Aye the estate. But I used to head to the white hills pub regular as my uncle lives around the corner. Lovely pub that like. Grub looks nice and the people were canny last time I was in. (6 month ago).

It needed it the last time I was in there.
Another pub that is a pale shadow of its glorious 1980s past.

6 o clock start on a Friday in there on pool before hitting the street, ending up in Togos/Crocks in the heady 80's.Great times. Remember queuing up at 10 to get into the red lion, place is shut now...It needed it the last time I was in there.

same mate, when got a bit fed up of Chester, headed for Durham, coach & eight, fighting cocks, market tavern..had some mental nights over there.Worst trouble ever seen was in fighting cocks..even bar staff joined in, was like the wild west.

Fighting cocks was always like that - why they had a pool table in there other than to provide additional weapons I have no idea.

Was in the Market Tavern, Horners, Queens Head and The Butchers last Satda night after the match, enjoyed it as normally drink at the top end. Still a decent night for a steady away drink, probably shite for young'uns chasing skirt though.

Loved reading through this thread. I used to be out in CLS every Friday between 1990 and 1993.

Depending on which bands are playing, there can sometimes be a decent turnout in the Lambton- usually if it's a punk or ska band.
As you say all four of the old Lambton rooms used to be packed on a Friday...even the Cavaliers for the more refined Chester drinker.
You would have had all the 'Fab Four' if you'd mentioned upstairs in The Neville.
