Beer: Salopian Golden Thread 5%
Beer is £4.30 a pint, but it’s very good. I think the vigorous twilight walk through Stockwood Park golf course makes a pint go down particularly well pre-curry night in Slip End.
The pub is relatively empty at half five, save for a group of lads in high-vis work gear – all drinking San Miguel – and a family of four, the adults of which are drinking San Miguel too… I don’t know: I can see the appeal in a hot country like Spain – cold beer in small glasses – but in autumnal South Bedfordshire?
Work is tough at the moment – with acceptance of unpaid overtime being an almost minimum requirement. I won’t do it.
Elsewhere in the pub game – the F&R are gearing up for Christmas. From the pictured pamphlet: Five course meal on Christmas Day… £70 (including a glass of welcome Prosecco). Five course meal on New Years’ Eve - £55 (including a glass of Prosecco at midnight). We saw the 1990s in at the F&R – there was no Prosecco at midnight then… what there was was a group of local lads singing “I should be so lucky” instead of “Auld Lang Syne”.
