If you knew exactly where that pub was you would realise it is a wart sticking out of a bunion

The first pint will be in here:

It's a beaut old pub near the river (just to the right of the shot) in Marlow, just down the road from the outlaws' house where we'll be staying at first. I'm expecting a delicious foaming pint of one of Rebellion's finest

 

What do you mean, family and friends? Who cares......I'm only gonna be there for the beer

:wink:

 

More to follow as the itinerary develops

​:biggrin:

 

Was there recently for a friends child's communion....lovely views and location....

You really should get yourself over to Herefordshire, so many wonderful pubs and beautiful countryside.

More itinerary has been sorted out....

 

Whilst staying in Suffolk we'll be seeing friends in Cambridge. I am hoping for a couple in the following two establishments, both for old times sake:

 

 

In the city centre, doesn't look like much and is situated right next to a car park but it's a cracking locals' pub. Run (excellently) by the same Italian family for over 30 years now. Loads of great beers, fab home cooked food, no nonsense sort of place. And great cocktails

 

Then heading out to one of the villages where I used to live. This one is also run by an old mate these days, been in the family for 60 odd years this time, and in every pub guidebook ever. A classic old village local, free house but generally only serves Adnams served straight from the barrel (no cellar)

Looks great..!! Enjoy

[Harpodom]

Wheres this NSP?

 

[northshorepom]

Queen's Head in Newton, just south of Cambridge.

 

The archetypal village local. I think it's been in every edition of the Good Beer Guide since it started, so nearly 40 years.

After that we'll be heading up to Suffolk & Cambridge.....staying with friends (husband is I suppose famous by association, just to keep Harpo happy. People like that have big houses with lots of spare rooms ;-) )

 

So I'm imaging the next beer will be in my mate's pub:

Quintessential English countryside.......best enjoyed with a pint of quintessential English ale. Tough decisions to make, however, as his pub sells Adnams and Woodforde's beers on tap. Broadside or Wherry? Decisions, decisions. Might have to make the decision over a few evenings just to make sure it was the right one

 

 

Wherry, definitely. Yum! I'm meeting some friends in Southwold in August - can't wait! Enjoy your trip to old haunts :smile:

I remember the Queen's Head, drunk in there a few times when I lived in Bassingbourn. It was where we lived when we got married so we went out a fair bit.

[dmjg]

we have old peculiar on tap occasionally, it is more of a winter ale being 5.6 alc.......but it soon goes as everyone picks it out of the 3 real ales on offer in our pub, :embarrassed:....I turned the label around one night so I could get the last few pints after work.

 

Scotts Arms has it on all the time. OSH too I think.
