Boaters Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 On the radio ,Prince Charles will visit the White Horse community pub and shop in UPTON today. It was said he is partial to Pork Scratchings and the spokes man said they would sell him a packet ,but he would have to pay as they give nothing away ! Would you ask him for the cash ? He said it has been very successful and I wonder if more pubs could go down this path ?

NorfolkNog Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Thanks for the heads up Roy. I wonder if he'll take Camilla in for a g and t Superb pub and an example of how it can be done (free from the nasty pubcos of course) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boaters Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 His visit reported at the end of article,Charles got a loyalty card and met a drinker who has used the pub for seventy years ! He must have spent enough to buy the pub himself http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/prince_of_wales_receives_medal_during_swanton_morley_regimental_visit_1_4428484 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Here's a picture of Charlie Boy (nicked from Twitter) pulling a pint at Upton. Shame he ignored the two fine local beers to the left and chose the ubiquitous Wherry, Bet Woodfordes are rubbing their hands. Still it could have been worse, at least he ignored the even more tasteless Greene King IPA Wonder what Camilla had? A Pimms perhaps? Or even a half of Stella ( heaven forbid) But seriously though good to see HRH recognising the success of this excellent community pub which hopefully can act as an inspiration to others as to what can be achieved 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Looks like HRH was certainly enjoying himself! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boaters Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Nice one Gracie,I remember some thirty years ago we went in for the first time when "Winkle " was. Landlord and was not to be seen ,when a voice wafted from the cellar " get yourselves a drink ,I'll be up soon " which we did and our son stood on a chair to join in the darts.Good times.! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
