With a Yellow weather warning for wind, it will be best to stay indoors and that’s my plan. Premier Inn Black Pudding to start again.
 |
 |
|
| Costa Coffee at the base and The Premier Inn just around the corner. | Black Pudding and a raw Tomato. | |
 |
 |
|
| Local Poke Stop – Part 01. | Local Poke Stop – Part 02. | |
 |
 |
|
| The local Spoons – The Royal Oak. Does a good trade in Full Englishs. | Used my CAMRA voucher. | |
 |
 |
|
| Strong, but tastes stronger. | Plenty of hops. | |
 |
 |
|
| Can beat Teddy Bears! | Actually a Marston’s Pub. Both BT and Sky Football. | |
 |
 |
|
| Thin but spicy. | And the crowd go wild! | |
 |
 |
|
| Moving on to a Brewpub. | Not as good as it looked, which is a pity. | |
 |
 |
|
| Much better but not part of the chain. Brewed in London. | Pressure vessel and something else. |
