Happy Jack Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 So ... after a gig at the Dog & Duck, what do you do? I've done the hamburger thing. I've done the kebab thing. Now? Well my favourite is Honey & Banana cake (carbs, sugar high, moist) but that's hard to get these days. So mainly it's Sainsbury's Ginger Cake.

casapete Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 In my younger days it was always a trip to a local Indian restaurant, probably spending most of my earnings from the gig. Then I went through a pizza phase. And now? Bug*er all, as I find in my advancing years that if I eat anything substantial late at night I will suffer a food hangover next day. Great getting old ain't it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonzodog Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 It was always a chicken tikka madras on way home when I was younger. Now by the time I've loaded the Pa back in the house it's a cup of tea and a bag of crisps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottomE Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Just a decaf coffee. Don't like to eat past 8pm. On a long distance gig i might pig out on some extra strong mints for the journey home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Good grief ! I remember 'The Plaza Cafe' in that area and the infamous greeting from the manager. (What a place that was). So do a few others by the looks of it. http://www.arrse.co.uk/community/threads/the-elusive-plaza-cafe-biryani-recipe.106596/ Edited June 12, 2016 by lowdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Generally a Yorkie Bar and a cup of black decaf coffee with honey in it, as I relax in front of Basschat. Quality way to wind down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Played a gig at the Midland Hotel in Mcr last night, we asked about food, they said "We'll be serving at about eight, so it'll be either the food or the match". We opted for the match, went to the reception desk at eight to ask where the match was being shown. "We don't have it on anywhere in the hotel, I'm afraid. Oh, and you've missed the food." So it was Maccy D's at two on the way home... :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Oh, and the Plaza? Yep, I'm a survivor of one of Charlie's Suicides. I still get flashcraps thirty years later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I miss those Nescafé self heating cans of coffee that seemed to be on sale for about a year. Very handy for a post gig caffeine shot before driving home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnythenotes Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 i Pack up, drive home, and hope that 'er in doors has treated herself to a takeaway and saved me a bit. I'm so hungry, and still buzzin' from the gig, I don't even reheat it, just guzzle it cold, swilled down with a suitably chilled bottle of Bud or Miller..... Second on the list is a few scoops of Ben and Jerries ice cream....just to get a bit of sugar back in my blood stream... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
