Do they soak the bread in the coffee or cook the bacon in it? [:D]

I called them on this on facebook as they mentioned the deal on there and their reply was - come try it an see. They are certainly trying hard with the marketing.

I had a couple of pints in here on Saturday. They have a limited edition Brain's Bitter on at present, brewed especially for the Six Nations - a lovely pint and an absolute bargain at just £2.50.

Yes, I understand the Blackbirds has been liaising with CAMRA and promoting real ale. I'm pleased to hear you had a good pint at a great price. It's seems like such a young, vertical-drinking sort of place that I would not have expected them to turn over much cask ale. I look forward to seeing a few old Real Ale beardies clutching their tick lists to their beer guts and queuing outside with all the half-dressed teenage girls on a Saturday night! It'll be like a scene from the old Viz comic strip, The Real Ale Tw4ts [:)]

[:D] I know what you mean. Whilst running a nightclub venue with a real ale bar annexed to it, I was serving row of tickers on a Sunday afternoon, when in walked the now defunct band "Rockbitch",(look them up on youtube if you dare)seeking to be booked for a gig and dressed (or mainly not) as in their stage shows. Much fine ale was spat in surprise through beards and down the front of chunky Arun sweaters. I'd expect the scene you describe may also cause some soiling of unfashionable knitwear.

They are not advertising that they are doing breakfasts - is there really a need for this?

Is there a need for anywhere to sell breakfast when I can make it at home?

Is there a need for anywhere to sell lunch when you can make it at home? Is there a need for anywhere to sell dinner when you can make it at home? Is there a need for anywhere to sell water when you have a tap at home? Is there a need for anywhere to sell greetings cards when you can make them at home? Is there a need for anywhere to sell fruit if you can grow it at home? The list can go on....and on....... A pointless argument.
