OK, not quite Beer or chips.
Townhouse 'All You Can Eat' breakfast @ £4.99 and £1.80 for tea/coffee - terrific value.
Fat Cat and Canary, Oakham Green Devil - £5.50 and in the Fat Cat - £3.80!!! <yikes>

So, the Eaton Cottage has not been included in this year's CAMRA 'Good Pub Guide' and it's landlord quite rightly has got a tad upset. I loved this quote - if nothing else, it will reduce the number of sandals in the pub. Surely it should have been pairs of sandals!!! <laaugh>
To be honest, I can't see why he's so bothered. For "good" beer is not confined to a cask. The drinking world has evolved, with countless amazing keg beers being produced and served in our pubs. The admirable Camra battle with the big brewers and pubcos has - at least on one level - been won.
So-called craft brewers have injected life into the at-times stodgy world of lower carbonation and puerile beer names (Big Willie, Beardtongue Ruby, Old Growler, Piddle in the Hole). Colourful cans, big flavours, weird ingredients, quirky pubs - and a greater choice of beers than ever before (some with puerile names, though).

I actually really enjoy quite a few craft beers and some of the flavours that brewers conjure up!!
It is exciting. <cheers>
