October 2023. Kirkby-in-Ashfield. Now all these trips to honeypot villages in Bradford and Grantham are fine and well, but I know it’s Mansfield you really want to read about. GBG24 brings two (2) new entries in and around Kirkby (not Merseyside) home to Larwood, and once home to four railway stations, impressive for a mining… Continue reading KIRKBY-IN-ASHFIELD – BLUE MONKEY, WORN-OUT LOLA

IN THE DOGHOUSE, UNEXPECTEDLY
September 2023. Brigg. What Pub told us there were four cask pubs in Brigg. We found those, and an unmarked craft bar, AND a genuine real ale bar.

As ever, pubs can open whenever they like, and I had no excuse for not getting my butler to check their midweek opening… Continue reading A DASH TO THE DOGHOUSE
SELBY IN THE DOGHOUSE
Is Selby the new Ely ? Or the new Southwell ? Or the new Selby ? That’s the question on my mind as I make my long-awaited return to the irritating place that gets stuck on a little insert box on the North Yorks page of the GBG. Looking at that map with all those… Continue reading SELBY IN THE DOGHOUSE
IN GLASGAE. IN THE DOGHOUSE
The last leg of our Scottish trip took us past the home of Beer Guide completist and overall legend Pubmeister on the way to Scotland’s First City. There may be a vibrant craft beer scene in Scotland but it isn’t producing many new Beer Guide entries (and that Hippo place closed), just the Raven this… Continue reading IN GLASGAE. IN THE DOGHOUSE
