West Beers : Every Thursday @ The Lamb Brewery, W4 4PH

Queen Adelaide would mean something to me.
It's where I first met Dee and collected a forum cycling jersey.

Princess Victoria's great with argd outdoor space.

Old Ship on the river also good with lots of grass and picnic benches.
(cd rock up with tinnies even)

The football one opposite the Pie and Mash joint?

I don't think I've ever been in there. I've definitely been over the road to the Princess Vic or whatever it is for comedy night.

Old Ship

That might be the one we used before. Yeah, it's right near Black Lion.

I was thinking of this one:

Yea but green king cask ale isn't ideal

Yeah, that's the one I'm talking about. I've not been there but I've ridden past it 5000x.

I want to try the pie shop near it https://maps.app.goo.gl/FHzYjyq4C8v8XpP76

Agreed,
much sooner sup Fullers' ale

@Sifta and myself started the long '24 Summer of Sport at the (Fullers),
One over the Ait,
the day USA beat Pakistan on the ODI World Cup,
just on the north side of Kew Bridge.

I don't mind which Wests pub we GSIAD as long as it's east of Ruislip.

Will do my best

I once met up wth @hamrack on a Saturday afternoon for a drink at the Coy Carp in Harefield.
That 'Wests' was so far west it was Buckinghamshire!
We had strayed beyond the shire ditch that delineates the border between Bucks and the great (lost) county of Middlesex.

I'm not certain of any timings yet,
for either when GSIAD would be westernmost,
nor for when the Bridges Ride would at Kew.

@NorthLondonLight and myself met up with one of the last rides led by @|³|MA3K
before he finally jetted off to Aus on Kew Green.

Plenty of suitable pubs either side of Kew Bridge,
from the Express Tavern that has been a recent Wests venue,
the One over the Ait, and hose on the south side.

If the weather is looking not-shit then The Old Ship has space for a good bike pile and is reassuringly close to some bridges.

Edit: is there an echo in here? Consider this another vote for The Old Ship.

As organiser (yet to begin) of the bridges ride, I am watching this with interest....

Does it count that @scherrit and I have had drinks out near Newbury/Reading? :D

If you both cycled to the venue, sure.

One of us probably did :)

Is that as far out as the West's where we met @joel. for drinks in the pub with the 2nd longest name. The Land of Liberty Peace and Plenty. In old terms, being near Chorleywood, it's in Hertfordshire but falls short on Reading as furthest west. It even beats Artefood even though I'm certain we only ever consumed coffee.

Thanks for this reminder,
I forgot the LoLP&P meet up, further west and 3 of us!

The Coy Carp is tight on the River Colne, so several miles east of Chorleywood.

'Compass Drinks' doesn't necessarily imply alcohol, does it?
Perhaps @Oliver Schick can shed some light on the requirements?

@jdmitch and myself also had a separate Wests at the LoLP&P,
early one October.

I'm unlikely to take part in the full gsiad. However would be happy to ride to the Old Ship, the Raven, or princess victoria

Is 'your' Princess Vic the one on the Uxbridge Road?

Yup round the corner to the ex gray hound, which is appropriate
Good outdoor and bike pile space
Great beer. Inc timmy taylor

and I've not been there in ages, which means they might let me in...
