    The Megson arms, only serves bitter.   But has a very well tended garden.

  • Correct, piss poor cellars at the wrong temperature certainly don't help. As mentioned above, cleaning the lines is also important, and should be done at least once per week...yes it causes a bit of w

Hopefully it doesn't stink any more. Not sure how well the cocktails will go down on a match day in a plastic half pint glass.

Macron cocktail, flat lager with a cherry in.

What was it before it became Scotts?

The Spearing - short but expensive

The Liam Trotter - shite the majority of the time but once in every hundred it's absolutely amazing.

Vela - spent too long in the cocktail cabinet but now quite popular.

Right miserable cunt behind the bar, fucking hates customers

I wouldn't expect the new place will be any cheaper, or any better quality ale

Correct, it will be equally as shit, if not shitter.

 

Just newer and possibly more expensive.

I will try it when it opens, it might make a change from Chiquitos, but don't have high hopes.

 

Scott's was horrible - dirty, shabby and the toilets were a disgrace, I would only go in if we were meeting others.

Is it the quality of the drinks or is the manager on such tight profit margins that throwing away the contents of the beer lines during a line clean makes the difference to his figures. I don't know how far the cellar is from the bar but even if each pump had to pour off a couple of pints before the caustic soda came through and then another pint after the water flush, cleaning the lines becomes an expensive business when you have 15-20 pumps.

Now just think, if the owners said to clean (and lose that amount of beer) on a weekly basis but the manager did it fortnightly, would this show in his profits?

 

Just a theory as to why the beer is shit at most of this type of modern pub.

Lack of proper cellars doesn't help.

I think Gonzo or Victor Meldrew would be able to answer.
