BLOGGERS TIP: Never pass up the opportunity for alliteration, even when you’ve no actual pub to write about. Having failed to decide on lunch in Monkland (the Cheesesplaining incident), we stopped off at Leominster (NOTE : NOT pronounced Leo’s minster). past the point of caring about food provenance at 3pm. Leominster suffers a bit against… Continue reading A LATE LUNCH IN LEOMINSTER

HEREFORDSHIRE BRONZE IN THE GOLDEN VALLEY
For completeness, a short review of the three pubs we visited in west Herefordshire to complete the county in the Beer Guide. Our ticking took us into the Golden Valley, strikingly highlighted on Bing Maps by the blue line from Ewyas Harold to Bredwardine. You may remember that Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger pre-emptively… Continue reading HEREFORDSHIRE BRONZE IN THE GOLDEN VALLEY
TOP 100 PUBS – BARRELS, HEREFORD
Yes, No.288 in my Top 100 series. So sue me. A third visit here in ten years, and heaving every time.

To be honest, it was never a good idea to finish at Barrels, after two… Continue reading TOP 100 PUBS – BARRELS, HEREFORD
A HEREFORD HOP
Only one new Guide entry in Hereford, whose three GBG choices are slim pickings for a county town (there’s six in Tewkesbury, for comparison). But quality over quantity; I’d given previous entries high marks for beer and pubbiness. And this is a town that knows how to celebrate promotion from the Evo Stik League South.… Continue reading A HEREFORD HOP
POETRY LIES IN THE LION OF LEDBURY

She’s probably in the Rifle Drum with a pint of Fosters as I wrote this* Before she started I took her on a night out in Hereford, which possibly wasn’t top of her Bucket List but there you go. Getting close to a REAL classic pub… Continue reading POETRY LIES IN THE LION OF LEDBURY
A LONER IN ALMELEY
I always enjoy my trips back to the 1950s. Just the one new GBG entry for me to visit in Herefordshire this year, but it’s a corker. Almeley feels a long way from the big city (Leominster), but close to the honeypots of Hergest Ridge and Offas Dyke. Around here, all roads lead to Eardisley.… Continue reading A LONER IN ALMELEY
