Peterborough Pub Crawl. Suggestions please.

[gillhalfpint]

We are off to Peterborough on Thursday and plan to do fests I have heard about at Charters, and the Green Man in Stamford.

While there we would like to do a crawl of Peterborough and Stamford pubs.

Any suggestions welcome. We have the GBG for starters, but there are often brill pubs that don't make the guide.

Cheers.

Haven't been to Peterborough for around 9 years since I went to Peterborough Vs Barnet match. I can recall pub by London Road Bridge near the ground but that was 9 years ago. I can't remember name of the pub.

For Stamford, I think there is pub called Queen's Head or Arms and had few handpulls on but again haven't been back since 2004.

Sorry Can't help you there mate

Charters is a must!! A floating beer festival! The Coalheavers is in the GBG but personally I thought it was awful - quite rundown, but that was a couple of years ago.

Well Gill, I might have suggested Brewery Tap, Charters Bar, Coalheavers, Palmerston Arms, Wortley Almshouses, possibly the off-track Hand & Heart or the (not bad spoons) Drapers Arms, but I see you've already done the lot! We also tried Goodbarns Yard, but it was closed on the day.
Palmerston had undergone structural change (for the worse imo) on my 2nd visit, but still a good beer range.

I had wondered whether I could reach the Boat by walking along the canal from Whittlesea station but that question, to date, remains unanswered, as does the reason the place is Whittlesey, but the station Whittlesea. ??

My masterplan is Brewery Tap, Charters, Cherry Tree (new GBG entry), Coalheavers, Drapers, Hand & Heart, Palmerston Arms, and Wortley Almshouses.

We had Goodbarns Yard on our 2008 crawl but never got there, probably for the same reason as you missed it.

Stamford looks like being George Hotel, Bull and Swan, Otters Pocket, Green Man, Hit or Miss, Jolly Brewer, Mama Liz, Dolphin, Tobie Norris, and Kings Head as I have picked up the crawl with map in Beer Around 'ere

Whatever happens, we are in for a good Easter what with fests at Charters and the Green Man too, and we have 4 days available to do them all.

I may not get round too many of my planned pubs as I have just checked the beer festival lists for Charters and Green Man.

I need 19 from Charters and 28 from Green Man lists. Plan to do Peterborough Friday as footy at home to Newcastle Saturday I believe.
