April 2025. Hinckley. It’s just gone 1pm as our Gang of Four (nice post-punk reference for Quinno there) and we decide on a bus for the mile and a half back into Hinckley and Pub 3. I’d have walked to save 3 quid, but it’s a dull old route, and at least the bus gives… Continue reading TOP 100 PUBS – THE GREYHOUND, HINCKLEY

FAGGOTS, PEAS & PEDI. AND MOONLIGHT SHADOW.
20th February 2023. Hope you’ve already had your lunch before you saw that pic. Mrs RM just cooked James and I a lovely roast dinner (NRDSS 4), but a pint of Pedigree as good as the one at the Greyhound in Hinckley would have raised it even higher. I did the full cultural tour of… Continue reading FAGGOTS, PEAS & PEDI. AND MOONLIGHT SHADOW.
BASS, BASS, EVERYWHERE…
…but not a drop to drink, as I was driving, so I just get a sip to confirm the NBSS for the official record. I know this makes me a hypocrite as I’ve said a pint’s a taster but there you go. 4th February 2023. Having completed Derbyshire, thoughts turned to an afternoon of invigorating… Continue reading BASS, BASS, EVERYWHERE…
WHOOSH !!!
More from Builth Wells which, aided by the sunshine I bring to all Welsh towns, looked in decent nick despite the lack of custom. Duncan had done the hard yards the night before and sadly confirmed a lack of Draught Bass. Here’s the statue of someone disappointed at the lack of Bass in 1847. You… Continue reading WHOOSH !!!
I’M WEALD, WEALD GONE
5th February 2020 Our favourite Kentish blogger Paul Bailey is doing a great job avoiding me (or it the other way round ?). First a trip to Dundee when I joined Mrs RM in Tonbridge last month, and now my flying visit to Charcott coincides with his Welsh funeral. We’ll probably catch up somewhere weird… Continue reading I’M WEALD, WEALD GONE
THIS ONE LOOKS FAMILIAR !
My last Mid Wales pub on the trip, and almost certainly my last in GBG19. And what a cracker the Greyhound was, tucked away in Radnorshire to the west of the thriving metropolis of, er, Knighton. But look, it’s got a railway station, under a slightly different name to fool BRAPA. I’ve kindly worked out… Continue reading THIS ONE LOOKS FAMILIAR !
RICH PICKINGS nr. STOWMARKET
My last new Guide pub in Suffolk didn’t offer much in the way of walking, partly because of torrential rain and partly because it’s in the large area of nothingness between Stowmarket and Diss (think Leigh to Lymm but duller). When folk tell me how lovely Suffolk is, I assume they’ve only ever been to the… Continue reading RICH PICKINGS nr. STOWMARKET
