LibertyBell Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Roger and Out was indeed served by the third and I found it rather sweet and 'treacly'. not like "beer" really sort of barley wine meets port or similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitehorses Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I used to work in the Frog and Parrot in the late 80's.The people who came in were great, but the landlord was a horrid person to work for and very full of himself. We used to have to wear a very demeaning barmaid's outfit of an old fashioned serving wench.This consisted of green top with puffed sleeves, long checked skirt and serving apron.I used to die a thousand times when someone came in and saw me in that outfit.Had to be there to earn some money to bring up my son.I only worked evenings.Oh God, and did I mention the mob cap we had to wear too?It was the worst.The whole outfit made you look seven sizes bigger than you were. There did used to be a parrot but it died, which they then replaced with a stuffed one for a while. Roger and out was served in wine type glasses which were a third of a pint, it was like port and stout mixed. Quite a few famous faces came to sample the ale, and I did uesd to get invited to a fair few gigs at city hall etc, but meanie old Roger wouldn't ever let me leave early to catch the acts.

mtnz Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 They also used to have a real Parrot in their if memory serves me right I remember the parrot was so stressed out by all the drunken attention it got, it had pecked out most of its feathers. Not surprised it died. Great pub at the time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ousetunes Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I remember the parrot was so stressed out by all the drunken attention it got Most birds feel like this down town on a Saturday evening! I'd forgotten about the outfits whitehorses kindly reminded me of in her post. Well, as an 18 year old I was impressed with them; another reason to visit what was a fantastic pub.
