“A gallon of Palmers, and a greasy Pad Thai, like a night out in Bridport, come fill me again” You can see where Sheffield United (or was it John Denver) nicked the song from. Actually, no-one much picks Brid for a Sunday night, even in August. There weren’t many takers for the view back along… Continue reading MORE GIANT DONGLE IN BRIDPORT

PILING ON THE PALMERS
The last knockings in Bridport, and back to the 21st century at the Spoons, where I took my usual art shot. And had a fourth refill of Flat White. We couldn’t be bothered to have another pasta in the campervan, so searched options for an early tea. Can’t be hard at 5.30 on a wet… Continue reading PILING ON THE PALMERS
ODDFELLOWS
Next stop after the Tiger was the Pursuit of Hoppiness, which eagle-eyed readers will recall me writing about at the time, which feels about 100 posts ago. Top beer, big choice, a cert for a future Beer Guide. What GBG future that leaves trad Palmers pubs like the Oddfellows, I have no idea. Out… Continue reading ODDFELLOWS
“HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE CHEESE ? CHEESE IS LIFE “. PUB PHILOSOPHY AT BRIDPORT’S TIGER
Our stroll along Bridport‘s main drag presented a mixed town with some oddly priced reading matter. There’s a good string of pubs, not all of them Palmers either. Next stop for us was the Greyhound. I assume we won’t see many Spoons in towns smaller than this in the future, so they are to be… Continue reading “HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE CHEESE ? CHEESE IS LIFE “. PUB PHILOSOPHY AT BRIDPORT’S TIGER
BEER & FOOD MATCHING – PALMERS 200 & LADY BOBWOMBLE’S BROWNIES
I can put it off no longer. After what seems like tmonths of build-up and multiple diversionary tactics, here’s Bridport. Part I, anyway. I’ve been wanting to visit the town properly for two decades, with a sole flying visit in 1995 now long forgotten. That means Stranraer is newly top of my “To See” list;… Continue reading BEER & FOOD MATCHING – PALMERS 200 & LADY BOBWOMBLE’S BROWNIES
FLASHING THE GOLD CARD
Mrs RM and I took joint life CAMRA membership 20 odd years ago, even before the Spoons vouchers kicked in, and despite believing that beer festivals are the devil’s work. I don’t really care about the odd 10p discount you get in pubs that trade profit for Beer Guide inclusion, but I’ll take when I’m… Continue reading FLASHING THE GOLD CARD
