What are your favorite pubs now? I left Cov a long time ago and I'm so out of touch these days.
With so many pubs closing down these days we got talking in the boozer recently what was our favourite pub that is no longer around ? Many were mentioned but we could only choose one and a club.I chose the Acorn in Ringwood Highway and The General Wolfe as I miss the bands. Any others missed ?
Campbell was my weekend haunt in my youth. Upstairs on a Saturday for a few ciders and some tunes.
Quite often used to start at the Cross, then the one next to the building society (The Courtyard?) and last stop on the way to the Campbell would be the one on the corner of Much Park St and Gosford St, no idea what that was called.

Silver Sword on match days, walk out and meet the older lads walking up from the Zodiac for the walk up to Highfield Road.
On a Saturday night, Three Tuns then up to Park Lane.
As an under age we used to go to the Bear

Ah yes the silver sword always our meeting place before a match and on a night out
I liked The Market Tavern on a Saturday night,then on to the Rock House. Not saying it was right but it could end up as a punch up,chips at the Parsons Nose,taxi home,back there again the next week !
When you're pissed and got the munchies the Parsons Nose always was where we headed for. Top Spot nearby grab a granny night !My kind of Friday and Saturday night BBR! (Apart from the Parsons Snot Box! Seen behind there one day and would never eat there again!)
