To boldly gourmet: Upin moving upwardly
According to the Evening Post article ‘Foodie’ facelift for student pub, another town centre watering hole is giving itself a makeover. In a bid to target more locals, the popular student pub Upin Arms is to go upmarket by offering gourmet steaks and burgers (21 types, allegedly), installing new seating and adding Frulis, Beck’s Vier and Staropramen.
It all seems rather like Oakford Social Club. Will students embrace the change or will they be up in arms over it?

Ooh, up in arms - Upin arms, I geddit lol. If it sold Flowers would it be the Lupin Arms?
Staropramen is pretty decent beer though - it’s so popular at one of my locals that the bar staff are way too used to serving it - one afternoon I was driving and somehow got a pint of the stuff after ordering Lemonade :-s
