Quality Rolls and Crisps
October 2021. The last time I was in Bristol. Why did it take me so long to return? It has been a great day. New pubs, cheese and onion rolls, spring onion crisps, beef and onion crisps, and Three UK providing great bandwidth. What a cracking day.

mb04 for June 2026. Off to Bristol for a bit of a Beano. 2 new Spoons for the Spoons anpp and one new Spoons for the Cask Marque app. It seems to be a bit rainy here which is a shame however the new Spoons of the Robert Fitz Harding is rather nice. Cheers Tipplers.
Beers Of The Beano – Saturday 16 May 2026
When May is rather wet and not very early summery, it’s time to revisit pubs that you haven’t been to since June 2021. The Rickards. What a great place that is. Twt Lol Lollfest glasses and Grey Trees beer. Then on to the Otley, where I got waved at. Still haven’t fixed the WiFi though, but the beers are really rather good. Nearly lost my bus pass as well.
