September 2024. Driffield, Bridlington, Filey. Armed with our “Southworth Groupies on tour ’24” T-shirts Mrs RM and I set off to the east coast towards Filey. Friendly Filey doesn’t welcome campervans, unless they pay £30 a night to stay on a patch of grass a mile from town, so we parked up in Delightful Driffield,… Continue reading FILEY FAX – BEER TASTES BETTER IN PINT GLASSES

NO BASS TODAY, BUT THE PALACE JOINS LEEDS PUB ROYALTY
February 2024. Leeds Pub Crawl. Just a half in the Duck and Drake, very sensible now (too late, too late) as Will and I made a penultimate stop on our curated exploration of heritage hostelries. Down behind the Minster, sits the Palace, no longer a GBG regular since the days when I popped in here… Continue reading NO BASS TODAY, BUT THE PALACE JOINS LEEDS PUB ROYALTY
ALL DRESSED UP FOR A NIGHT OUT IN THE FOX AND CONEY
Retired Martin Day. South Cave. Not the most spectacular birthday, but huge relief after resolving a major domestic issue* that morning to actually be out, somewhere I hadn’t really been before. And after a great new find in Beal, a complete circuit of Snaith, a bath (first of the year) in a castle, and a… Continue reading ALL DRESSED UP FOR A NIGHT OUT IN THE FOX AND CONEY

THE SUB-£2.50 PINT LIVES, AND IT’S NOT SAM SMITHS.
I draw you in with the Sam Smiths glass and lacings, only to let you down, perhaps. Next up, Marton-in-the-Forest and Martin-in-the-Pub. Well, Stillington, strictly. Your typical north-of-York village, with everyone either away doing a pointless office job or stocking their larder for the coming apocalypse (postponed). Excellent Village store serving chunky sandwiches and posh… Continue reading THE SUB-£2.50 PINT LIVES, AND IT’S NOT SAM SMITHS.
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
FILEY FAX
Steal with pride, particularly blog post titles. And ALWAYS include a cat picture. This one from near Bonhommes in Filey. It’s been 15 years, back to Euro 2002 and Sven, since I was in Filey, staying in a caravan at Reighton Sands during our “posh” phase. In all the time since then, the Beer Guide… Continue reading FILEY FAX
