“To be fair, I'm not terribly interested in Medium-cut Seville orange marmalade myself, so I might make a quadruple of it....
probably just as well the pub of the week is currently closed, otherwise this'd be turning into NYE all over again.”

“The link forThe Gryphon doesn't work? But I have heard amazing things about the beers in there, and it's been on my list to visit for far too long already. Is that info current Nick? So re-opening on the 14th?
I will compensate for missing No.8 by going to GBK twice instead... :D”

“The Gryphon is closed at the moment for a refit! Can you make it Pub of the week in about 10 days time.”
