Royal Tavern Mottingham

Tavern

Did anyone see the article in the News shopper re this pub being open 24 hours? what a joke!They are spending alot of money refurbing it and are going to turn it in to a over 25s bar Thurs,Fri and Sats,now dont get me wrong i use to love the place years ago,but i for one would be narked if i was living on court road.They are trying to get the license for this today

Ledge

aaah my local when I was living at home. Still go there for a pint with my bruv when I am over that way.

Can't believe they'd get the go ahead for that to be honest ...... do they think over 25's would mean less trouble then LOL .

Tavern

northstandsteve

Yer I sit next to him and Jamie,Lee is a responsible person nowadays

les_says

my dad's still a regular although he prefers the porcupine in the village now. we've been on the day trip to the epsom derby with the royal tavern a few times, great laugh.

they often opened 24 hours anyway, my neighbours keep finding my dad asleep in the garden on sunday mornings!

Tavern

i used to play football with a lee grain. shaved head, think he was a crane operator or something, bit of a loon on the football pitch (just ask oohaah, peakey or morts-genius). is this the same fella?

Tavern

Yes it would be

northstandsteve

definately,Lee played for my sunday team once and got sent off.

i once played centre half with lee and was nearly physically sick at some of the "tackles" he was making. so much so i persuaded the manager to change tactics at half time and play me in midfield just to get away from him. top fella though.

northstandsteve

Lee's a legend and a top bloke.Charlton through and through

northstandsteve,
russ that you mentioned yesterday posts on here occasionally, well he's registered, you might know that anyway.

i love lee, he did me a big favour once... tho i might think differently in years to come!!
