Brixton chitter-chatter and news Nov 2011

I would always go for Aspalls/Addlestones/Stowford Press which are the most widely available decent ones - or at least ones I like.

If not I'll have Strongbow if that's all there is.

Occasionally you see Symond's Yat, Old Rosie, Westons (the latter two usually in bottles) and various others.

Won't drink Magners/Bulmers unless I'm desperate.

Won't drink kopparberg or any of the really sweet fruity ones at all.

I'm no connoiseur really.. just like what I like. However, just another plug for one of my favourite day trips... http://www.middlefarm.com/
 
i tend to drink strongbow but that's only because it's widely available. Anything else is usually preferable - Stowfords or Symonds would be my choice to be on tap. In fact, Westons would be my choice on tap but I don't think they do it by the barrel.
 
50 cheeses? :eek: :D

Bee... it's the best place in the world.. honestly.... the most amazing farm shop type thing - 50 cheeses is just the tip of the glutton's iceberg... MILLIONS of ciders, cream teas, a little cafe/restaurant and you can see them milk the cows and feed the lambs and lots of different kinds of chickens and other animals.

Just up the road is the National Wine Collection which is v. nice but very very posh. Middle Farm is just fun! Oh and they use the field next door for a camping exhibition once a year which is just full of camping porn.
 
Off to the Trinity :)

Yeah!

Are you sure you've got the right Trinity, Ed? Cuz that sort of customer segment really hasn't been my experience.
 
Sadly it's been my experience of the Trinity. Alongside some truly horrible food and terrible service to boot - notably bringing an undercooked chicken sandwich for lunch and then throwing a tizzy when asked to take it back to the kitchen. After a brief delay they fairly threw money at the table as recompense, which given that my other half was surrounded by work colleagues already eating didn't seem a particularly lovely bit of customer service.

Not my favourite pub in Brixton it has to be said.

Blimey. Only ever had a burger there, nothing special, but it was cheap so wtf. Never had any issues with service. For the record it's not my pub of choice in Brixton either, I only ever go after footie.
 
I completely forgot and got on a bus up the hill... I had kippers on my mind... may pop down later.
