Brighton Pub World Cup ***Grand Final***

[The Large One]

An epic final. I am not surprised that these heavyweights have delivered a fitting end to what has been a marvellous competition.

Indeed. Trafalgar now putting in a final-lap sprint.

That's the Olympics you are getting muddled up with

The halloumi and roasted veg ciabatta I had in the BoT on Saturday was FANTASTIC, although the accompanying chips were unusually anaemic. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and they get my vote.

In the event of a draw at 12pm how will this be decided?

I rather suspect there's a certain mod who will ensure this eventuality is never reached...

I wouldn't. I trust NScers to do the right thing.

Ovett v Coe. Ovett used to train on Ditchling Road as my old man drove to work at STC many moons ago. This is completely irrelevant I know.

Although if Ovett was a pub he'd be the BOT.

Plus the BOT has got a pool table*. Have fond memories playing in there as a youngster.


*Twas back in Brighton the other week and went to the Brewery Tap with a mate to watch some lunchtime football. We used to frequent the boozer when Denise ran it and red-nosed taxi driver Chris drank the place dry of cider. Anyway, some middle aged guys wander in with their own pool cues, lay down £30's worth of pound coins on the table and start their marathon pool session. Now I might not have wanted to play a game of pool but isn't this behaviour a tad w@nky?

Rant over

But terrible shame that the Trafalgar no longer has the bar billiards table it used to have

The BoT has been my regular for 20yrs. Apart from owners, it has, more or less, remained unchanged. Fantastic.
I love the Baskets also, but this is my number 1. The staff and the Harvey's have generally remained really really good.
Generations of Albion fans have passed through its doors. I have met some of my best friends within. During the battles of the late 90s, it really was our 'war rooms' where a lot of shenanigans were planned.
We still have our table reserved ( although some JCLs planted their arses in there, Saturday!!!)

I love the ambience at the BoT. The selection of ciders also helps

 

[The Large One]

The Battle of Trafalgar has a Crystal Palace fan working behind the bar.

Keeping the seats warm for you Mr S. Happy to stand...

If someone asked me the best pub in Brighton I would not say The Battle of Trafalger. It's okay. But the best?

 

[Paris]

Was just wondering whether John Terry drinks in the Battle of Trafalgar?

I'm on tapatalk at the moment and can't see the result. I'm guess BoT has it.

The poll doesn't seem to have closed. It 97/93 to the BoT at the mo.

When does the Poll close?

The final has been decided. The outcome confirmed.

This year's Brighton Pub World Cup Winner is...

The Battle of Trafalgar

Congratulations all round
