Great afternoon with Mick and Wilko watching the Sarries thrash Munster. Not only was it a great game but the Irish supporters really added to the afternoon, singing, shouting and just really easy going & friendly. Makes me want to go to Ireland now..
After the game we went for a couple of pints and a massive, and frankly amazing, steak pie at the excellent “Tapping the Admiral” in Kentish Town.
An awesome “proper” pub with a welcome fire, friendly people, and pub cat!
If your wondering why its called “Tapping the Admiral”
“After Nelson’s death in the battle of Trafalgar in 1805, his body was placed in a barrel of brandy to preserve it on the long journey home. Legend has it that the crew drilled a hole in the top of the barrel and would use macaroni straws to draw off a little brandy to drink to the naval hero, Admiral Horatio Nelson, hence the term used to describe a sneaky drink: Tapping the Admiral.”
eeuuhhh!!
Pie Porn!
I enjoyed a couple of these last night. Its brewed by the Twickenham Fine Ale Brewery which , incidentally, has a bar in the brewery which is open for internationals at Twickenham and Saturday Harlequins matches. A match made in heaven!
