The Royal Standard, Colliers Wood

Sunday is Nipple night. What a treat. I used to go to the Griffin in Clerkenwell to see some top grade snatch, but now I find my requirements are fullfilled in sunny Colliers wood.

Tip: Say your hands have stopped working and let the girls behind the bar 'fumble for your change'. I'm thinking of cutting a hole in my pocket.

The Royal Standard, Colliers Wood

Went to last nights 'Red-Snapper' theme evening at the Royal Standard and feel I have cause for complaint.

If at least two of the bar staff have completely shaven 'mutts' then there is no red and just snapper. Perhaps the evenings theme name needs re-thinking or perhaps some Scottish merkins are in order just for Tuesdays? I would be happy to supply them and look after them during the rest of the week.

Tip: the salt'n'vinegar crisps are on the lowest shelf right at the back. This requires the greatest effort to reach by the barstaff and thereby provides the most 'rewarding' of sights. I can't possibly eat the amount of crisps I have been buying, so I will be leaving a pile on the tressle tables outside at closing time. These will be available on a help yourself first come first serve basis.

GJ's, Colliers Wood

Came here on Bank Holiday Monday with my girlfriend to watch the football after the Colliers Tup had refused to show it (after changing their minds). I found their positive and laid back friendly manner most agreeable. The pub looks in serious need of a re-furb but appears to be getting one as they had work-men out the back and the food was off. About a dozen people came in asking for food so they must be doing something right. I am looking forward to going in to watch a game once the work is finished. A definite case of watch this space.
