richard Swinscoe, owner of the iron horse ranch house, mans the pumps. a diner in Market deeping, which combines the owner’s passion for motorcycles and americana with great food, great beer and great music, has moved to new premises. iron horse ranch house, formerly in the Market gate shopping precinct, has reopened on the high Street,
adjacent to the Stage. the new venue features a ‘theatre kitchen’ in the form of a Spanish charcoal oven, which can be viewed through a hatch at the bar – and serves a selection of steaks, ribs and chicken. at least two real ales and a cider are available including
iron horse iPa, which is brewed in Peterborough by bexar county brewery. Live music is on offer every weekend and the iron horse ranch house is open from 8am every day (bar from 12) until 11pm (1am Friday and Saturday). nwww.ironhorseranchhouse.co.uk

Werrington’s CAMRA Gold Award Winning Community Pubs
The Surrealist Sportsman’s Club david ‘dai’roll gets his hands on a ha’penny. one of the noblest pub games has to be Shove ha’penny. the board, possibly antique, stored with reverence behind the bar or with pride of place in the cupboard under the stairs. the five pre-decimal half penny coins, polished with vinegar to a golden burnish and held in an empty jam jar. the chalk on the darts’ scoreboard. the board usually has nine beds or horizontal strips across it, about one and a half times the width of the coin, and boxes at each end. a player nudges the coin from one end of the board so that they slide along.
those falling wholly within the bed are scored by placing a chalk mark in the box at the edge of the board. then the coins are returned to the bottom edge and the next player takes their turn. the winner being the first player to score three in every bed, though once they have scored three in one bed, any subsequent coins ending up in that bed
are scored to the opponent. the game can be seen as a distantly related version of hurling or even shuffleboard, played on cruise liners and it is recorded that King henry Viii lost large sums of money when playing ‘shuffle groat’, so take that as a warning. The Palmerston Arms on Oundle Road, Woodston will be holding its annual Shove Ha’penny Championships in January. If you know of any other pubs that play the sport, get in touch.

Pub News
over in oakham, Jd Wetherspoon opened its latest outlet during november and has been very busy. the captain noel newton owes its name to a former resident of the building. the old etonian rose to the heights of high Sherriff of rutland in the 1930s before selling the property to the royal british Legion. although very food orientated there is a wide choice of beers ranging in price from £1.99 to £2.45. the Plough at great casterton which closed last year is destined to become a treatment room for back sufferers. the lord westwood in hampton court, Peterborough was demolished in november. the other Westwood, the westwood hotel in Mayors Walk, is being converted into flats. other former Peterborough pubs possibly about to take on new roles include the boy’s head in oundle road, which is being eyed up by tesco, as is the Silver Jubilee in bretton. the dragon, Werrington was presented with a caMra gold award in october in recognition of the pub’s commitment to serving well-kept real ale and cider. Landlord Stuart Simmonds follows in brother andy’s footsteps after his pub, the Ploughman, received its second gold award in april. the gold awards mean that both Werrington pubs will now go head to head for the chance to win Peterborough Pub of the Year 2014. another brother, chris, who runs the Queen’s arms, brixham, devon received Most improved Pub from his local branch in 2012. the Straw bear in Whittlesey is holding a beer festival on 10-12 January to coincide with the annual Straw bear festival the owners of Star brewery were hoping to take delivery of their brand new plant at their premises on northfields industrial estate in Market deeping during late december. up to now the beer has been brewed on the former ufford ales plant now located in norwich. Planning permission has been granted to the Jolly brewer in Stamford to install a microbrewery. installation work is not expected to commence before the Spring. Stamford cider producer Jollydale has won a contract to supply its Mulled cyder to
Stuart Simmonds receives his CAMRA Gold Award for The Dragon, Werrington.
Lincolnshire co-op outlets. contrary to earlier reports, the burghley arms in bourne won’t be sold to Jd Wetherspoon – the lease has been bought by a local businessman. Just north of bourne, in Morton, the former king’s head pub has been bulldozed to make way for a co-operative convenience store. imagine the surprise of the locals then, when Marston’s announced that they were selling the pub immediately opposite (the lord nelson) for redevelopment as… er… a co-op store. it seems that rival development plans have been lodged by the Lincolnshire co-op on one side of the road, and the co-operative Wholesale Society on the other. this all happened despite the current tenant, John hailey, trying to buy the pub and keep it open. reports that the Five bells – the only other pub in this village of more than 2,500 inhabitants may also close, have been denied the black horse at elton has recently reopened by new landlord herbie rose and his daughter Jade. hambleton hall in rutland was recently voted third in the Midlands in the Sunday times’ Food List - the George hotel in Stamford came in at number ten.

Clockwise from left: The Dove Street Inn, which hosts beer festivals throught the year. The entrance to Briarbank Brewery. The bar at Cliff Quay Brewery Tap and its exterior in front of the former brewery.
chris Shilling makes a longoverdue visit to ipswich. home to two of britain’s best loved real ale pubs, ipswich is cheap and easy to reach from Peterborough. greater anglia runs a direct train, which only takes an hour and three quarters, with a four-person groupsave working out at £11.25 each. i was determined to make it to the historic former tolly cobbold brewery down by the docks, part of which was briefly resurrected as the cliff Quay brewery, but now home to the ‘brewery tap’. asking a passing student for directions to ‘the tap’ sent us to the very new looking
briarbank brewery on Fore Street instead. the three-barrel brewery launched in the summer of 2013, and its upstairs bar offers a range of beers brewed on the premises by robert Lewis-Pyke. at 24 years old, he’s surely one of the uK’s youngest brewers. Some of those beers are ‘craft keg’ but most are available as cask. one of them – the black horse Stout tips a wink to the building’s former role as a branch of Lloyds bank. the three beers sampled, hawksmoor, insanity claus and devil dodger were all in tip-top form, so it was something of a
wrench to move on. Should you be looking for something more familiar beerwise, you only need to cross the road – the Lord nelson opposite is a pleasant adnams house, appearing to appeal to large numbers of the local student crowd. it’s worth persevering on to the brewery tap on cliff Quay – there’s a sense of dereliction as you approach, as the huge 200 year old former brewery building is empty again – and earlier this year planning permission was granted to turn it into a complex of flats – but in front, painted pink, nestles the former brewer’s house which
a SUFFolk PUnch
is now a thriving pub and restaurant with a range of nine beers available on our visit. Six of these were branded either earl Soham, cliff Quay or tolly, all from the earl Soham brewery a few miles away, the guest beers coming from grain and humpty dumpty. the Fat cat on Spring road is a proper traditional boozer with up to 20 beers available direct from the cask, many are from east anglian micros. Loads of enamel signs and memorabilia adorn the walls and there’s a welcome lack of electronic ‘entertainment’. anyone who is familiar with the sister pub in norwich will
want to experience this place. indeed the pub is run by John Keatley, brother of colin who won caMra’s national pub of the year on two occasions, and the good pub guide’s ‘beer Pub of the year’ a record five times at norwich. our ultimate destination for the day – the dove Street inn, at the junction with St helens rd is well known to beer tickers throughout the land for its dedication to variety. Karen, ady and the team have recently won the Publican’s national cask ale Pub of the Year. there’s always a great range of beers to choose from, but the annual Winter ale festival provided
us with a choice of 66 beers and 12 ciders, not to mention a wide choice of hot meals. a sizeable crowd were enjoying the beer and ambience of this multi-roomed pub, with a large area under canvas – thankfully well heated on a very chilly afternoon. the dove Street brand seems to be growing, almost taking over the street, with its own brewery, homebrew Shop and guest house, which will no doubt come in very handy for those who’ve forgotten the time of the last train. The next Dove St beer festival is planned for 21-26 May.

O n t h e ( Ti m e ) l a s h A semi-regular visit to the pubs seen, however briefly, in Doctor Who.
the king’s arms, 25 roupell Street, london SE1 8tb 020 7207 0784 www.windmilltaverns.com/ the-kings-arms i first set eyes on roupell Street about eight years ago, while working down the nearby blackfriars road. the late-georgian terraced street and the surrounding conservation area regularly appear in tV dramas and played a big part in the 1988 doctor Who story remembrance of the daleks. now owned by the Windmill taverns group, this former taylor Walker house
maintains many of its original fixtures, although it has gone down the philosophical blackboard route and has quotes from homer and the like dotted around the walls. the small central bar is split between the airy saloon and small public bar, which is made even cosier thanks to the roaring open fire during the winter months. there’s a covered courtyard at the rear, which is available for hire, and is packed at meal times with diners enjoying thai food from Monday to Saturday and traditional roast dinners on a Sunday. While filming a scene for remembrance of the daleks under a railway arch behind
the pub, an explosive charge triggered several car alarms in the area. With residents believing it was an ira attack, the police and fire brigade were called out, only to see a dalek army emerge from the smoke. nowadays the only shocks you’ll experience are the beer prices. the £4 pint level was reached and breached some time ago. While each of the nine cask ales are well-kept, so too are the Shepherd neame ales at the rose & crown nearby on colombo Street. and with Masterbrew at £3.25 a pint, not to mention more down-to-earth staff, i know whose bar i’d rather prop up.

top of the Pops 50 th anniversary by Patrick humphries & Steve blacknell, Mcnidder & grace, hardback, £24.99
When i was a teenager, my father constantly nagged me about my taste in music. “call that singing? that’s not singing, that’s shouting,” was one of his kinder sayings. When my daughter is old enough, it’ll be time for me to mock her tastes. but instead of complaining about ‘disgusting’ behaviour (been there, seen it, got the t-shirt), i’ll more likely moan how bland the acts of tomorrow are. You see, since Top of the Pops was taken off the air, young british bands have had nothing to aspire to in terms of dress or performance. to mark the 50 th anniversary of the show’s debut, this book is the definitive look at the programme, interviewing those involved in front and behind the camera during its 42 years as a weekly show. it’s interesting to note that there are two paragraphs on gary glitter, which are two more than there are on Jimmy Savile who only gets the odd name check. While recent allegations and investigations make Savile worthy of ‘unperson’ status, he was the show’s original presenter, a role he regularly reprised over the next 20 years, and was responsible in part for its success. a recent poll for cadbury’s found that 41% of respondents wanted to see Top of the Pops
“There's one special one, beautiful Babs. Dunno what her name is.”
return to our screens. this, of course, is discounted by the bbc ‘suits’ quoted in the book who cite a devalued chart and 24-hour satellite music channels as a reason for not bringing it back beyond the christmas specials. had the show’s format not been tinkered with so many times since the 1990s – ‘andi Peters’ fingerprints were arguably on the smoking gun,’ is an apt quote – and moved from thursday to Friday nights, to a slot opposite Coronation Street, and later Sundays on bbc 2, there’s little doubt in my mind that viewers would continue to tune in week in, week out. if only for the father of the house to shout at the screen, “is that a boy or a girl?” Fings ain’t wot they Used t’ be: the lionel bart Story by david & caroline Stafford, omnibus Press, hardback, £19.95 despite his musical Oliver! continuing to be performed on amateur and professional
stages across the world, composer Lionel bart died in reduced circumstances. Much of this was down to the transfer of his rights to that and other successful works to fund Twang!! – his ill-fated robin hood musical – and a lavish lifestyle. by interviewing colleagues and friends such as tommy Steele, cliff richard, dudley Sutton and barbara Windsor, and taking advantage of bart’s well-organised personal archive, the Staffords have created a book that shows bart as a Jekyll and hyde character, prone to pushing the envelope of human tolerance, but radiating warmth and humour at the same time. With an addictive personality, bart got into everything from drugs and alcohol but thanks to his close friends, who were also able to unravel his finances, he cleaned up his act. although in later years, substance abuse appears to have been replaced by a constant craving for ‘food, glorious food’.
