I'm off to Yorkshire for a few days next week, so I've just booked a room in the centre of Peterborough on the way back.
It's ¾ of a mile from the Oakham Brewery Tap with umpteen Oakham ales to choose from and a reasonably priced Thai restaurant. [HASHTAG]#result[/HASHTAG] [HASHTAG]#whatsnottolike[/HASHTAG]

Are you sure you're POSH enough to be let into Peterborough?

;)
 
Great afternoon out at the Lacons' Brewery in Gt Yarmouth with free beer on tap. They've really expanded in the last few years and I like most of their ales.
 
Just had my first ever can on Ghost Ship, because JMF seems to be forever drinking it. A very fruity taste that seemed to get better the more, of the ONE can, I drank. Saw a 5 litre dispenser in Tescos, will be sending one back to the Philippines in my next cargo box.

I don't drink much proper beer but that is a nice drop.
Must be ice cold though for me .

Most Adnams pubs do cracking food too .
 
Nah, we'll still have plenty of decent pubs
Plasterer's Arms
Ribs
King's Head
Wig and Pen
Fat Cat trilogy
Alex
Red Lion (multiple)
Artichoke reopening

The Brickies as a pub is DIRE, but popular music venue.

The Lee Vasey big band on a Sunday lunch is well worth a visit <ok>
Still sad to see 3 closing though, especially if you live in the golden triangle
and count the York or the Garden House as your local.

You OBVIOUSLY haven't been in either lately - the Garden House has MASSIVE potential, but very badly run. Too many punters around there prefer the proliration of Gastropubs in the area.
Thank Goodness for the Alex. Eaton Cottage and the Beehive. <ale>
 
Thanks for that Cromer. I tried it when I was in their Brewery Tap last week - not impressed. [HASHTAG]#unusual[/HASHTAG]

Edit - Good Grief!!! EI is closing another 2 Norwich pubs- Gibraltar Gardens and the Woodman. Thank goodness that we'll still have some decent pubs left.

I heard on the Grapevine that the Brickies has already been bought by Tesco and I imagine it will become a 'Jacks' to rival the Aldi a few hundred yards down the road.
