The
PRATS make just a short trip to St Neots this weekend which will be the 2nd
of 4 Ouse Booze’s this season. The first was at St Ives a few weeks back in the
FAT, we travel to Kings Lynn on Boxing day and then return back to St Ives
later in the season to take on the Lilywhites.
There
will be a full complement of PRATS on this trip; there is always a good choice
of pubs in St
Neots. We’ll be parking up at the car park near Waitrose. Here we can start
an easy walking circuit of five pubs starting with one of the PRATS favourites the
Pig 'n' Falcon with 8 ales to choose
from plus a load of ciders.
Just
around the corner from the Pig is a Wetherspoons pub the Weeping Ash
usually good for decent priced ales and snaffle. Next port of call will be a
sister pub to the pig, the Hog & Partridge with about 4 ales on tap, last
time I was swilling them down in this pub it was called the Lord Russell and if
I recall it was predominantly Batemans ales on tap.
Along
and around the corner is The Olde Sun which was
the local Hunts Camra branch Mild/Dark ales pub of the year champion in 2014 so
well worth a visit. They have 5 ales available here, usually serving Woodforde Wherry
which is always a nice pint.
The
final pub on the circuit is the Coach House with 5 ales.
I
understand there may be ale at the ground, maybe our favourite Bloody Doombar,
never mind.
On
way home, well who knows, we will be dropping Pharp back home in Rushden so
maybe the Historical Transport Museum or the Green Dragon in Higham, you can
always get Oakham ales in here, but will be mobbed if there’s any footy on the
telly.
