“The year of the cat”. THE ANGEL, ATHERSTONE

August 2025. Atherstone.

And finally, our seventh Atherstone pub of the day, and an actual Beer Guide entry (GBG 25, anyway).

The Angel looks classy, if a bit plain,

and it has the beers, including a healthy Leatherbritches contingent.

I had a good half of Cherry Bock (3+), but my only memory, after a day of greyhounds and whippets, was a rare feline appearance.

Looks at its cosiest from this angle, to be fair.

And that was that. Back in Atherstone in a week’s time, but will I be tempted by the mysterious “Graffiti” ?

Er, nope.

    Blimey! (tips hat)

    “The Angel looks classy, if a bit plain,”

    But it’s so twinkly!

    “and it has the beers, including a healthy Leatherbritches contingent.”

    From Ashby De-La-Zouch!

    “I had a good half of Cherry Bock”

    That’s not the Titanic Cherry Porter?

    “was a rare feline appearance”

    This is where my decorous decorum kicks in and I refrain from commenting. 😉

    “Looks at its cosiest from this angle, to be fair.”

    And judging by the shorts, good weather is still to be had in the UK.

    “but will I be tempted by the mysterious “Graffiti” ?”

    The prices are about the same as where I go for a haircut (including the OAP discount). And yes, they do ‘weird’ stuff as well which I stay the hell away from.

    Cheers
