Not only were Mengo out cycling but so were the local Scouts. Caused a bit of confusion but Mengo eventually went in the pub and left the Scouts to their hut.
We were delivered short measures but as the barmaid was ‘nice’ ROC let her off top up duty. It was a case of two Dizzy Blondes behind the bar but we only got to try one.

Despite it’s out of the way location, the pub was its usual busy self with the Wednesday Women’s Diners. PV and SH decided to try the Cottage and found the brewery had tried hard and managed to turn out a beer worse than the Itchin Valley. Fortunately, the other beers on were much nicer, with the Hammerpot just winning the best beer vote.

If SH had only known we would end up here he would have ordered some Black Pudding Scotch eggs from Carol. As it was we ended up with crisps. Visited by some sprayed on trousers but after she and her escort saw the company they only stayed for one. The local law had it you finished with the Sharp’s beer even if it was weaker than the rest because it had more taste. Whether the local was right or not, the Cornish was in stunning form and the best beer of the night.
