PLEASE TAKE ONE – FELINFOEL FREEBIES

PLEASE TAKE ONE – FELINFOEL FREEBIES

May 31, 2022June 1, 2022 11 Comments

I really should have saved that Felinfowl ? blog title for this one. #Amateur Always nice to bring you a picture of an actual brewery on what some claim is a beer blog, even if that brewery has a reputation somewhere below Arkells. In the local park, a statue commemorates someone erroneously picking up a… Continue reading PLEASE TAKE ONE – FELINFOEL FREEBIES

FELINFOUL ?

May 26, 2022May 29, 2022 7 Comments

In the ’90s we made annual trips to Cardiff (top Balti) and beyond (less great curry) and fell a bit in love with Brain’s Bitter and Felinfoel Double Dragon. Felinfoel seems to have a reputation on a par with Arkells or Palmers these days, and having gone largely keg the GBG has little to do… Continue reading FELINFOUL ?

HIPPIE HUGGING AT LLANTHONY PRIORY

HIPPIE HUGGING AT LLANTHONY PRIORY

  Right, a cracker as I close in on completing Gwent. Just how is the Llanthony Priory Hotel such a yo-yo entry in the Guide ?   Two years out of the GBG while I finished Gwent, and now back in, taunting me from the Black Mountains. Wales has some of the best located GBG… Continue reading HIPPIE HUGGING AT LLANTHONY PRIORY

A PEMBROKE PIG-OUT

A PEMBROKE PIG-OUT

June 9, 2019June 10, 2019 5 Comments

I know how you love my weird music and Chinese takeaway tips, but here’s a great chippy for next time you’re lost near Milford Haven. £3.20 Anytime Day Return from the Docks to (old) Pembroke. I’m not wasting £3.20 when it’s only a 44 minute walk and you get views like this on the hill.… Continue reading A PEMBROKE PIG-OUT

AND SO TO BWLCH

A couple of winners to end Wales Part I, on that hallowed stretch of A40 road that takes you from Brecon to Bass in the Bear at Crickhowell. Apart from the posh Bear (return visit overdue), there’s some renowned pubs like the Star in Talybont, and the New Inn in Bwlch (always pronounced wrongly). So… Continue reading AND SO TO BWLCH

FLAMING DRAGON CURRY IN ABERDARE

FLAMING DRAGON CURRY IN ABERDARE

August 8, 2018August 9, 2018 17 Comments

  I thought I’d seen it all by the age of 53.  Jacaranda trees in bloom in Harare, Cliff Richard in Cambridge in the summer of ’74,  the family naan in Balti Towers, two goals in injury time to win the League.  Even the Pubmeister in shorts. But apparently I’d never seen Aberdare. A town… Continue reading FLAMING DRAGON CURRY IN ABERDARE
