the pool table too. I remember after a match v Reading (which we lost), my mate Darren deciding to get the hump on and take on the entire Met Police Rugby Union Squad in the tap room. Oh, how we laughed! What was probably the funniest bit (bearing in mind that I was a serving Civil Servant) was the barman tipping us a wink to say "These are coppers, so be careful!". Is the Hare and Hounds still derelict? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidorry Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I always thought the Viaduct was a Tetleys house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhippy Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I always thought the Viaduct was a Tetleys house. It became Wards in the late 80s/early 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
