The Boot in Liscard had this service in their back room.They also had an off licence that sold draught beer to take out.You could get it in glass gallon demi-johns,half a crown deposit and less than ten bob for the beer!Those were the days,'60s obviously.

The beer is nice but the landlady is a real right harridan! Oh, she's alright. Rather fond of her, actually  By the way, the Stork has a happy hour from 4 to 7 where the ale is 1.75 a pint. Good for a pint or two after work.

The red lights where outside, blue above the tables.

Come yourself,
Don't send Jesus,

We used to go to the Egremont Ferry in the late 70's / early 80's and they had a bell service there, and the best pint of Higsons bitter you ever tasted.
