As if Twitter, Facebook, the newsletter and just visiting the pub weren’t enough opportunities to experience the full and unflinching force of our banality, we’ve decided to create a blog!
We weren’t sure about this bit as there’s already plenty of Bank-ness out there and, frankly, the idea of giving Sam the ability to let loose his thoughts on the internet worries us a little, but we thought we’d go with it. Everyone here will be blogging at some point so it’ll give a slightly more open forum for all of us here to play with, and for you to have a quick look every now and again.
We’ll try to keep it as interesting and amusing as possible, though this is by no means guaranteed, and hope to make it a little more interactive as time goes on. For the time being however, these are the thoughts (however few they may seem) of the Bank Tavern Collective.
This is the first ever blog I've written. It feels odd. I feel as though I should tell you about something personal like a recent date (remind me to tell you the carbonara story at some point) or something interesting about the pub. Instead, let's just rejoice and give a collective "that's nice" for the fact that the site is now workin!!! (ish)
Oh - Ben wants me to tell you that his beer of the moment is Northern Star. I'll let him wax lyrical about it later.
We're still working on a few things on the website and at the pub at the moment, but we're nearly there. We were thinking about putting off the grand opening but we'd already booked the jugglers.
With just a bit more touching up (in a good way) we'll be finished, the current look is pretty sharp though...
