Which pub welsh side. - SV650.org

09-01-07, 04:02 PM

I should like to make a proposal for a complementary venue to the Roo, Welsh side of the Bristol Channel

Date: 1st Thursday of every month 7.30pm.

How about one of these

Additional details

The Old Ferry Inn.

The Castle – Caldicott.

The Chainbridge

Once we close the poll we can ring the preferred choice to check our welcome.

Edit

Oh and I dont suppose theres any small chance that this f'ing thread can be kept on topic either. I'm getting a bit fedup with this now. Please make sure the posts are relevant as I've now decided I'm deleting rubbish thats gets posted. If you want to post drivel use the megathread.

I've voted for the Old Ferry Inn but i'm not too bothered as they're all decent places to go. Perhaps we could rotate round the three on a month by month basis. Also, only meeting once a month may not be enough for some people, especially those of us that do shifts, so how about the first and third Thursday of each month starting in February? Just an idea.

Ive voted for that too. I know I'm on the other side but ots the location I would be most likely to get to. If I'm not meant to vote subtract 1 from Old Ferry Inn. If I am out an about I'll go to any. Living outside Bristol theres probably more chance I'll make these from time to time than the Roo where I usually have the car.

Bellerophon - Not a bad idea to rotate them, we may have a problem to ensure that people know where we are going to be. I think we should keep this thread to location only, let's get one meet sorted first before we go for anything else, neither do we want to compete with the Roo.

Rich - Yes, you and all the Mofos are essential to vote on this.

I went for the Old Ferry Inn but liked the look of The Castle too..

To be quite honest I REALLY liked the look or rather the location of The Chainbridge decent twisties on the way there and decent twisties surrounding it.. But it'd be a slog in my car so I went for the Old Ferry

I look forward to meeting up there for the first visit, car or bike I'm planning on being there

I thought the idea was to find somwhere closer to the cardiff area for the welshys to meet? The 2 monmouth pubs which look very nice & would be a good summer meeting point are just as far as the roo according to aa route planner.

So suggest an alternative location then and I'l add it to the poll options.

Although I don't post much anymore i still drop in to see whats going on, I've gone for Chainbridge as it's nearest to me and also in the middle of "twisty heaven".

If it's once a month I should be able to make it now and then but my shifts will determine whether i attend or not.

I also know a nice route the Mofos could use to get there.

I'll go looking for some pubs etc on the weekend IF the weathers not as bad as it has been over the past two days.. got my bike back now, so wont be on the Fireblade that I managed to behave myself on in monsoon conditions in the past two days...

But same concern here as Hovis... it'll take me 40 - 45 minutes to get to the Ferry and other pub.. its only another 10 - 15 minutes to the roo for me.... and if I miss my turning off the M4 for Magor services, it would be quicker to get to the Roo then.. :P
Chainbridge would be better, but takes me just as long to get there, though its twisties most of the way instead of dual carriage way...
Could get some of the Biker Wales forum involved ? some of them may be happy to get involved with us lot, as half of us have invaded their forum

the Chainbridge looks nice, but a bit "posh" - would they really welcome a load of hairy-arsed bikers in the middle of summer?

I've been the The Castle in Caldicot a few times - it is nice, the beer's okay and the food likewise.

However, I think that Hovi5 might have a point about somewhere a little closer to "Taffy Centraal", i.e. somewhere on the train route so that beer rather than bike is an option.

If, on the other hand, its a "go by bike" affair the I can think of few places better than The Blue Anchor.......we can do the lanes and "Cow Poo Corner" before stopping there. Might be a bit to far West for Brizzle lot, though.
