Nags Head
The time: Wednesday evening. The place: The Nags Head. To anyone who has not been a party to the human quick sand at the bar, or who has completely missed the enticing triples for singles offer on spirits (now including Baileys), where have you been? Despite the small size of the venue, and its [...]
Oscar’s
Once you’ve managed to find Oscars, tucked away in the obscurely located Little Stonegate road, the first thing that you’ll notice is the inviting ambiance. Oscars was originally a set of attractive Victorian cottages converted to their current function, small and generally full but well kept. Normally a fair few tourists and families frequent in [...]
The Go Down
The Go Down is secreted just off Clifford Street, windows looking out at the Gallery and Fiesta Mehicana. Though this doesn't sound like the most salubrious of starts, the entrance is at the side, and as the name suggests, you have to go down a short flight of stairs to get to the floor of [...]
Packaged Pies
Having scoured Costcutters for pies other than Fray Bentos, we chanced upon the Tindale & Stanton Chicken and Mushroom Family Pie. Seeing the word ‘family’, we thought “great, whatever this pie lacks in quality will surely be made up for in quantity”. However, we were grossly deceived. “Fools!” we hear you cry. “What did you [...]
Kwik Save – Simply the Chicken and Vegetable Pie
Not only do these pies look unbelievably cute in their individual little tin casings, but they also taste surprisingly good. I was slightly distressed by them being advertised as the “perfect snack or even a main meal”, as one pie could not possibly keep your hunger locked up for more than twenty minutes. However, as [...]
Vanbrugh- Chees and Onion Pasty
Having unsuccessfully searched high and low for a vegetarian pie on campus, we finally settled for Vanbrugh’s cheese and onion pasty. The valiant attempt on the part of the pasty makers to shy away from convention by using filo-pastry was not a success. Equally, the attempt to convince the consumer that what they are eating [...]
Fray Bentos – Curry Pie
If you can get past the smell of farmyard which greets you as you open the oven, and actually manage to put this abomination to your lips, your valiant efforts will be rewarded by the desire to retch. Fray Bentos’ chicken and curry pie looks like a combination of stomach lining and dog food, and [...]
The Morning After
Flora Bradwell, Danusia Borucka, Debbie Kinsey and Chris Eldridge went in search of hangovers, and then their cures…
Busted, A Present for Everyone
After only a day in the studio, Busted have created an album more punk than the ripped t-shirt Sid Vicious died in.
Raw, biting guitars and drumming which sound like hoards of death dogs castrating vibrating rhinos, “A present for everyone” sounds more discordant than a fish trying to play Mingus. Those ominous tones that [...]
