Heppy's brings back fond memories of The Kalahari Bushmen on Monday nights at Balne Lane club back in the mid-sixties. Great entertainment. Also fish,chips and mushy peas in his cafe on Warrengate.

Steak Canadian and chips.

Pie and mushy peas at his cafe on warrengate,called in every week on my way in to town from Eastmoor. :

If I remember right Heppy's got round the licensing laws by serving food to stay open after 11 pm. The entry fee included burger and chips which even a greedy B like me found inedible.

You could get great fish and chips or steak and chips if you paid extra. I had my 21st bash in Heppys with around a dozen mates. big scrap broke out ,some lads from Donny if I remember tossed a bottle of vinegar at us, anyway Ernie Field who was a bouncer at the time and i knew him well sorted em out for me

Correct he did. Heppy was a great bloke, my dads best mate and lived a few houses away up to his death. He had more stories about that place than Jackanory. Only ever went in with family for Fish and Chips for dinner. By the time I started going up town, it was knows as a bit of a grab a granny place, so never really bothered with it on a night.

Heppy was just slightly before my time really

My Dad though mentions good nights though with the Kalahari Bushmen, Tony Costello on piano etc.

Going back to the Westgate thread, yes I am starting to re discover Westgate after a few years living abroad, and kids now starting to grow up a bit now

Heppy's was usually the spot you went when you couldn't get into Tiffs, which was more often than not, just in Tiffs you got a better class of bird or battle scars in Heppy's, I got both

only in my late 40's now but remember my Parents going to town with friends used to go to Theatre Club, or Mecca/Lacarno, Heppys and on some odd occasions Dolly Greys
also went to a place in Alverthorpe where my Dads mate was a bouncer, but i cant remember the name of that place seemed odd place to have a nightclub to me at that time.

That was the Chiarascuro- had some great nights there

Used to go there in the 70's. If I remember right it was 50p to get in and that included some 'food'.
We used to walk back to Ossett over Low Laithes. If we saw any cars with 'courting couples' in we used to go over and start rocking the car till faces appeared at the steamy windows.
Was young and daft in those days. Just daft now.

I love hearing tales from really old people!

Didn't they have to sell food as part of some licencing requirement? Intercon/Raquels was same where you got chicken and chips as part of the entry ticket.
Remember similar with Sunday Rugby. You paid for a programme (Team Sheet really) at the turnstiles and got free entry.
