danthecapriman Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I’m going to have to bail I’m afraid. Felt a bit under the weather all last week and to top that I’ve had a blocked ear and ear infection over the last few days too! I can’t hear a damn thing at the mo! Have a good day, weather looks like it’s going to be good for you too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanky Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 Thats a shame chaps, but understood. I'll try and arrange another one later in the autumn, we can scope out the venue, if its good we can always return danthecapriman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dozeydustman Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Yep a nice smoll meet up this lunchtime, thank you @Stanky for arranging. Couple of now familiar faces and one new for me. I personally liked the venue; nice selection of things to drink & scoff, brought some bottled ciders home with me which I'll relish this evening with a curry. It's a good place if you like quality coffee and real ales none of which are ridiculously priced. I think a bacon roll and coffee breakfast deal £3.75, coffees from about £2 and beers from about £3.75/pint, so certainly not extortionate. Should have got a photo of the tent in the field next door - might have been @Bucketeer on his travels. Car park is a little smaller than I expected it to be, which would be a concern if a larger (dozen or more) group of us met there in the future especially as we'd be there for a couple hours, (though I'll happily pick someone up or be picked up if needed). Might be worth letting them know a group will be visiting them with a motley selection of classic* cars. More than willing to make enquiries about this if needed. All in all Eighteenty/10 for venue, would go there again. mitsisigma01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitsisigma01 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 The one half of an ale tested, passed with much approval, so much that I need to look it up because it had greater flavour and niceness of what I thought was the weakest one on offer 18/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're round the corner from my wife's best friend and we're due to visit her this week so not going out of my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanky Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 I've only had the IPA and its alright, not amazing but adequate. I've got the dark ale for another night which i hope is more interesting. The IPA was OK just generically hopped. Whats the verdict on the ciders?

Much better than strongbow and the other mass produced stuff as expected, though not a patch on real scrumpy or home made ciders. The crowmen 6% abv one was nice, dry it tasted very appley, bit like a Cox apple a hint of honey, but left a slight taste in the mouth like it was artificially strong, almost as if it had half a shot of vodka in it. The weaker 4.8% Conquest was the nicer pint, again very very apply, a bit sweeter and very honeyed; it tasted like egremont russets (my favourite apple) and not that pungent added alcohol taste. I prefer a cider that tastes more like apple juice, although this can be dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
