Pubs on the lap?

[steve-e]

I guess we mean actually on the course?
So we start with the Quarterbridge and then the Railway at Union Mills (under new management) or have I missed one already?

Now your on my specialist subject, Crosby, Highlander (restaurant)? Glen Helen, Kirk Michael one? Raven, Sulby Hotel, Ginger Hall, two going through Ramsey, Creg, then if you finish THE BEER TENT! ( no more buns and tea in the supporters club tent due to no "space" superstars only)

I've been to quarterbridge, not the railway yet. The Crosby was good, with a great place for the boys to play outside and the park over the road is great, don't do it when the roads are closed. The Highlander food was better.
The Glen Helen was the first night Jo and myself 'went out' so will always hold a place close to my heart. It still looks like a ski hotel from a Bond film in the 70's but that was fine.
Not been to the Raven.

of course the Sulby Glen. What can we say? I did the early morning bus with Helen the Witch a few years ago and we stopped for breakfast there, with Roy Hanks and Dave Wells ( THE Dave Wells) talking us round the lap. I think Roy said it was all Dave's fault, and Dave just gave that knowing glance that newcomers need now about drivers

We went to the Creg at Easter when it was snowy. There must be more?

The Mitre in Kirkmichael is the site of the memorial seat to Dave Savile... was excellent food last time I was there, but places here change hands all the time, so I don't know now.
The Swan in Ramsey was good last year, but I've never sampled the one on the other side of the road.
The Ginger Hall is great... Gary Compsty, who runs it, is a sidecar man , and there's good food, excellent beer and a roaring fire on a cold day. Think I might spend a day there at TT time...

Has Ray retired then from the Railway?

[Jo Warriner]

You mean the Hawthorn, not the Highlander Steve.

[steve-e]

I do! It's on the left and not shutdown

What about the Wagon & Horses.

[Helen Gibson]

Been a private house for many years... Rupert Murden lives there... stepfather to Johnny Barton..

[kew]

I had a drink there 2 years ago when we broke down.
OK, it wasn't exactly a pub.

[kew]

What about the Ballacraine Hotel?

[Helen Gibson]

Kew, that hasn't been a pub for many many years.. lol . it became an interior designers shop, but now it's a house.
And... before you say it...
The Highlander was a steak house for a bit, but has been turned into a house in the last year or so...
You're not getting out enough!

[sidecarcop]

or didn't break down enough

[kew]

OH NO, I'm running out of places to have a pint.
