pickwicks

[rab_c.]

pickwicks bar is our fav watering hole up in the europa great prices no ghettoblasters drowning out your banter.
and run perfectly by Carla and Pete mine hosts.
if in the area give them a visit you willbe made most welcome and the humour from this pair will keep you laughing the full evening

rab.c.

[K T]

Couldn't agree more Rab. Michele and I will be popping in when we're over in mid Jan. Can't come quick enough.

[MacTaliy]

Pickwick's bar will be awaiting your visit with plenty of drink!
Thanks for the comments.
Looking forward to all your visits again for a few beers and a giggle!:boozy:
We've been at Pickwick's Bar in the Europa for a year now, have so many return visitors. It's great, we got regulars, visiting often more than twice a year.
The humour comes naturally.... with the stress of me :bronwen: and Peter :kma:putting up with each other..ha ha!:laugh:

Looking forward to seeing all of our old friends(even if a couple do bog off to Fuerte!) and the new friends we've still to make.
Best Wishes to you all for 2006
Carla and Peter

[jonjboy]

hi carla, see you on the 29th,give our regards to peter. john/wendy.:boozy:

[MacTaliy]

Look forward to seeing you again John and the lovely Wendy, bet you're glad to get away from the snow!( watch out for low flying scooters!)

Was a beaut of a day in PR, not that we really saw much!!:sleep:
Have had some very late nights at the bar lately, with a few forum members too( will remaim nameless!!!) We've discovered large shots called Dr Pepper's a little while ago.............. super!
Looking forward to more fun, scooter rides(all the rage here at the mo, Santa must have got a job lot!) and Dr Pepper's! over rest of the holiday season.

[shortie]

Discovered Pickwicks too late in our holiday, we had committed ourselves to too much else, but in May we will target pickwicks, so watch out you 2. Gonna turn up sober next time as well.
Our favourite bar already after just 1 visit.
Carla and Peter, lovely people that entertain you non stop just by being themslves.
Thanks guys, See you soon
Shortie and Jules.:banana: :D

[libbyo]

Nice bar. We eventually made it up to the Europa last night. We Will be back.

rab_c.

[MacTaliy]

Thanks............ entertaining Shortie? always some entertaining drama.... a comedy of errors!?
Dasterdly and Mutley, Butch and Sundance,Vera and Jack......... now Carla and Peter!
Always end up having a laugh,that's thanks to the great folk we get in the bar, great mix of people.
(Sorry about the Pedro III Libbyo........ but you could have tried the Smiths he he he!)......... Just remembered, forgot to get you to sample the DrPeppers.......... Next time.
Where'd that pic come from............... too many shots I'd say!!!
Pint of bacardi/cola cooling nicely for you Stringy!

[tarzan]

never been myself, but i hear it's not bad

[2-islandangie]

Will def. go there next time we go through to PR. Will just have to remember the winding road home!LOL

[askimref]

Is Grumps ( nickname ) by the resident bar owners in the center, still the owner, I remember him when he used to have the london pride. Europa Center,many years ago

[MacTaliy]

GRRrrr............. indeed not and hasn't been for 14 months now.

[Chloe Leigh]

i have to agree that pickwicks is great! i love to chill in there and very often meet people we know in there.....got well and truly hammered on sambucca shots last week...carla, please hide the bottle from russ!!!
lol x

[shez]

:boozy: Hi Carla and pete, just want to say thanks for your hospitality at Pickwicks. We met some very good mates from the forum there , including yourselves.Next time we visit , Shez promises to keep her BRA on . lol. See you all soon.

Shez and Pete xx:thumb:

[russ]

cant agree more about pickwicks.
carla is by far the friendliest bar maid in the europa and her tendency to leave a bottle of sambuca on the bar in front of me is great but does have some draw backs as anyone who went to the meet up in hotspot may have noticed lol

cheers russ

p.s oh and bloody good prices aswell and u can smoke in there.

[2-islandangie]

Want to come through before we go back to the UK but Ron will really have to pace himself if he is going to make the journey home - Don't tell him I said that though!!!! PS Ron reckons you remind him of a film star - I don't know whether it was the drink lol!!!!

[shortie]

I like those Dr Pepper things, but they never used to get me drunk when I was a kid. Must be getting old!!!:confused:

[MacTaliy]

Can I just thank you all for your very kind words, really appreciate it folks. We really do have a great bunch of good people who frequent the bar.
Thanks.:blush:
Shortie, don't think you were yet shown the way to 'Amaretto' the Dr Pepper, when you wis a kid!
Ron,Ron,dear dear Ron!:bronwen: Nose too big, mouth too big,etc,etc too big... well it worked for Sophia L, Angie!!
Shez and Peter, charming couple........ but my Peter not too happy about the keeping the bra on, haha!
Tarzan, the Europa like a ghost town???... your ghost must get about a bit, sure it drank us dry of Smir Ices the other night!
Andi , yer a wee stoater...I got the Buckfast!.....and Russ, a right pair o' crackers...encouraging me into alcoholic bad habits , thanks for the laughs and banter guys you really cheer me up.
Thanks too, to all our customers, for the great fun and atmosphere.

[rab_c.]

Where'd that pic come from............... too many shots I'd say!!!
Pint of bacardi/cola cooling nicely for you Stringy!

thanks mac please mind the ice. morgans spiced heading your way soon http://www.whisky-online.com/acatalog/rum-morgan-botsm-1141.jpg

rab_c.

[MacTaliy]

Oh no..another who'll raid my Morgan's Cupboard! hey more to the point, gettin' posh noo........... I got a bottle o' Buckie!!! saving it for weekend. oh, that's today!Great! might be deserting my post for a sing song, out wi the karaoke machine....or watch oot Angelo:laugh:

[John]

Can't believe that no one has mentioned this great bar for over a month now. :confused:


We've just got back, and the welcome is just as warm - providing that Peter hasn't got one of his "headaches" - then it's advisable to wisper your order!

Elvis has even been known to drop by for a "wee snifter"

They have now introduced a late bar snack menu - just the thing to cure an attack of the late night munchies. They're doing hot dogs, scotch pies, quiche, bacon sarnies, and cheese pockets, which are great.

Thanks for all your hospitality folks - may you have a good summer, and - we will return.

All the best ,
John + Emma

Seeya soon xx

[JPM]

I'm looking for some advice for two young people who have been in Puerto Rico looking for work in bars/hotels etc. with no success for three weeks now. Is the tourist trade slow to pick up this year? Or are there vacancies that anyone could suggest?

Thanks,

JpM

[mary]

It is quiet this year apparently although reports from maspalomas say they are busier. Tell them to keep knocking.
I met a girl who arrived on the island and got a job after 3 days on Amadores. She must have been in the right place at the right time

[MacTaliy]

JPM, I'm afraid things are quiet, every year it seems to be getting slightly worse, hope the cycle ends and things begin to turn around soon.... We went to Tenerife for a few days last week, and everyone we met there said exactly the same.... so be careful when coming out to get work, make sure you have enough money to see you through a few weeks, while you search. It is a matter of being in the right place , as Mary says, and getting to know people here, who can give you some leads.

Great news Shez and Pete, can't wait to see you both again,will see what we can do about LEN for Christmas!!!
Had quite a night last night with Shortiehttp://www.smileyhut.com/hair/punk.gif, Jools and co. over.
Having a mini (mini cause no RabC squad over!!!) ratpack 'do' with the ones who are here on tuesday, so if you are in the area folks, do join us.
Lucky you Andi having a quiet time during the football, we had quite a crowd in, a lot of people found us as they enjoyed watching in comfort and had a laugh, chat... and a whinge!! without the headbanging music and noise... hope it's the same and another victory on Thursday...

i've just been looking through the forum and great joy Pickwick's has made it into someones top 5 bars thanks Jon :ph34r:

[K T]

My nephew his wife and young kid have just returned from The Gloria Palace. He told me he was in Pickwick's 4 nights of each week and that he really enjoyed himself. He was telling me he asked Carla if Pickwick's used to be called 'Whole of the Moon' or something like that. He could remember his Dad taking him there as a young lad, back in the eighties.
He said to say Hello Carla....So Hello Carla, from Duart, Louise and Little Daniel.

K T

[magpie]

when out in 1994 we drank in the bar called man in the moon ,which i think was in the same place as pickwicks, the owner was called as i remember was stan the man he was from leicester he was a bulider , he
heard after that that he was ill and had to return to the uk.:ph34r: . while we were out in feb 06 the children couldnt stay in the bar {pickwicks} as the rule is either kids or smoking, not a problem to us as our kids are old enough to go in the amusements , so still like to go in because it is a good relaxing bar and pete and carla are always welcoming , in the summer it is not much of a problem as it is warm on the nite ,but in the winter it can get a little chilly to sit outside , still be back in in feb07 just give the kids a few euro to go in the amusements.

[bfrank]

HI Magpie it seems that kids can sit in smoking bars with parents consent
confusing Spanish law!!!!
It was called the man in the moon about 11yrs ago owned by Stan the man.

See you this time next week Haggis & all :nodding:

BigBaz&Co

[rab_c.]

heres a little info here carla http://www.westons-cider.co.uk/acatalog/
we often have a scrumpy jack when in palma nova and that is supposed to be similiar to stowford press so it has to be a dry cider seen the new one advertised think its on the shelfs in sainsbury stowford with a taste of raspberry called kiss.
rab_c.

[BIG TONY]

Hi Carla,
Stowford Press cider is brewed up in Herefordshire by the Weston family. It's a crisp refreshing drink obviously served best well chilled. Although it is brewed about 70 miles from where I live in Cardiff, the last pint I had was in the Algarve believe it or not. I remember it well as I was craving for a cold cider one night, we walked into a bar in Alburfuera and bingo there it was on draught, heaven !!
Turned out the bar owner was from Bristol and this was his favourite drink. Sat there for a few hours and staggered out later very very merry.
Here's the Weston's web-site for you to explore:-
www.westons-cider.co.uk (http://www.westons-cider.co.uk)

[MacTaliy]

Thanks for that lads, I had checked the website, but was looking for independent reviews, sounds good enough to me, Tony, thanks, will try it this week.... but have stashes of Magners bottles too ... just in case. It comes in small barrels so will be ok, and if all else fails... I'll drink it!!!

[kwheats]

might put a dint in you stash when me and the big baz get there
6 days and counting

Hi Carla

Yes I am still here <img>

If you are going to order from Westons, try the Vintage Reserve Cider. It's 8.2% but tastes wonderful <img> and no heartburn etc. Nearly as good as the Biddendens I brought over.

Booked the Boston Apartments at the weekend so see you on the 23rd December <img>

Hey the Wigster, how's it hanging???
Can only get Stowell Press, Wiggy from the suppliers, it's not actually from Weston's directly,until Magners back on.. sand 8.2!! too strong... would only sell a few before states of collapse!!!..... but got bottles of Kopparberg for one distinguished guest who knows his stuff, but not his bathing wear!!!
...and of course pint bottles of ~~Magners~~
See you on the 23rd then Wiggy, when's the tea party???
Rab.... d'you still get Babycham???
kwheats... hope you realize that will have emptied the fridge of everything else to make way for these bottles!!! so beware of irrate bottled beer drinkers!!!
See you all soon, looking forward to it!

Gettin there !!!!!!! 4 more sleep's :D

[BIG TONY]

Rab.
You can get Henry Westons SPECIAL RESERVE at Tesco. It comes in a brown bottle, absolutely deadly stuff !!!!!!!!!!!!!! (right up my street l.o.l.)

[rab_c.]

thanks big t.......def gonna try.
carla babycham is back big time in my area specialy with the underage teenagers drinking buckfast and babycham before the police catch them and confiscate the stuff lol. wonder if russ has tried it.
heres a little article I came across showing that they are trying to put it back to the top again. not sure but i think they call a cider whisky and babycham a snakebite in my area and i can see why it has some sting me!!!!!!!! i would call it a siberian mule as served correct it is very cold with a good kick.
right education over for today lol.

Babycham (Trade name) is a light, sparkling perry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perry) invented by Francis Showering, a brewer in Shepton Mallet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepton_Mallet) in Somerset (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somerset), England (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England). Launched nationally in the UK (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom) in 1953 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953), the drink was possibly the very first 'alcopop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcopop)', marketed with pioneering television (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television) advertisements (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advertisements) to appeal to women.
Popular through the 1960s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1960s) into the 1970s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970s), the brand's appeal waned with the rise of wine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine) and ready-mixed spirit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholic_beverage) drinks. The current owners are trying to reverse this, with some success, following the reinstatement of its leaping fawn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fawn) trademark (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark), a giant version of which used to adorn the Shepton factory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factory) where it is produced.
Possibly indicative of its status at the time, it appeared as the butt of many jokes in the 1993 BBC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC) comedy series The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer, suggesting that it was a suitable drink for babies. It is also referenced by several characters in the 80s TV comedy The Young Ones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Young_Ones_%28TV_series%29) . In addition it is referenced in the 1988 film "The Firm" (directed by Alan Clarke (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Clarke)) in which a football hooligan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_hooligan) jokingly tells his friend who is ordering drinks at the bar "Hey, I'll have a Babycham"
A particularly lowbrow (yet delicious) beverage can be made by using Babycham as a mixer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixer) for brandy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandy). The resultant "Brandy and Babycham (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brandy_and_Babycham&action=edit)" was particularly en vogue in Blackpool (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackpool) during the 1980s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980s).
Similarly, in central Scotland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotland), Babycham has in recent years been used as a mixer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixer) for the fortified wine Buckfast (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckfast). This potent blend is known as "Buckcham" or "Babyfast".
Babycham is also a Jamaican dancehall artist.
showing the buckfast trend in scotland

rab_c.

Hi Rab,

Yes it's Wiggythe chemist. Thought I'd shorten the name as eveyone calls me Wiggy anyway.

The Vintage reserve is sold on the Westons website as 12 x 500ml bottles for around £28 - not cheap but worth it. Never seen cans.

They do various ciders, scrumpys and perries in bottles and 3 and 20 litre boxes. If Pickwicks has got any of the Stowford Press left in December I'll definately be drinking it.

Cheers

Tony

Helloooo, it's late... got bottles of that kopper... whatever... not sure if it's what u said Baz... was pear cider...... we've none left!(burp)..... will get more for monday, it's smashing... not that I drank that much of it, cause folk kept buying it..... pint bottles of magners ok, still got some, stowford press ok too, but think the flugel shots got me.... just had cumberland sausage sarnies, yum....

[askimref]

I have been going to PR for many years and I must say Carla and Pete have made Pickwicks one of the nicest bars in PR,
great atmosphere they make everyone welcome, and so very cool with the air conditioning, all last week it was in the 30s outside but great inside, I can recommend it to any one.
It was really nice to meet a few members Big Baz -- -Big Craig---Brian and Chris, going to Pickwicks I met a former member Deedle Chorltons Mum ,
Plus I got to sign the famous Forum Members Book
So thanks to Carla and Pete for a great time and I am sure I will be back in the bar again next year.

[MacTaliy]

Thanks very much Askim, and BigCraig for the kind words, :ph34r:
but as I've said before, we really do get smashing visitors to the bar, so it makes for a great atmosphere in the bar anyway.http://forum.buffyworld.com/images/smilies/hug4.gif
Cheers for the Buckie! my mates are over this week, and so I've got another couple! A few Buckie shots are usually drunk during the evening! Seems a waste to use iot in the cocktails!!!
Baz and Mary, hope things are ok at home now, miss the Tayside Terrorish carry on!
We'll keep a few Dr Peppers, with bottles of Amaretto for u Shortie ...and JOOLS!!!
But... invented a new fruit saladish type one now, one day when shock horror the FLUGELS ran oot! It's really lovely!
Forgot Chorlton's mum, was Deedle, but she came racing in one night to say hi, didn't get a chance to chat much, but thanks, was lovely that you bothered to come in.
Hope to see you in march, then Craig, pity u not here now, we could've watched the match wi buckie and magners!
Thanks again, all of you for coming to visit and your comments.

Hi Everybody,
Just got back home:cry: after a great 2 weeks in Puerto Rico, and particularly Pickwick`s which I made quite a few visits to, and met some great people there (even Craig who unfortunately chose the wrong football team to support:p.) Always felt welcome there and would not hesitate in recommending a visit to anyone who is staying anywhere near the Europa Centre. Hopefully, I`ll be returning there at the end of the year

[bfrank]

I would like to thank everyone that came back to Pickwick's after the service yesterday a very fitting tribute to our mate.
Niel would have loved it..:thankyou: THANKYOU!!!
Hope to see you Thursday at Peurto Base 2:30pm we will say goodbye and scatter his ashes at sea as he wanted.....

If you do that I`ll be your friend for life:ph34r: It made the holiday even more enjoyable (if it`s possible to improve on waking up to blue skies every morning knowing that there`s another stress-free day awaiting.) Please pass on my regards to Craig and ask him to look at this and weep

It's a hard life being a Killie fan....Glory Glory Ayrshire Killie.... it would be great for a change to have an excuse to go on a bender, like they do!...... well, to be honest.......... George, me and Becky don't need an excuse I suppose!

Well a big thanks to Carla and Pete for a great time last week. Never had to lie in bed till 2pm hungover on holiday before. We dried out this week and tried a few 5 second pour voddie diet coke and sambuccas this weekend but it dont taste the same in sunny Essex. Looking forward to seeing you again very soon, hopefully November. Happy Easter everyone xx

[MacTaliy]

Glad you two had a great holiday and thanks for letting us be a part of it. we had a good time and a laugh too....as well as a few hangovers!!!
For all other forum people, this lady sums up what the forum is about, looking up and visiting places that people have recommended on this forum, and then making up your own mind on your holiday. They visited many of the places to eat and drink recommended by the forum gang here, how good a job is the forum doing, good on ya Owen!
We are very lucky to get so many really cool people who do find us, stuck around the back, through word of mouth and more and more from the forum.
Our guest usually have a good time with us, we get so many comeback visitors now over every few months(BAZ!!! not long now!!)
Just to let you know folks, we were closed for a few days for a bit of a clean up, new floor(looks great! Ta Dennis and Lee!) etc. Got a right nice bunch back over from Doncaster way, who have just told us off for being shut.....
So we were busy little soldiers opened up now, after another major clean , left our Baby Brian the Bairn to it for a bit till us oldies recover!
Hope to see a few more of you back soon...... bring your slippers for the new floor!(JOKE!)
Ta Baz, told Brian about your message for Cora.(she's a beaut, by the way, got her mum's looks.....thank goodness, not her Dad's!!!)
