Basic Info:

Welcome to the Zeally
A very traditional pub, the walls are covered by a red worn-out tapestry and the floor is made of creaking parquet. It seriously needs refacing, but quarantine brought a stop to possible facelift work. A warm fire is lit into the fireplace and its light is reflected by polished chandeliers and large ceiling lights. Despite its general faded aspect, the floor is properly waxed and furnishings have been dusted off not long ago.
Comfy sofas and armchairs are located in the corners, and a piano covered by a massive blanket sits enthroned against the largest wall. In the semi-darkness, one can notice several old framed etchings hung from the walls, images of the pre-quarantine life in Shore Hills.
The brightest corner is where the bar takes place, an ancient mahogany counter with a good bunch of people leaning on it. A stuffed crocodile lays at its end, watching the barflies, while a massive moose head towers above everything, hooked on top of the bottle rack, upon which is displayed an impressive collection of whiskey bottles, from classical Scotch whiskeys to more exotic ones such as Finnish whiskeys or a "Solan Nº1" bottle from the Himalaya mountains. A few bottles are empty but still displayed on the shelves, due to the difficulty of refurbishing the stock since the zombie outbreak.
A carved pumpkin has been left there, the last remnant of the Halloween night party.
The doors are kept open to welcome every passerby, who will have their first drink offered by the house to greet them in. An umbrella stand is installed near the front door, but it is mainly used to drop off shotguns nowadays.
The pub is run by a few merry fellows, always happy to share a glass or two (or three, erm four, well, as long as we can stand upright. And if we can't, we have sofas anyway...). You will find safety there, care and friends if you are looking for some.
If you want to share more than a drink, or if you simply want to hang out around a bit longer, pop in our dedicated forum to say hello!
At the bar
- Shore Hills Brown Ale : Dating back to 2007, this is now the best-selling bottled beer in Shore Hills, and is one of Malton’s most well-known brews, famous for being the first suburb-home-made-style Brown Ale. Our local team tried for two years to produce a beer to rival the clarity and purity of the Newcastle Brown Ale. Even though we failed, we did come up with something new which has a “nutty delicacy” (said a now-forgotten beer taster passing by). Tastes of wild nuts and thyme.
- Malton Old Speckled Hen : The beer dates from early 2009 when the stock of much loved Morland Old Speckled Hen started to run low. We then blended the leftover with a secret mixture brewed in our basement, creating the first Maltonian Old Speckled Hen. We're still adding our secret recipe to this ale when the barrels' content shrinks, so we always keep a bit of the original ale in this brew. Taste close to the original Morland Old Speckled Hen, despite some slanderers claiming the contrary.
- Bishop’s Finger : The “nun’s delight” as some locals refer to it. It has some “hints of raisins, licorice and vanilla.” Mick, in his straight to the point style, declares it “pretty darn good.”
- Kevan's Bombardier : Elaborated in 2005 when the city walls were sealed for a nobody-knows-how-long time. Many notable Maltonian beer writers, including Cassoulet and BPitt452, have written favourably about this beer. Cassoulet describes it as “malty and mellow”, but N00b_23_7 was disappointed by the “simple taste, and found it “a bit metallic” (he's evidently been banned from the pub ever since).
Those are the ale selections currently served in the Zeally. We also have more traditional beers, from Guinness to a large choice of lagers. Ask the bartender for specific beverages. Due to the influence of the older member of our staff, a kettle is always boiling to serve hot teas, grogs and warming drinks. If any crumbling dude wants any of it, turn to Aunt, she'll be very glad to do so...
ALL FOOD IS COOKED FRESH FOR YOU! THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.
Warning : we grow our own vegetables, and are supplied fresh meat from local butchers improvised abattoirs. It may happen that animals are in the zombie transformation process when killed, thus, to prevent any risk, we overcook the meat. If despite our precautions you find anything suspicious (eg. moving) on your plate, our staff will replace your dish immediately.
Sandwiches :
- BLT : The traditional!
- Brie & Bacon : Due to the lack of supplies from foreign countries, we have replaced the brie by local cow cheese. Very few people notice the change of taste.
- Paté & Cucumber : For the same reasons, paté is unobtainable in Malton any more. We unsuccessfully tried to bake our own, thus this sandwich is no longer available.
- Egg Mayo : As it reads, boiled eggs and mayonnaise.
- Sausage : 100% Maltonian meat.
- Tuna Mayo : The stock of tuna cans is running low; hurry up tuna lovers!
Main :
- Spicy braised beef : For safety reasons we can no longer serve low-cooked meat, then this dish is available no more.
- Bangers and mash : Mashed potato, good quality Maltonian sausages and onion gravy.
- Fish and Chips : Freshly fished. Traditional cod & haddock has been replaced by locally fished barbells and chubs. Deep-fried in flour batter with chips dressed in malt vinegar.
- Shepherd's Pie : A lamb pie cooked in a casserole with a layer of mashed potato acting as a lid. Please tell the staff if your meal is bleating.
- Cottage pie : Beef version. Might moo a bit louder.
- Black Pudding : An easy-to-prepare course nowadays, with the big flow of fresh blood available 24/7 in Malton.
- Jellied Eels & Mash : Became quite popular again since we can't tell the difference between healthy and zombified eels. Served with mashed potato and parsley sauce.
Zeally status
Barricade Policy
The Zeally is to be kept at VSB to offer shelter and drinks to every traveler, except in case of a large zombie horde wandering close by. Those green persons being non-beer-drinkers, we are forced to raise our barricades to a higher level.
Current Status
The Zeally is currently very fine, but it would be nice if someone could bring inside a few logs for the fireplace.
Now Zed Free! Come on by and share a pint!
