Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Can I vote for a different pub? one that's not in a basement and a bit easier to find?!

I don't much care where we go, to be perfectly honest.

Somewhere along the front would be easier. I got lost finding the other one a couple of years ago. And I'm not sure if I'd like it closer to the finish line or not - closer means a longer walk to the station afterwards, but seeing as I'll hopefully be feeling a bit more refreshed by then it might not matter. On the other hand, if I've been sitting down I'll be rather stiff.

Decisions, decisions ...

As long as the place serves food and bubbles then I am happy, but I have booked our hotel for Sun night nearish to the location of the pub from last year so we didnt have too far to go...

Last two years have we all met at the Globe in Middle Street. I don't know why we ended up downstairs last year.

Anyway, for a change of venue close to the old one and child-friendly, how about The Hop Poles further up the same road?

Wasn't overly keen on that pub last year - and less so the aimless wandering around trying to find it! ;)

Aimless wandering isn't necessary. It's one road east from the main road which leads up from the seafront to the station (West Street). If you stand with your back to the Odeon, you can look down South Street and see the Globe. The Hop Poles is further up Middle Street from the seafront on the left side.
