The warm welcome of an old English inn

Well, ‘pay less when pub is quieter’ I could get behind (The Times)

Chip van outside the brewery tap. Portion of chips please. “Have you pre-ordered on the app?” No. “Well, it’ll be over an hour before we can even think about it”. Right. What ever happened to spontaneity? Chips ffs!

Former Plough pub, Wallington, Herts. Frequented by George Orwell who lived next door 1936-1940, in the village that apparently provided the setting for Animal Farm (additional images from display board in St Mary’s church)

New blogpost - widespread pub closures have led to an epidemic of loneliness. pubcurmudgeon.blogspot.com/2023/10/an-epi…

Love to see this, a private dwelling honouring its former pub heritage - Coopers Arms, City Road, Cambridge

“I mean, how many crimes does that glass commit?” Still counting…

Beer garden weather at long last. Perfect beer garden beer - Nethergate Green & Pleasant Land @ Bell, Balsham

Call of duty - Ghost Ship by the river Granta. Dog & Duck, Linton

Beer & Bao Wylde Sky Brewing who have a brewery bar Cambridge Beer Fest in 10 days and counting…

Devil’s Dyke Morris dancing on Whitsun outside a house built on the site of the former Queen Adelaide pub in Whaddon. It was the last pub in the village when it closed in 1956 - a bad year considering two of the village’s other pubs had closed earlier the same year.

We’re a haven from the rain, and we have the right beer for the weather #cbf2024

Congratulations to MrWinter's! This afternoon Fusioneer was judged to be the Champion Mild of East Anglia. Available now at #cbf2024 while stocks last.

The weather might not be as tropical as the beers and shirts but we’re open #cbf2024

It was 20 years ago today… well, 2004 that Moonshine began brewing, with Mulberry Whale winning beer of Cambridge Beer Fest. This year marks their last appearance at the fest so they’ve recreated that first beer as ‘In the Beginning’ and brewed a special ‘How It Ends’. Cheers Moonshine

Cambridge: we need your help! We have over 20,000 pints of British beer remaining today. That's 183 different cask beers. Plus international beer, cider, perry, mead, wine and cheese. Can you give us a hand to drink it? #cbf2024

Riflemans, Glastonbury. Tribute exemplary. Broken chair awaits its winter fate next to the stove

Great pub beer fest list at the Chequers, Fowlmere; Jarl & Electric Landlady the first to sell out yesterday, unsurprisingly. A wonderful Orkney Boulder Beach the pick today
