wendyredredrobin Posted March 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Used to go to the glasshouse as a teenager, but the regulars could be quite aggressive. Have vague recollections of the Sawyers though, also from many years ago and my memories are of it being more of a local, old fashioned pub. But I like decent beer, so am probably going to give it a shot (Which is more than City will probably get). Hoping we can scrape a point from this one, but we really need 3. I dont know the Moorend at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Definately the Sawyers Arms. Best traditional pub in Nailsea but with Sky! Get there early to find a seat. It gets very busy on a Friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to do cracking doorstep sized sandwiches Yes, unfortunatly a couple of years ago the landlord passed away but luckily his daughter and her chap have taken it on, even done a bit of renovation work. Nice food on theme nights etc and obviously the cider is the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 You could go home and watch it with a sky pass - Carling have a offer where you get a free days sky sports, so buy some Carling (i know but it's better than nothing) invite some people around and enjoy. *Free day passes with packs of Carling You can get a free day pass with promotional packs of Carling in the supermarket. Not all packs have the offer – it should be clear on the case – but you should be able to pick up on crates larger than 10 cans. The code will be located on the inside of the box or wrapper, so don’t throw it away! You can redeem your code until 30th June 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 I lived within walking distance of the Blue Flame. Since the landlord passed away his daughter took it over but it hasn't changed much. Still two front rooms.....but if you want a decent of cider that's the place.

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted March 15, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Blue Flame is the best pub in Nailsea, a proper pub, in one way I wish I lived nearer, in another I'm glad I don't or else I'd end up being one of the glassy eyed regulars.....

It's not actually in Nailsea. It's about two miles out on the Clevedon Moor road or West End Lane if you prefer. Unless you live within easy walking distance as I used to,the problem is the car.......unless you go with mates with a Des. The car park is tiny and bogs prehistoric and always reminded me of the Ninian Park away toilets but it's still a great place for a few pints.

Pound Lane Red Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Out of interest when did the Friendship cease to be? My parents used to frequent it back in the early 80s. Looked like it had been converted last time I passed by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 The blue flame always reminds me of this place. Don't go there on a full moon a relative of mine just planted 80 odd apple trees on the moors somewhere to produce his own cider. I came up with a good name for it, moor cider...
