After catching a bus to St Nichol's farmers market and purchasing my usual pie and also a piece of topside beef from Moorland Farm, Axbridge, Somerset I met Pete in the Commercial Rooms. Suffered the usual wait at the bar although this time when the bar person started to serve some late comers they very kindly pointed out that it was me that was next. Fair play to them. I got a pint of Ringwood Huffin 4.4%. Ever mindful of trying new beers we finished our pints and headed to the Cornubia a delightful pub run by an extremely nice couple. They also offer a good discount to card carrying members of Camra There is the usual decoration and a tank with some turtles swimming about. The landlady told us that there were getting a bigger tank so the turtles would have more room. I suspect that the resident turtles will just get bigger or it will provide an excuse to introduce more wild life. We shall see. Here we devoured a pint of Lord Nelson 4.2% from the Cornish Brewing Company Anyway, our second choice was a beer brewed for the Cornubia called, wait for it, Cornubia 3.8% a copper coloured ale with a nice hops to the nose and a hoppy aftertaste. After that we tried a pint of Old Higby 4.8%. A really enjoyable afternoon quaffing beer and putting the spending review to rights.
I managed to catch an earlier bus than normal so got home in time for a couple of bowls of really scrummy, really delicious lamb stew.
Its Thursday and can you guess what that means. Yes, curry night at the Staple Hill Oak. There is a new menu for the curry club. Mainly old favourites but some new ones. I hope that they have not taken the opportunity to raise their prices. Se shall see tonight.
