GRAND RE-OPENING

(This was the night we re-opened after Greenwich Council tried to ban the session at the Cricketers. Since that pub was sold, we have moved to The Lord Hood at 300 Creek road.

We opened again in style with over 30 traditional musicians playing all night, followed by a number of songs.

The cheese and biscuits were back, along with extra scotch eggs and pork pies. No-one wanted the quiche, though.

Beers were Brains, London Pride and Suffolk, all of which went down well.
