….life is peaceful there, in the open air etc etc. Mudgie know the lyrics. Plenty of open air round our mystery pub. which isn’t actually accessible by one of the town’s famous train lines, though the mobility scooter might still be running. One clue for the town, one for the suburb. I know Russ loves… Continue reading GUESS THE PUB GOES WEST…

GUESS THE PUB CROSSES THE BORDER
Ah, but WHICH border ? The Rutland border ? The Cheshire border at Heaton Chapel ? You can probably tell from the decor in this Victorian gem. At least ONE of the bands whose albums grace this famed rock pub are relatively local, and it’s not Aerosmith. It’s a bit of an identikit town, but… Continue reading GUESS THE PUB CROSSES THE BORDER
GUESS THE PUB GOES TO SURREY
I’ve given Surrey short shrift over the years, it was No. 93 in my Top 75 GBG counties, but there’s no doubt that it’s not all Brunning & Price and slow-moving Ranmore Ale. Our mystery pub is in a small town which rotates its GBG entries based on the quality of the jukebox and CAMRA… Continue reading GUESS THE PUB GOES TO SURREY
GUESS THE PUB GOES TO SALOP
Yes, looks a corker today, doesn’t it. I see you heading to Page 357 of your GBG right now, looking for a place that sells those BBB favourites. It won’t help. Never been in the Guide in my ticking lifetime. A trip to the lounge dispels any hopes you’re in a basic boozer. In fact,… Continue reading GUESS THE PUB GOES TO SALOP
GUESS THE PUB GOES TO LINCS
Due to overwhelming public demand, another Guess the Pub to brighten your weekend, as I head to the ugly duckling of the Beer Guide. Lincolnshire wouldn’t quite have finished bottom of my Counties League Table last year; I like a couple of the coastal resorts and the county town is a gem. Even our mystery… Continue reading GUESS THE PUB GOES TO LINCS
GUESS THE PUB GOES TO HAMPSHIRE
Running out of blog material fast, so let’s hope that pubs get re-designated as schools and re-opened on 8th March. I’ll be happy to teach 8 year olds how to construct GBG ticking spreadsheets if it helps. The next mystery pub is actually a mere Fosbury flop away from the Hampshire border, which you won’t… Continue reading GUESS THE PUB GOES TO HAMPSHIRE
GUESS THE PUB GOES “NORTH”
It’s snowing in Sheffield, so my trip to explore the closed pubs of industrial Attercliffe on foot will have to wait. Have another quiz, as I head north. Or do I ? Depends on your view of when “North” starts, I guess. If it helps, today’s mystery was selling this “substantial meal” in December; “Hot… Continue reading GUESS THE PUB GOES “NORTH”
IT’S…………THE WALDEGRAVE ARMS
While England sleeps, Dave “US” Southworth creates Bernie memes solves the Guess the Pub. I thought I was going to have to give you more clues like the Brunel photos. Yes, it’s the Waldegrave Arms in East Harptree, a pub I’d never heard of till yesterday, and will probably never hear of again. Tucked in… Continue reading IT’S…………THE WALDEGRAVE ARMS
GUESS THE PUB
Another dreich day in Sheffield. Taking cardboard to the tip, washing dishes, moving the cans from the utlility room to the fridge. I’m sure there were more than 4 cans yesterday. One of those is from Waterbeach, one from Hackney Wick, two are from Melbourne (Australia). I am SO cosmopolitan. I’ve become a bit obsessed… Continue reading GUESS THE PUB
