Calling all Evening Star afficianadoes/real ale fans!

[attila]

Dark Star Brewery's second freehold pub, the Duke of Wellington in Brighton Road Shoreham (on the coast road just before Shoreham High St, near the Adur Council offices) opens tonight. Starting a new career as a pub landlord (a vocation, I'd say, in his case) is our old mate and Albion programme editor Roy Chuter aka Not So Slim - I 'm sure many on NSC would like to wish him all the best! Party to celebrate with reggae from Andy Baron and Prince Ash....hope to see a few of you there!

Big Roy behind the bar ? Is this a new form of profit sharing ?

Brilliant. What great news. The cycle track from Steyning will take some additional traffic. Mind you - got to get past The Red Lion first .......................

Blimey Charlie, The Duke of Wellington in Shoreham. I spent most of 1990/91 in said ale house. It was only open during the evenings in those days as I vaguely remember.

We were lucky lately to get Wed, Fri and Sat nights after it opened from rehab...

Dolly Dagger were the obligatory First Fri of each month....with a few dreary local bands every other...

More like the Lapdogs bar

Well, it'll be open all day every day now and there will be 8 nights of music a month, mostly local young bands playing their own material (which the Welly has a tradition for anyway) the Evening Star range of ales and food soon as well..

 

[The Large One]

You mean not real ale tonight?

 

[Grendel]

Best of luck to Roy, I once spent a particularly drunken evening in the Linden Tree with him, asking him who the hell he was every 15 minutes. He kept answering politely, to his eternal credit.

 

[attila]

OF COURSE there will be real ale tonight Alan. GALLONS of it.

 

[Derbyshire Seagull]

Good luck Roy. Would come down but its a bit of a walk from here.

 

[Domsdad]

Good luck to Roy. Roy's still known as Sumo to me and Patch from schooldays at Kings Manor in the 1970s.

I'll make a visit to the Duke of Welly next time I'm in GOSBTS.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Nice one Roy - best of luck with the pub

 

[Dover]

Good luck Roy! All the best.

 

[Beach Hut]

Think I will pop in sooner rather than later then.
