Right There by The Station
28 June 2019
From an Ancient Book I took a clue, well actually it was Retired Martin’s Blog again. Happening to already being in Hereford, home of the wonderful Hereford Beer House It was just a couple of taps on The Transport For Wales Rail app and I was on my way.
Yes despite being in England, Hereford Station is run by Transport for Wales. You have to feel sorry for them.
However I got a seat and the aircon was working unlike the journey back.
Not the largest of Railway Stations but at least it had a carpark. It’s on the edge of town. Across the road from Tesco and Aldi.
I had no idea that there was a Brewery next to the station and that it was open from 10:00. Twattery already in progress, always a good sign.
Nicely cool inside, great welcome, fast non captive portal WiFi and the toilets are clean. Marked down for a return visit. An excellent fine. Plenty of merch too.
Handily it’s open seven days a week. Anyway onward.
The Rose and Crown, an Old School Real Ale Pub in the town centre. A couple pints of cask and some Friday lunch. Ham, Eggs and Chips obvs.
Great Pub, so so WiFi.
The Church Inn just around the corner. More of a Gastropub and it may be The Ludlow Brewery Tap?
Back to The Ludlow Brewery as the station has no waiting room or toilets for that matter.
A packed two carriage Class 150, no aircon but I did get a seat. The tunnel was the coolest part of the journey back.
High Chairs and Termites in Dorchester
I have a real soft spot for Dorchester. It’s a great town and it’s part of West Dorset CAMRA’s demise. It was and still is a Beer Town, so is always worth a visit.
The local Spoons The Royal Oak – rear entrance
And from the Front
My favourite tables along the wall are now high tables, I’m not sure why. Anyway, always a friendly welcome here. Opens at 08:00, Bar opens at 09:00.
All tastes are covered for in Dorchester. Me, I think The Teddy Bear Museum is the way to go.
I’m not sure what happened to Tom Browns? It used to the Tap for the Dorset Brewing Co but now it seems to be a semi open bring your own food Greene King Pub. A bit of a shame. However The Blue Raddle is just around the corner.
A Good Sign. A Very Good Sign.
A traditional Pub with traditional opening hours. However with covers of Private Eye on the walls of the Gents. Reminds me of the days when Spoons used to have The Daily Telegraph on the walls of the Gents.
What more could you ask for and yes the WiFi was good, free and not captive portal. The Ales and Ciders were pretty good too.
I have to be honest, this is my favourite Pub in Dorchester. Great and varied selection of both cask ales and bottles and cans. Great people who run it. Very clean toilets and wonderful punters.
Be nice to the Termites, they love Cask Ale too
They have Jugs too.
And I haven’t mentioned Goldies or the Brewhouse and Kitchen. The sun shone in Dorchester too.
