On a visit to Shepherd Neame's brewery early on in my quaffing career, I noticed an old pumpclip bearing the motto 'Malt and Hops only'. A sentiment with which I heartily concur.

Interesting point of view, but if I lived in Faversham, and wasn't a regular of the 'phant, why shouldn't I order direct from the brewer?Also, if I'm not a regular, should I expect the pub to deliver...

Had an email from a person in North Yorkshire yesterday,bragging that they'd just had a pub lunch.i haven't ben in a pub since 30th October, let alone eaten a Scotch-egg.

Likewise!

So much for Kent being split:parts of East Sussex and Surrey now in Tier 3.Looks as if I won't get to eat a Scotch-Egg this side of whenever.

Interesting idea, but I'm not sure how the CO2 will combine with the "cake", and not just waft away into the atmosphere.Good soil conditioner, though.

Takes me back to my youth.

The Green Man, if only because it has a corrugated iron roof. COVID 19 regulations rather decreased its charms.

My eye!
