I thought it was called GWR Park these days?
Be a good laugh I reckon.
I believe The Flash has some lederhosen, so he'd probably enjoy it  :)

Went to it twice when they held it on the Cricket Ground by County Ground, awesome beers, good food, music and all in all a decent night.

Been asked if they sell other drinks other than beer... I presume they would.

Cheers Batch, what would you expect to pay for various types of drinks


Title: Re: Oktoberfest Swindon
Post by: Batch on Tuesday, July 13, 2021, 17:02:04
struggling to remember. they did 2 pint steins. it's all a bit hazy.

Post by: Jimmy HaveHave on Tuesday, July 13, 2021, 17:02:56
Mind you I wouldn't want many of them 😀


Title: Re: Oktoberfest Swindon

right, we think beer prices were about 11-12ish for a 2 pint stein. a few more pounds if you a souvenir plastic stein to take home (1st drink only, obvs)

can only remeber beer, cider and soft drinks on sale, but don't quote us on that

may have 4 tickets for free tonight if nobody chains them elsewhere - seating

It was ok. Only stayed two hours. £12 for a 2 Pinter. Too many drunkards. God knows how they got in, but to be fair bouncers were on it. Not somewhere I would take the wife.

Bands were good.

A few blokes in lederhosen turned up at Biplob about 6.30pm absolutely smashed. They managed a round of beers and some poppadums before being asked to leave. The waiter had a pint spilt over him as they left, poor guy.

There were way too many that had loads. Like I said, it was ok but not my cup of tea. Maybe if I was 20...

last year was a good laugh, though I agree it was expensive on beer.

Shame it sounds like this was shit
