Sam Smiths pubs

Sounds fantastic, pity Carlisle is in the back of beyond....

If we had a pub like that anywhere near me I'd probably be in there 3 or 4 times a week. Instead we have an awful Weatherspoons that charges similar sums for a pint, or other nicer ones which charge double (or more) than that for generally poor beers.

 

A friend of mine was Humphrey's chauffeur at one time, he often had to pick him up in the early hours and take him on a tour of pubs where he'd go through the wheelie bins in his suit looking for evidence of landlords buying stock from elsewhere. He took him to one pub and he wanted the manager to explain to him why his pub was above average in toilet roll use, jokingly the manager said ' I'd use a lot less if I wasn't selling your beer'... Humphrey sacked him.

 

When living in Barnsley, frequented the Sam Smith's pub in Higham, Engineers Arms. Great dart board and pool table plus an excellent pint. You could try it out but perhaps without your phone.

 

Quite a few of us went in there. (around 35) . In from 5:30 - 6:15. Then went to rugby club. To meet up with Arabian Ian.
Sam's sell all their own brands. Brown bear in Sheffield one of our old haunts. I think it's still open..

You can't use your mobile phone, tablet, or laptop, no music and if you swearing audibly you'll be asked to leave. Opening and closing hrs are strictly adhered to. Get there in time afore the shutters go down.
Absolutely love Taddy's lager.

I think the nearest to me is/was in Derby near the river to the north of the city, in an old monastery building (The Abbey, sadly closed now). Been a couple of times but its a good 15 miles from us, so not staggering distance. I liked the Swan and 3 Cygnets in Durham City centre.

 

Also known as ale to make you **** for Britain.

 

Had a great time in the Princess Louise, Holborn, the day before the JPT final; not sure how we actually made it to Wembley the next day.

 

Spread eagle at wragby was a lovely pub until they shut it

 

Apparently his sons worse than him

Brilliant idea. There is enough pubs and bars for people wanting to watch TV, be ignorant on their phone every 2 seconds and listen to music.

 

**** beers, **** pubs, owned by a **** owner.

I've dealt with him in a professional capacity, difficult to say the least. I'll say no more.

 

Growing up on the Ayingerbrau lager in the Burlington WMC in Wath made you a man

 

Spent a lovely couple of hours in the princess Louise last month, although expensive it’s a excellent pub

Tried a couple in another Sam Smith’s pub last weekend, The Plough Inn Whitby

The Organic lager they sell is well worth a try

 

I could be wrong, but I don't think Humphrey has any children, I think the next in line may be a nephew. There was a site I used to go on called samsmiths.info that was a site used by disgruntled employees etc to air their grievances... Humphrey went to court to get it shut down but failed. On seeing this thread I had a look for it but it seems to have moved to X Twitter which I'm not on.

 

Called Samuel smith I believe

 

Yep. Lundwood club same. I was in Magpie as well last night..like a time warp...

 

When my brother and I used to do crawls in London, either when we both lived there, or now when we visit, we would pop into one on Marylebone high street.

On my recent visits, we have stayed overnight in Richmond upon Thames on the night before I fly back, as it's an easy run to Heathrow the next morning.

We always pop into one on the banks of the Thames, which has the atmosphere, and as many living things, as a morgue.

 

Humphrey Smith is an absolute buffon he doesn't care about his managers or staff the sooner he's out the better
