The Beef and Barrel, Ponders End

Passed by last weekend and it was boarded up.
Refit?
Fire?
H&S? Anyone know

BRB at The Gate, Alexandra Park

Popped in for a quick beer between trains the other (Thursday) night. Young crowd. Seemed fine.
Took a while to get served, though they had run out of all the draught beer, and was working their way throught the bottled stuff.

Big screens showing sports - well it was darts, but you get the point. Few people in the pizza place at the back. Will give that a go next time.

The Ranelagh, Bounds Green

Was passing by, so tried this the other Saturday.

Inside was a kind of retro 70s scene, but with some obscure beers on tap. I tried the cherry beer. Really nice though it was �3.80 for a pint.
Outside was a nice enough garden, and you can forget you're near a busyish main road. Forgot about those pesky wasps in beer gardens. The barbecue was starting up but had to go.

Would definitely go back.
