Blue Boar

[slapheadsteve]

It looks like Real Ale. Brentwood Blonde and Elephant School, Aussie Blonde may make quite a few appearences in the Blue Boar. Michelle is very happy with how much was drunk.
Asked for more of the same to be delivered next week.

 

[slapheadsteve]

Delivery of the usual Real Ale's made today.
For tomorrow Night's Game.

I like the boar but have stopped going in on a matchday. It was ridiculously busy the other week and a nightmare to get a pint. People sit at the bar and it's a nightmare to get a drink. Not knocking the pub or staff just like to get a beer without aggro.

I go in on quieter days.

That said, I went on the spread and the beer was terrible.

Probably do the railway instead which is my local.

I drank the Brentwood Blonde and the Aussie Blonde while watching the Woking game in the Boar.
Couple of good ales which were thoroughly enjoyed and Michelle said that they were going well and she'd like to keep them on so thumbs up from me.

I did hear the ale in the Spread was not up to much from a source that I trust so I'll give that a miss.

That’s not 1998!

Late 50’s to 1964 ish I’d say

A mention that Real Ale is still on in the Blue Boar for matchdays.
Michelle is putting two on today.
Brentwood Blonde and Aussie Blonde.
Thanks to all Southend Supporters for
a new outlet in Southend Area for Real Ale.

Popped in the Blue Boar last night. Three of us had some of the Aussie Blonde which was left.
Still around a dozen pint left when we left. Worth a look in today or tom if you like real ale and only £3.90 a pint

I'm sure I remember going to discos in here in the late 70s/early 80s - back in the days where you could be out late at night in the area as a young woman, and feel safe!

Yep - ditto and it was the first pub I ever got drunk in ?

First time I went in there on 2nd Nov 1973 the day I got married with Bob Jennings RIP and Steve Sutton .

The only time I drank in the Blue Boar away supporters put the windows in. So long ago and so unmemorable that I can't remember who the aways were. Never been back. No need when we had the Spread and the Golden Lion.

The golden lion and the Nelson. Sadly both have been gone so long now.

Time passes but both must have been gone 10 years or so.

I used to sometimes pop to bar Vic too and thats been gone probably 10 years + too.

Last home match I popped to the railway for a couple and then the spread.

The spreads beer is awful and served in a plastic glass.

Oh no lol
I just can’t cope with the hang overs these days - must be an age thing

Just a Thank you S.U.F.C. Supporters from the local Campaign For Real Ale Branch.
If Southend United was not at Roots Hall, this pub would not stock Real Ale. As it only has the trade for it on and just after Match Days.
I personally will be joined by the Missus and a few people after the game to sample the Brentwood Blonde and Elephant School Aussie Blonde.
It wont be on in the Blue Boar till our next proper Home Game.
Cheers Again
Slaphead

Brentwood Blonde will be on before the game.
Elephant School. Aussie Blonde after the game at £3.80 a pint.

Forget about all this stripper nonsense, are they doing the real Ale thing again?

 

[slapheadsteve]

Will be stocking usual real ales for game on Saturday

Recently discovered Craftwerk in Southend on my anniversary. After 2 or 3 hours in there the meal at the roslin was always going to be interesting. Should have stayed in there and indulged in one of their pizzas.

I’m less an Aussie Blonde and more a Pommy Grey, but sounds like I’m meeting you in the Blue Boar on December 4th before Altrincham at home then Steve?

My band played in the Blue Boar back in the 1980s. It was quite a shock going back there as an exile and finding that most of the pub had disappeared...
