The mb06 Journal – Gloucester 2023

Another Gloucester Quays Beano and another Fire 🔥 Alarm on arrival. Luckily not the Premier Inn on this occasion. It was rather fresh, so after checking in the car. It was straight into Costa Coffee for a Coffee and Bacon Roll. Fruit based drink in The Lord High Constable of England. Orange juice with slices of Orange, Lemon and Lime. The Premier Inn All You Can Eat Full English. Me, rabbiting on and Filled Rolls in The Pelican.

You can just about see the beans

In which the Journal starts even before the Beano start. Training in The Malcolm Uphill, Caerphilly and having my first Curry of the year. CES2023 monitoring as well. That’s what you do in January. CES 2023 goes into farming. The Petrol is cheaper in Hereford and I get a Costa Reward for a free hot drink. 99p Guest Ales in the Kings Fee and overdoing it with Cobs in The Orange Tree. It’s a quality Mini Beano so far. Poor planning and places being shut mean it’s a return to The Orange Tree and more Cobs. Continued to rain.

The mb12 Journal – Monmouth November 2022

Various odds from this Autumn mini beano. Thoughts, tech, beer and food. Casual and unrehearsed. And back to Monmouth but just for 24 hours. Despite the fact I said it wasn’t for for, mainly due to the lack of craft ale. It’s a return because it is close, easily accessible and Spoons open at 07:00 (bar opens at 09:00).  

A frosty start. Two hot water bottles on the dash. Coffee and a Luxury Festive Mince Pie to start in The Kings Head. No problems with the egg supply in Spoons. Good quality Full English with extra butter. 6.5/10 and I’m a hard marker. 

Hazy Beers that weren’t and should have sat long in the cellar and a Bottle of Boss that was actually quite good. I watched the Rugby and Wales lost.

Asking questions, yes you can walk into a Premier Inn for breakfast if you aren’t staying there. However, only if they have enough space and it will be more expensive than booked on line. So the overall rating for The Premier Inn All you can eat is 8/10. What would I improve. Bigger plates please.

To sum up. Wetherspoons good. Premier Inn very good. Slightly different products and different accessibility. However Bacon.
