  • Flat roof pubs

    I'd watch the hell out of a documentary series about boozers on old estates https://t.co/sveW2Ptl5d


    Great Twitter thread, I’m sure we can get some mileage out of this ….. who wants to open the batting?

      That's a great Twitter thread.

      Only flat roof pub I recall sitting on the roof and drinking was the Three Arches back in the 80s.

      Not really fitting into the genre of pub though.

          The Master Gunner in Gabalfa fits the bill just about.

            The Jockey in Shameless was the epitome of one. The Retreat, Pennsylvania and The Murrayfield/Grand Slam would be decent Cardiff candidates.

                    As an aside, I remember not long after the 'Gunners' had been built, watching the cannon (focal point of the pub) arriving on a low-lowder.

                    Ask me what I had for breakfast this morning and I probably wouldn't be able to tell you!

                        Is The Greyhound in Pentrebane one?
                        There used to be one in Southmead in Bristol (now a Tesco Express) called something like ‘Pride of England’.
                        It was a horrible place, with some well dodgy looking geezers outside.
                        Every time I drive past when it was closed, there’d be an empty can of Natch cider, which is popular delicacy in those parts. 😁

                            I think it was the Standard, it’s featured in the thread

                              Yes Master Mariner. The only one in Barry I can think of with a flat roof.
