October 2023. Hunton. Richmondshire. Mrs RM kindly agreed to taste the beer on our two North Yorkshire ticks on the way back from Newcastle. Some of you will be horrified to learn I consider “a swig of the dregs is a tick” but as the latest GBG completist I get to set the rules, at… Continue reading RICHMONDSHIRE REVISITED

NEW YEAR’S EVE IN RICHMOND
One last tick in 2021, on a rather quiet New Year’s Eve in Richmond, the Bewdley of the North. It seemed only a few months since I was last here, and indeed it was, as Richmond provides its annual new GBG pub. Unlike Mrs RM, they hadn’t taken the deccies down yet. Last few times… Continue reading NEW YEAR’S EVE IN RICHMOND
RICHMOND – PORK PIES AND BIKERS
Not quite back home, this post comes to you courtesy of my Kentish in-laws internet, as I attempt to catch up with a blog backlog bigger than Bob Dylan’s back catalogue. Not quite as big as Bob’s back pages, but I’d accumulated a fair collection of notes from the last week of August’s trips which… Continue reading RICHMOND – PORK PIES AND BIKERS
LEAVING THE KEW TO STEW
Look at the sacred scrap of paper with my West London itinerary and you’ll see how I’m sticking to the running order. Can I make it to the very end ? Don’t be daft, that’s sixteen (16) pubs. It was hard enough getting to Richmond’s Tap Tavern, for goodness sake. I waited on the corner… Continue reading LEAVING THE KEW TO STEW

Richmond (the real one) scored well, which surprised me a bit as I’d never really got it, till a spring trip to the Holly Hill which provided some staggering views from… Continue reading BATTERED BEERMATS IN RICHMOND (THE REAL ONE)
RICHMOND REVELATIONS
No. not that Richmond. I need trauma counselling after a trip there. This is the real one, home (well, close) to a recent CAMRA Pub of the Year and generally considered one of our great towns. Now, that is a beautiful bit of Ordnance Survey, but I’d never quite got it, till last week.… Continue reading RICHMOND REVELATIONS
A WINNING WELCOME AT THE GEORGE & DRAGON, HUDSWELL
The Southworth family from the States seem to be having a great time touring the south coast. I asked them whether they were doing any beer festivals. “After 8 nights here we saw a great beer fest everyday! And we got to enjoy Deal and Hastings. That is what i call a beer fest😀” Yes,… Continue reading A WINNING WELCOME AT THE GEORGE & DRAGON, HUDSWELL
