No, not BRAPA’s consumption last week. That’s the claimed sale of cask ale at We*herspoon’s Weepinh *sh in St. Neots last week. I used to pop in this classic gentlefolk Spoons quite regularly for flat whites, Thursday curry and the occasional pint of Saffron (why ?). On Thursday afternoon it was very quiet, the gentlefolk… Continue reading 473 PINTS A WEEK

TOP 100 PUBS – YE OLDE SUN, ST NEOTS
Back in St Neots, I scoured my options for a second pint of mainstream BBB before meeting back at Lidl. Alan Winfield did (nearly) all the pubs in 2016; I’d have liked a pint in a Craft Union in his honour but St Neots CAMRA is still campaigning for one of those. So Ye Olde… Continue reading TOP 100 PUBS – YE OLDE SUN, ST NEOTS
ST NEOTS, SINGLETS & THE SECRET DOOM BAR PUMP
So, you are no so much a “Beer Blogger”, but a “Pub Blogger” So wrote a venerable CAMRA branch chairman (not THAT one) this week as we amiably discussed good pubs down south. “Pub Blogger” was written in the way you might write “Hull fan” or “Moth botherer”, I thought. It’s Life After Football’s fault.… Continue reading ST NEOTS, SINGLETS & THE SECRET DOOM BAR PUMP
Eynesbury’s Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes
Oooh, aren’t people angry today ? Mrs RM is so angry she’s thrown out all my old IndyMan glasses. You can read more about that on MumsNet. In 1970, when people were angry about important things like Sir Alf’s substitutions against the Germans, my Dad entered a competition to see who could drive the… Continue reading Eynesbury’s Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes
WADSWORTH IN HUNTS
Back from Scotland to a rare post about my home county (ish). You’ll be thinking that’s a spelling mistake at the top, particularly if you’re Pub Curmudgeon and know to expect them. Not so. The Three Horseshoes in Graveley is owned by tiny J.Wadsworth wine merchants of St. Ives in Huntingdonshire, perhaps our most low-key pub… Continue reading WADSWORTH IN HUNTS
SUBURBAN COMMUNITY LOCAL, ST.NEOTS
I was pleased when Alan Winfield started a blog to record his impressive pub crawls, often in the lesser known towns around England. Not only is it an impressive photographic record of our pub stock, it’s also a reminder of the variety of drinking places folk enjoy. You might think people like Simon Everitt and… Continue reading SUBURBAN COMMUNITY LOCAL, ST.NEOTS
WETHERSPOONS – EU DEBATES AND VINDALOO
I gave my remaining Wetherspoons vouchers to the old chap in the Bank House in Cheltenham, so it’s club deals till the end of June for me. I’ve been nipping in the newish Weeping Ash in St Neots for a coffee most weeks I’m there, and it always seems a pleasant enough Spoons. An architecturally… Continue reading WETHERSPOONS – EU DEBATES AND VINDALOO
SCRATCHINGS IN THE OLDE SUN, ST. NEOTS
I’ve had a few days closer to home, before I embark on the great Doncaster/Tunbridge Wells/Hull odyssey (unfortunately in that order) this weekend. No new GBG ticks for 3 days; BRAPA will be catching me up by May. My now regular St.Neots Thursday has just uncovered a gem though. I wrote about the town’s pubs… Continue reading SCRATCHINGS IN THE OLDE SUN, ST. NEOTS
SPRINGTIME IN ST.NEOTS
I’m going to be spending a lot of Thursdays in St. Neots for the foreseeable future. This bit of Huntingdonshire/East Bedfordshire is still flat, but does have some decent walks along the Ouse and enough urban development to pass a couple of hours. In Potteries style, St Neots is a collection of villages either side… Continue reading SPRINGTIME IN ST.NEOTS
