June 2025. Bridlington. Three pubs a minute’s walk apart in an hour had put paid to any idea of re-exploring Bridlington Old Town or walking the seabird coast, and I suddenly realised I’d forgotten to eat. A man doesn’t come to the coast to eat pork pies or quinoa, he comes to sit on a… Continue reading BAD DECISIONS IN BRIDLINGTON SPOONS

FILEY FAX – BEER TASTES BETTER IN PINT GLASSES
September 2024. Driffield, Bridlington, Filey. Armed with our “Southworth Groupies on tour ’24” T-shirts Mrs RM and I set off to the east coast towards Filey. Friendly Filey doesn’t welcome campervans, unless they pay £30 a night to stay on a patch of grass a mile from town, so we parked up in Delightful Driffield,… Continue reading FILEY FAX – BEER TASTES BETTER IN PINT GLASSES
BRID ON THE BRINK
Bridlington comes slightly out of order, since the Alex in Hull was actually my last East Yorkshire tick. A week later, a Yorkshire Wolds branch formed a breakaway from their Humberside host. This is where I get geographically lost, as ““The group’s area will basically be a line from Hornsea to Driffield and through Wetwang… Continue reading BRID ON THE BRINK
PLUM PORTER, PIPERS & PESHWARI NAANS
Is that not the most beautiful sight in the known world ? After Mrs RM, obviously. Oh, and where is Great Berwick, incidentally ? You left us at the door to the Board Inn, the pub that put Brid into the big league of pub towns in 2018/19. “Go and look upstairs !” I urged… Continue reading PLUM PORTER, PIPERS & PESHWARI NAANS
BRIDLINGTON : FROM AQUALUNG TO GHOSTBUSTERS
There is nothing better in life, other than a particularly good crispy beef and Singapore rice, than finishing a GBG county. Mrs RM would probably agree, Baa Baa certainly would. East Yorkshire is a doddle, a standard half dozen newbies each year, and a now traditional finale in Bridlington. Scary entrance, traffic light entry (see… Continue reading BRIDLINGTON : FROM AQUALUNG TO GHOSTBUSTERS
“The Funny Onion Is A Good Match For You”
In 2017, at the International School of Pub Blogging Summer Seminar Series, I learnt the Golden Rule of blogging. If you’ve dull material, spice it up with Bass breweriana. Wickingman will fall for it if no-one else does. So here’s the set-up post for my Bridlington package, with an overnight campervan stop near the head… Continue reading “The Funny Onion Is A Good Match For You”
UNBRIDLED JOY IN BRIDLINGTON
OK, that title only really works if you pronounce your favourite East Yorkshire resort as “Bride“, but bear with me. The train from Hull rattled past Beverley and Driffield, normally homes to at least one new GBG tick each year. This must have been a first tick in Brid for a decade, since the wonderful-looking… Continue reading UNBRIDLED JOY IN BRIDLINGTON
