Pub Report: The Angel, Soho

haha, this report was done months ago, but then the dog ate it. and with a sleeping baby, i will now attempt to stick it up again. Good timing what with the death of the dartboard in the new IC "cafe".

One thursday long long ago, an expedition was mounted from the mighty dneg on behalf of the Selecta. Expeditionaries (or expediters, i'm not sure) were Bags, Kenergy, Houses, and yours truly, the mighty Crisp.



The pub is conveniently located somewhere beyond soho, near Centre Point. When we were there it was lunchtime, and there was a jolly total of 4 people there, barman included. Our initial impression was that the beers on offer were slightly odd, but the plethora of crisp flavours more than made up for this mishap. 4 pints of Samuel Smiths Bitter and 8 packs of crisps later, we went to find the board. And what a location! Right beside the jacksy. Oh well, there did seem to be a huge array of trophies above the board (i think the notice board showed their team played in a league on a tuesday), and a weird poster with their in-house B-Team and their ridiculous names - Martin Spearchucker and so on. Amateurs.


After a bit of nearest the bull, the teams became Bags and Crisp vs Houses and Kenergy. What can only be described as a lacklustre 501, 45 dart finish, with Bags finishing on a Madhouse. Although if you look closely, there was a huge crisp-fueled 113 in there, two triple 18s and a 5 which was dangerously close to triple 20... this throw shall henceforth be known as a "full crisp", as that is what i was when i threw it - the others wussed out after about 6 crisps each so i polished off the rest myself. Good old Brannigans, you can't fault them for trying, but that ham and mustard flavour just tries too hard.

Anyway, as you can see from jeff's checklist, this was all the necessary criteria examined and appraised, resulting in a whopping 7 out of 10 for the Angel. Solid.
