Pub News
Peterborough’s latest micropub is now open. Housed in the Grade II listed former Ladbrokes betting shop in Church Street, just off Cathedral Square, the Stoneworks cask and bottle shop specialises in craft beers in a vast range of strengths, mainly from the UK with a few overseas varieties (such as the delightfully named Yeastie Boys). Unlike hand-pulled ‘real’ ales, craft beers are served at a cooler temperature (typically 4C) from 30 litre pressured barrels. Wines, gins, whiskies and craft sodas are all available, but food is limited to speciality snacks. Landlord is Steve Saldana, known locally as the brewer at Bexar County brewery. Only one Bexar brew was available when we visited, but with the list about to be increased from 14 to 22, plus a couple of ciders, this will surely change. The pub is open from 12pm-12am daily (1-5pm Sundays). The award-winning Hand & Heart in Millfield, Peterborough has been put on the market by current owner Enterprise Inns.

He told R&B he’s keen to develop the wet side of the business with seasonal cocktails, gin collection, fine wines and club nights – television favourite Mary Berry has agreed to be a judge at the forthcoming ‘bake-off’ competition. Upstairs are seven well-appointed letting rooms and outside is a courtyard garden and car park. Downstairs is a soundproofed cellar bar, ideal for functions. Described as an “eclectic British pub at the heart of the community” the Mill Street opens for breakfast at 7am daily. Three real ales are currently supplied from the local Grainstore Brewery. Rutland Camra’s 6th annual beer festival attracted over 900 visitors to the County Museum in Oakham. Next year’s event will be held at the same venue from 22-27 June.

Plans for two homes on land behind the Waggon & Horses at Caythorpe have been rejected – councillors have suggested that the development would be the “kiss of death” for the business. In Spalding the Priors Oven – the area’s first micropub – has been awarded Pub of the Year by Fenland Camra for its “strong commitment to real ale, mostly from local brewers.” Boston’s new pub – the Chain Bridge opened in July.

O n t h e ( Ti m e ) l a s h A visit to the pubs seen, however briefly, in Doctor Who. Queen Elizabeth Hall Southbank Centre Belvedere Road London SE1 8XX 020 7960 4200 www.southbankcentre.co.uk Now considered a design classic, the Brutalist architecture of the Southbank Centre was once futuristic looking enough to appear on both Blake’s 7 and Doctor Who. For the latter programme, its concrete walkways stood in for a 26th century prison in the 1973 Jon Pertwee adventure The Frontier in Space. Although Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room at Queen Elizabeth Hall and Hayward Gallery – which with Royal Festival Hall make up Southbank Centre – are currently closed for redevelopment until next year, the Queen Elizabeth Hall Roof Garden remains open during the spring and summer months. Created in 2011 to mark the 60th anniversary of the Festival
of Britain, the garden is maintained by Grounded EcoTherapy – a charity that helps those who have experienced homelessness, mental health and addiction problems turn their lives around. Access to this “green oasis among the Brualist architecture” isn’t by Tardis but by a set of yellow-painted concrete stairs to left of the Queen Elizabeth Hall’s entrance. There’s everything you’d expect from a public
garden, including grass, fruit trees, nesting birds and a wildflower meadow that has attracted several species of butterfly including the rare Painted Lady. There is a café bar here, serving snacks and drinks, including wine, Pimm’s and Prosecco, however the choice of beer and cider is restricted to bottles of Birra Moretti and Magner’s. Luckily, you can bring your own picnic along, and with an extensive real ale and craft beer selection on sale at Marks & Spencer at Waterloo station, I was able to soak up the sunshine with a can of the Harbour Brewing Co’s American Pale Ale. With the garden reliant on donations to keep it open, I donated the difference between the price of the can and bottle of Moretti to tickets.southbank centre.co.uk/support/donate I suppose it’s not to dissimilar to paying corkage in a bring your own restaurant, but I can’t remember ever being asked by a waiter if I qualify for Gift Aid.

real ales are usually available, the only permanent beer coming from the local Phipps NBC. The rest are a mix of local micros and better know brands from the likes of Kelham Island, Oakham and Abbeydale and a real cider (from Gwynt y Draig on our visit). Keep an eye out for Alfie, the station cat, who has his own Facebook page Technically a club, a £1 day membership is charged, which is easily justified as all the beers were priced below £3 and there’s no fee to enter the museum next door. There’s always a friendly welcome from the volunteers here, and if you need more to do there’s a Northamptonshire Skittles table housed in a former Royal Mail coach, a gift shop and regular operating days where both steam and diesel trains operate along the half mile of track, soon to be extended to the nearby town of Higham Ferrers. An original Gresley buffet coach is also used on event days, and is available to hire at other times. A number of clubs meet at the venue. The society is close to purchasing further ex-railway property opposite which will provide more parking and exhibiting options – for now visitors are asked to use the free car parks nearby. Weekday opening times are 6-11pm (7.30pm Mon/Tues, 4.30pm Fridays), and all day from 12 noon at weekends. A Sausage & Cider Festival is held on August Bank Holiday weekend, and the annual Music and Real Ale Festival is held on 23-25 September, with 30+ beers and ciders plus live bands and a chance to ride behind the unique Blue Circle Aveling “traction engine on wheels”.

Melbourn bros All Saints Brewery
· Cask ale, beer, wines and spirits · Homecooked food · Handcrafted organic fruit beers · Victorian steam brewery tours · Courtyard garden · Dogs welcome
Open: mon-Fri 12-11pm Sunday 12-10.30pm 22 All Saints Street, Stamford PE9 2PA 01780 752186
The Victorian steam brewery and pub of century, Melbourn Bros in All Saints Street, Stamford has new managers; Lucy Howes (previously of St Mary’s Vaults in the town) and Yorkshireman Lewis Dalton took the reins during July. The Melbourn brewery supplied local pubs until the 1970s and continues to brew occasionally. These days the beers consist of bottled fruit beers, mostly for export. The beers are particularly popular in the US, but can be sampled in the pub. Apricot, Raspberry, Cherry and Strawberry varieties are all available, but draught beers and other bottled beers are supplied from the parent brewery Samuel Smith, based in Tadcaster. The pub has long had a reputation for good value brews, indeed a pint of the draught Old
Brewery Bitter remains below two pounds at just £1.90. Bottled beers come in a variety of styles and strengths right up to 8.9% including limited edition brews. Lewis’s cellarmanship skills ensure your pint is constantly served in tiptop condition Less well known perhaps is that the restaurant is one of the busiest in the Samuel Smith empire. Lewis and Lucy plan to develop this side of the business even further – a new menu is now available, served between 12-3pm and 6-9pm daily. Sunday roasts are served 12-5pm. “Good honest pub grub” is the theme. Prices are very reasonable – snacks start at £4.50, with favourites such as Sausage & Mash at £5.75, Chilli and Liver
& Bacon at £6.50, and a Sunday roast is £7.95 The pub is open all day from 12 noon, and as well as providing a variety of individual drinking areas, offers an array of brewery artefacts including original brewing legers, pub games including backgammon and chess, but in true Samuel Smith style, no TV or music. Well-behaved dogs and children are always welcomed, and brewery tours are available by appointment.
RaIlROVING NORWICH (NORTH) Norfolk’s county town, dubbed UK City of Ale, offers so many great pubs it’s impossible to do justice to the whole city in one day. Following our original trip to the south of the City (March/ April issue) it was time to switch to the northern half. Direct trains take just under and hour and a half, a day return from Peterborough on East Midlands Trains can be purchased on the day for just £20.90, and Groupsave discounts apply to parties of three or more. Pubs are diversely spread, and most don’t open before 12pm, so it
The Vine.
would be difficult to suggest an obvious crawl (other than the Magdalen Street area), but the Vine in the heart of the city does offer an 11am start, so we headed straight there from the station. A 10-15-minute walk via Prince of Wales Road, brings you to the Market Place, just beyond the Tesco Metro is Dove Street – home of the 19th century Vine, lovingly run for the past eight years by bubbly Thai host, Aey. Like Aey, the pub/restaurant is small but perfectly formed, with a single room and pavement
seating outside. Indeed it’s the smallest pub in town but enjoys a great reputation for good beer (Oakham JHB + three guests) and excellent Thai food (from £1 for prawn crackers, and lunchtime specials at £8.95). Early bird food offers are available Monday-Thursday, and a quiz is held on the first Tuesday of the month. No trip to Norwich is truly complete without a look in at the Fat Cat – twice holder of Camra’s national pub of the year. It’s location on West End Street, is some way from the city centre,
so we elected to take a £6 taxi ride from the rank alongside the Vine, and work our way back from there. It’s hard not be overwhelmed by the choice of beers in this pub, its glorious ambience is complemented by the full range of beers from the Fat Cat brewery up the road, 20+ excellently kept guest ales from across the country, 20 real ciders and a vast range of international bottled beers. At a little after midday, the pub was already very busy, and it proved a difficult task to move on. We were keen to take a look at Fat Cat owner Colin Keatley’s latest venture, the Fat Percy (formerly the Perseverance), a couple of minutes walk away in Adelaide Street. Just a few days away from opening when we visited, this pub represents a unique venture in that it is available for hire only. No need to hire a function room, you can hire the pub along with staff for a small fee. We took a look in at the Nelson in Nelson Street, but with just Doombar available, its clearly lost the will to compete with its illustrious neighbour.
Ribs of Beef.
The Fat Percy. Back towards town on Dereham Road lies the Reindeer, Norwich’s original ale house, and one time home to the Wolf Brewery. Now an Elgoods house, 10 beers are usually available from a variety of breweries along with four ciders. There’s a spacious dining area, and the old brewery now houses a large boardroom style dining/ meeting area. At the point where Dereham Road meets Barn Road, a left turn then a right into
Oak Street, brings you to the White Lion, which is owned by Cambridge’s Milton Brewery. Open all day every day, five Milton beers are usually available along with a couple of guest beers, a large range of bottled beers and up to 25 ciders and perries. The pub was awarded 2016 Cider Pub of the Year by Norfolk Camra. Magdalen Street is home to a number of great pubs, the first we found was the Ribs of Beef – a pleasant riverside location with
nine hand pulled beers from Fuller’s, Adnams, Oakham, Golden Triangle, Wolf,York and Brunswick, and ciders from Village Green and Westons. Back on Magdalen Street is another classic boozer – the Kings Head - now owned by Reedham brewer Humpty Dumpty. It still acts as a free house, and features a wide range of beers from local micros, local produce, wooden floors and bar billiards. Just off Magdalen Street in Cowgate, the Plasterers Arms is a pleasant corner local offering 10 real ales and regular live music. The Whalebone (11am-11pm) is a friendly multi-roomed local with six Norfolk ales, wood panelled walls and couple of resident canine friends. Waterloo Road is the home
of the renowned Duke of Wellington. Rarely will you come across a more welcoming local, and the huge range of around 20 beers is more reminiscent of a city centre ale house. Food is limited to pies and sausage rolls, there are real fires, folk music and traditional games. The annual beer festival which can feature up to 100 beers runs from 26 August to 4 September. The Fat Cat Brewery Tap on Lawson Road, in a large airy modern building featuring a spacious drinking area and a good collection of breweriana. Live music is a regular feature as are quiz nights. Three Fat Cat beers and Five Guest hand pumps are complemented with a further nine served straight from the barrel. Up to 20 ciders are also available. From here we headed back in
the direction of the station, taking in the Cottage on Silver Road, a decent restaurant/pub, popular for functions, and the Adam & Eve on Bishopgate. Close to the cathedral, this ancient building dates from the 13th century. The Dutch gables, quaint small rooms, panelled walls, and antique settles create a country cottage feel, though this pub is often very busy, favoured by legal professionals taking a break from the law courts opposite. Lovingly tended by landlady, Rita, the hanging baskets create a stunning display. If time permits, the Jubilee on St Leonard’s Road is worth a look. This two-roomed community local features six real ales and is popular with sports fans – it’s also a short walk from the station. Chris Shilling

Berni’s Back Inn Fashion In an age where restaurateurs find it acceptable to serve their food on slates, planks and miniature shovels, it seems a little rich referring to restaurant chains of the past such as Berni Inn as naff. I don’t know about you but I’d still be very happy to order its “signature” dishes of prawn cocktail and steak and chips, followed by a Black Forest gateau. Although visits to our nearest Berni Inn, Beefeater, Toby Carvery and Harvester have all merged into one, I do remember Berni for the free comics it gave out to its younger diners. I also know that I would have been the only member of the family to order the three courses listed above as my brother would always order soup (which was his undoing at a fish restaurant in York), while my mother went for the “healthier option” not only by having a jacket potato with sour cream instead of chips but for asking for a sugar free Connoisseur Coffee which guaranteed a warning from the waitress that “it might not float”. I doubt too that my parents ever ordered sherry at a Berni Inn, either in a regular measure or a schooner (which should not be confused with the new two thirds of a pint measure), preferring
the more sophisticated gin and tonic, followed by a bottle of Yugoslavian riesling to go with their meal. The first Berni Inn opened 60 years ago at the Rummer Hotel, a 17th century public house in Bristol city centre. Founders Frank and Aldo Berni were born in Bardi, northern Italy and after schooling in the 1920s, moved to Britain to work in their father Louis’ café in Ebbw Vale, Monmouthshire. The family had links to Wales ever since their grandfather Francesco escaped the Siege of Paris and set up a chain of temperance bars. In the 1930s, the brothers opened their own cafés with branches in Exeter, Plymouth, Bristol and elsewhere. However Italy’s involvement in the Second World War saw Frank and other brother Marco briefly interred as enemy aliens, leaving Aldo – the only one to hold a British passport – to singlehandedly run six cafés in addition to his war work in an agricultural nursery. Frank and Marco weren’t detained for long and in 1943 Frank and Aldo bought Hort’s, a prestigious bar and restaurant in Bristol’s Broad Street that
served such delicacies as oyster soup and Dover sole. Over the next decade, the brothers opened several more branches of Hort’s in the south-west of England and south Wales. Following a postwar visit to the US, Frank discovered the low-cost, family friendly steakhouses, which he replicated – right down to the red velvet decor and paper parasols used on puddings and cocktail – for the first Berni Inn. The success of the Rummer (a main course and dessert or cheese was originally 7s 6d) saw the brothers expand, and at one time there were almost 150 Berni Inns both in the UK and, surprisingly, Japan. The Bernis sold out to Grand Metropolitan in 1970 who in turn sold them to Whitbread in the 1990s, which subsequently absorbed the branches into its other chains including nearest rivals Beefeater. I’m quite tempted to go to the local Beefeater to celebrate the Berni Inn anniversary. And while there isn’t an official celebration, the chain’s current menu does feature prawn cocktail, steak and Black Forest gateau. As for schooners of sherry, I’m guessing that they’ve gone the same way as the Yugoslavian wine industry.

REVIEWS The Pub By Pete Brown, Jacqui Small, hardback, £22.50 “If you’ve grown up with pubs, you probably don’t realise how strange they are until you try to explain them to a foreign tourist,” writes Brown in this celebration of public houses of all shapes and sizes. He certainly does well in his attempt though, explaining a little of the history of the pub from the days of alehouses and gin palaces and beyond, with a look at their architecture and customs. There is also a look at almost 350 pubs around the UK, which Brown describes as a personal journey to places that often get as many bad reviews as good, normally due to the landlord being a “character” (although I can think of another word to describe certain so called eccentrics). Quite rightly, I don’t agree with all of Brown’s choices but there are many where I do. The majority of photographs are really good, however it would have been nice if more matched the descriptions provided. And Brown’s claim that John Wayne’s “only ever visit to a
British pub” was to The Star Inn at Sulgrave, Northamptonshire is a sign that he’s never watched Brannigan. Other than that, it’s an enjoyable read and the instruction “You order any pints of Guinness at the beginning of the round, never the end, followed by pints of cask ale and then any other drinks, giving your full order all at once rather than ordering one drink at a time” needs to be printed on cards to be given out to office parties at Christmas.
David Bowie is (Film) Back in 2013, more than 67,000 tickets were sold for David Bowie is – the Victoria & Albert Museum’s retrospective of the star’s extraordinary career – prior to its opening. Around 300,000 got to see the exhibition before it went on
a world tour, however for those of us who missed it, there is a some comfort in this film, which was filmed on the closing night of the exhibition and originally screened in November 2014. Archive footage including rare performances are interspersed with shots of the exhibits, interviews with fans (including famous ones such as Jarvis Cocker and Paul Morley) and Q&A sessions with the exhibition’s curators. Those latter sections do give this the feel of an overlong episode of The Clothes Show but shots of the exhibits, including using a mix of film and costume to recreate Bowie’s Starman performance on Top of the Pops and animated storyboards to offer a glimpse of the shelved Diamond Dogs film, make this a satisfying stopgap until the exhibition’s (hopeful) return to the UK.
David Bowie is (much-missed by most of us).
