A quiz to kick off World Cup fever
Tomorrow night kicks off the start of the World Cup fever in The Druids Arms with a quiz and the drawing of the sweepstake.
Two of our regulars will be hosting the quiz, they have devised the questions and the format, so it should be... exciting! It’s an on paper affair with 30 questions on world cup trivia, there will also be a couple of bonus rounds with one being - in true Pools style - Spot the Ball!
In the break of the quiz I will be drawing the sweepstake.
We will be running our Sticker Swap Shop if anyone is collecting the FIFA Panini Stickers, bring them along too.
It’s all a bit of fun, get here for 7:30pm to take part.

Nice Weather for Airstrikes Live Music Festival
Just after you thought that the Brighton Festival Fringe is coming to an end and you’d seen all the live music that you could because you’ve been to The Great Escape....
FEAR NOT!
We’re just sorting out the last minute preparations for our Nice Weather for Airstrikes Records Festival which takes place over 28 -31 May
Nice Weather for Airstrikes have been drinking in the pub for a long time, you may know them, and last year they came to us with the idea of putting live music on during the Brighton Festival Fringe, we obliged and we now host a very successful festival. This year we have even been shown interest from Local brewery Dark Star who are making us our own ale for the event (news to come about this later this week).
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday see the best in the local post-rock scene come and toe tap and do the monster shuffle from 8pm till 1am (with DJ’s till 3am).
The festival has grown and is now four days long, the Bank Holiday Monday is now an all day soundscape and acoustic stage with the music starting from 3pm.
In our opinion the main bands to get down for are: Codes in the Clouds on the Sunday and Shapes Saturday night. Friday night sees Last Days of Lorca headline who are firm favourites in the pub.

1000 Origami Cranes
As some of you may or may not know we have been making origami cranes in the pub.
Hollie our Assistant Manager set a challenge to the customers and the staff to make 1000 cranes before Christmas---
And we did it!
The idea behind it lies in Japanese legend, 1000 cranes are often given as a gift whereby a wish is then granted by crane. This is done for many things, such as a new baby, a newlywed couple, or when a girl turns 13 as a matchmaking charm.
So armed with 1000 sheets of origami paper, and instructions to make a paper crane, which you can find here, we set about it. Just a few went up at ffirst, people were having crane-offs where they were challenging each other to see who could make the quickest crane.
IT WAS CRAZY!
Anyway, after another 1000 sheets of paper ordered (yup that's 2000 in total) we finally had 1000 origami paper cranes up on the ceiling on December 17th. It looked amazing, you almost couldn't see the ceiling in some places.
We need a new idea, something that people would like to do in the pub, but a little bit different. If you have an idea come in and let us know!
Sunday Roast at a Brighton Pub
We have a new Sunday roast kitchen starting this Sunday.
Catering company 'CD Catering Company' (voted best local caterers 08/09 - Digest Magazine, and who cater kitchens at both The Eddy, and Sussex University) will be providing the delectable Sunday Roast and oh my it looks good!
Not only do the choices sound amazing, rosmary and thyme leg of lamb, pan seared duck breast, all their meat is free-range and locally sourced. There are at least 6 postions of vegetables varying from creamy wholegrain mustard leeks to cinnamon & chilli infused butternut squash.
Vegetarian options rotate and they are starting with a smoked sun dried tomato, spinich and pine nut roast served with a red wine gravy.
If you're not feeling the roast there is also a limited menu of pub classics, such as meat and bean enchilada and Italian Meatballs.
There will also be a variety of homemade puddings and tea and coffee for 'afters'
The roasts start at £7.95 and go up to £8.50 for specials. There is a £2 discount for NUS and a discount of £1 for any roast bought between midday and 2pm for a limited time.
Hi Everyone!
I would just like to make this first post (aside from the test post, of course) a welcome post to everyone that comes here.
We are a mediumish (we have no garden, just the outside area at the front) pub looking over The Level on Ditchling Road. We serve a wide range of drinks including the usual ciders, largers, ales and so on. What we have is a lovely selection of spirits on our back bar, which we like to sup on occasionally ;)
Food, we do Thai cuisine 7 days a week from 5pm - 10pm. Pokky our chef is fantastic and everything is made in-house and our main dishes and soups are cooked to order. We also do a Sunday roast, we actually have a new chef starting this weekend and word on the street is he is fantastic. But you'll have to find out for yourselves.......
