Goose, Fulham

I used to work in this pub back in 1967, when Alf Nash (my Fathe In Law) had it.

It was a pretty basic pub back then. Good beer, pub food, couple of Darts teams but that was about it. Typical "street market" pub with all the problems that come with it.

Changing the name so many times seems like a futile attempt to change the image.... I'd like to go back just to see what they've made of the place now.... Maybe someday!!

The Blind Beggar, Whitechapel

I haven't been in the Beggar for years but plan on a visit in a couple of weeks. I'm somewhat nervous after reading some of these reviews! Can it have deteriotated that much?

Oh well I'm locked into it now as I've made arrangements to meet a bunch of friends there. I'll post an unbiased review after my visit.

One thing I'm surprised about though, is how many people write about the pub's history and, obviously, do not know what they're talking about!!
"OffThe Wagon" ? I seriously think you should consider getting back on!!!!
