The thing is, though, it<br \/>\ncan become a little boring and monotonous to be going out and<br \/>\nvisiting the same hostelries again and again&#8230;..and again. You get<br \/>\nto the point where it is almost a chore, rather than a pleasure, to<br \/>\ngo out for a couple of beers. With this in mind, I have been<br \/>\n\u201csniffing out\u201d a few places around the locality where we can have<br \/>\na bit of a \u201cjolly\u201d. The main problem to that in our part of<br \/>\nLincolnshire is the lack of public transport links, especially after<br \/>\nthe sun is on its downward trajectory. That, although problematic,<br \/>\nhasn&#8217;t stopped us altogether, just slowed up the process, and has<br \/>\nlead to more of an afternoon imbibing nature! So, what is out there<br \/>\nin our locality, beyond the boundaries of North East Lincolnshire&#8217;s<br \/>\ntwo biggest towns, Grimsby and Cleethorpes? Let&#8217;s have a peep.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">\n<br \/>Tetney Lock.<\/h4>\n<p>\nThis small village, not to be mistaken for its neighbour, Tetney (which also has a pub, <i><b>The Plough<\/b><\/i>), <\/p>\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiCZrcmYEZBepiVmjZFh77lTiiYXi7ZaDVDaZAwkM2iC_6P9jNJuvH_teWNkXly8ngPxSV-nA5tHQtJORGIDfvwWKD9wdp7S9EA_LbgtF8Sf3zinGdFWPyi_-VfjokmHAmc_A85SuZ4pNo\/s1600\/20160209_124550.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"112\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiCZrcmYEZBepiVmjZFh77lTiiYXi7ZaDVDaZAwkM2iC_6P9jNJuvH_teWNkXly8ngPxSV-nA5tHQtJORGIDfvwWKD9wdp7S9EA_LbgtF8Sf3zinGdFWPyi_-VfjokmHAmc_A85SuZ4pNo\/s200\/20160209_124550.jpg\" width=\"200\"\/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Walk to, or stagger back from<br \/>\u00a0The Crown\u00a0&amp; Anchor<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>is<br \/>\nonly around 6 miles from the Caravan Parks of Cleethorpes, by road,<br \/>\nor a 4 mile walk across public footpaths, bridleways and the odd field. We, my<br \/>\nrecently retired friend, Steve, and I, chose the latter. It was a<br \/>\npleasant, but rather cold February day when we set out on our<br \/>\njourney. The walk itself took about an hour and a half each way, with<br \/>\nbeautiful views of the Mouth of the Humber (no, not me, before you<br \/>\nstart writing your own script!!). There is a wealth of wading birds<br \/>\nand the like in this area, as well as the various sized ships either<br \/>\nheavily lumbering up to the deep water ports of Immingham and Hull,<br \/>\nor the smaller craft zipping in and out to the new growth of offshore<br \/>\nwind farms. As a boy, I used to make my way, usually with my dad, to<br \/>\nthe waterfront of the Humber, and watch the many trawlers, jockeying<br \/>\nfor position, waiting for the lock gates of Grimsby&#8217;s Fish Dock to<br \/>\nopen, sadly, just a memory now, as our fishing industry has almost<br \/>\ndisappeared. Back to our walk. We arrived a little further down from<br \/>\nTetney Lock, and strolled along the banks of The Louth Navigational<br \/>\nCanal, until we reached our destination.<\/p>\n<p>\n<b><i><br \/>\nThe Crown and Anchor<\/i><\/b> has been here since Victorian times and is the<br \/>\nonly pub in the village. After the locals, most of the daytime<br \/>\nclientele are either walkers or anglers from the adjacent canal,<br \/>\nalthough we have been told that the restaurant side of the business also attracts quite a few from the area on a night. On offer were \u201c<b>Doom<br \/>\nBar<\/b>\u201d and \u201c<b>Black Sheep<\/b>\u201d. There is a third beer usually on, but<br \/>\nnot today. We sampled both, and found them in good form. Not a bad<br \/>\nplace to have a wander to, but next time we might do it in the Summer<br \/>\nsun.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">\nBarnetby, Wragby and Brigg.<br \/>\n<\/h4>\n<p>\nI<br \/>\nlike Brigg. I have had many a good afternoon and night here, but it<br \/>\nhas become a bit of a bind to get here. There used to be a regular<br \/>\nbus service straight from Grimsby, to Sheffield, via this charming<br \/>\ntown. Alas, no more. The direct train only runs on Saturdays, to<br \/>\nserve demand from Brigg to Grimsby, so the easiest way is to get the<br \/>\ntrain to Barnetby, and either hope to catch the Wolds Villager bus<br \/>\nservice or, walk the 4 miles, mostly with the company of the noise<br \/>\nfrom the busy A18. My last visit was for a meal to bid farewell to<br \/>\nTracey, a good friend and former workmate, who had left to pursue a<br \/>\ncareer as a postie. I chose to jump on the train and do the walk,<br \/>\nhaving a stop on the way. Arriving at Barnetby station, I espied the<br \/>\n<b><i>Whistle and Flute<\/i><\/b> public house, just at the side of the platforms. I<br \/>\nam told that the tribute acts on here at weekends are quite good, and<br \/>\nalthough I didn&#8217;t pop in this time, I will visit here on my next<br \/>\ntrip. I left the town, passing by the <b><i>Railway Inn<\/i><\/b>, which appeared<br \/>\nclosed, and on to the A18. After 50 minutes, or so I arrived at<br \/>\nWrawby, the home of <i><b>The Black Horse,<\/b><\/i> and <i><b>The Jolly Miller.<\/b><\/i> During the<br \/>\nweek it is rare to find either of these pubs open before 3pm, as I<br \/>\nfound out! I arrived at <b><i>The Jolly Miller <\/i><\/b>just before opening time,<br \/>\nand was ushered round the back to the bar, where I found a selection<br \/>\nof three real ales. My choice in here, to help quench my thirst<br \/>\nbefore setting out on another mile or so&#8217;s stroll, was <b>Bateman&#8217;s<br \/>\n\u201cPilgrim Fathers IPA<\/b>\u201d, an Ale of 4.4%, which was light,<br \/>\nrefreshing a full of punchy grapefruit notes. The young lady serving<br \/>\nin here was polite, chatty and very friendly. I enjoyed my 20 minutes<br \/>\nin here. One to return to.<\/p>\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiZEKyhbBBW5M_SD97pIynKcMiOJSsx4xVbgP4kEAE5g8c_BymihUb5UYfDmhUHIeTdOBk6pIdN8dEsGV51uJK3iIZFrL61umyfgoyAlkSujb4m1e0xuHakAy83W9fcLKEd1NH5OcOFTpo\/s1600\/20160516_154158.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"112\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiZEKyhbBBW5M_SD97pIynKcMiOJSsx4xVbgP4kEAE5g8c_BymihUb5UYfDmhUHIeTdOBk6pIdN8dEsGV51uJK3iIZFrL61umyfgoyAlkSujb4m1e0xuHakAy83W9fcLKEd1NH5OcOFTpo\/s200\/20160516_154158.jpg\" width=\"200\"\/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Mr Day outside his favourite local.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div align=\"LEFT\" class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">\n\u00a0I then stepped out to Brigg, and had<br \/>\nagreed to meet up with another ex-workmate, Steve Day, in his<br \/>\nfavoured local, <b><i>The Yarborough Hunt<\/i><\/b>, a <b>Tom Woods <\/b>pub. This place had<br \/>\na good, old fashioned feel about it, with many posters and ornaments<br \/>\nof a previous era on display. I now know why Steve feels at home<br \/>\nhere, he could be part of the d\u00e9cor, the silly old sod!  The beers<br \/>\nare mostly from the<b> Tom Woods <\/b>stable, but it does also have guests<br \/>\nAles on. I started on \u201c<b>Bomber County<\/b>\u201d at 4.8%  <a href=\"http:\/\/fozzy21.blogspot.co.uk\/2014\/09\/the-northern-lights.html\" name=\"(Reviewed Here)\">(Reviewed<br \/>\nHere)<\/a> , before joining Steve on \u201c<b>Lincoln Gold\u201d, <\/b>4%, the core<br \/>\nGolden Ale, with a nice fruitiness to the taste and a smooth,<br \/>\ngradually bittered long finish. Another beer to slake ones thirst on<br \/>\na hot day. After an hour of chewing the fat, and putting the world to<br \/>\nrights, including the fortunes of our beloved Grimsby Town FC, it was<br \/>\ntime to move on. My next stop was the former <b><i>Black Bull<\/i><\/b>, now<i><b> Dexter&#8217;s<br \/>\nAlehouse and Kitchen<\/b><\/i>, to meet up with for a meal and drinks with<br \/>\nTracey and the others. Dexter&#8217;s is a very compact bar, which lends<br \/>\nitself more towards eating, but there is room for the casual drinking<br \/>\nvisitor too. I ordered my beer,<b> St Austell \u201cProper Job<\/b>\u201d,<a href=\"http:\/\/fozzy21.blogspot.co.uk\/2014\/12\/it-was-only-winters-ale.html\" name=\"(Reviewed Here)\">(Reviewed<br \/>\nHere)<\/a> one of the reasonable range of three cask ales, and then we<br \/>\nsat down to have our meal and celebrate Tracey&#8217;s new job. The beer<br \/>\nwas well kept and the food more than adequate, and reasonably priced.<br \/>\nNot a bad place to pop in to at all. We then moved down the road a<br \/>\nlittle to the local J.D. Wetherspoon&#8217;s pub, <b><i>The White Horse<\/i><\/b>. The<br \/>\ninterior here is bright and airy, with a modern look, but, otherwise,<br \/>\njust a typical JDW pub. There are 7 cask pumps on display, and the<br \/>\nstaff are friendly. In here I had a 5% ale from the New York based<br \/>\n<b>Ithaca Beer Co. \u201cNut Brown Ale\u201d<\/b>, brewed in conjunction with the<b><br \/>\nCaledonian Brewery.<\/b> It is a very malty brew, with hints of chocolate<br \/>\nand coffee. The nut taste comes in the finish, and makes for a nicely<br \/>\nbalanced beer. Not too bad at all. I followed this with a pint of<br \/>\n<b>Ascot Ales \u201cAnastasia&#8217;s Exile Stout<\/b>\u201d. The taste of this 5% brew<br \/>\nis a nice blend of roast malt, chocolate and good strains of vanilla.<br \/>\nThe finish is sweet and smooth, with a tad of bitterness. I enjoyed<br \/>\nmy visit to Brigg, as I always do. Besides the pubs reviewed here,<br \/>\nthere a a few more, all within easy walking distance of the town<br \/>\ncentre. It is just a shame about those transport links from Grimsby.<\/div>\n<h4 style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">\n<br \/>Sunny Sutton on Sea via South Reston.<\/h4>\n<p>\nI have an Aunt who lives out near Alford, pretty much in the sticks.<br \/>\nThere aren&#8217;t a plethora of hostelries in her immediate area, but a<br \/>\nlittle way away you can usually find a village pub or two. In South<br \/>\nReston is the community hub pub <i><b>The Waggon and Horses<\/b><\/i>, which, besides<br \/>\nthe bar, also boasts a thriving restaurant, picnic and play area,<br \/>\ncaravan and camping site and a local shop for supplies. The Lounge<br \/>\nBar is roomy and wood panelled, with a selection of<b> Bateman&#8217;s Ales<\/b>,<br \/>\nand a house beer on tap. We only had a couple of halves, as we were<br \/>\nin the car, but it was noticeable what a busy village pub this is,<br \/>\nand an integral part of the local community, and passing<br \/>\nholidaymakers from nearby Mablethorpe.<\/p>\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhvITJ1_j5WFwTzg-f0s1qvnIkUD8kDf-0E80mA3mUUoC72qHDIZBHUfY72B-pmwkmbWH2ZEkj-2YoqBBYhLi81qirhRrQhRdr53RKJvl1K2ugPCgnlI45_wOeph9RfsuebJQaUo1xsrwI\/s1600\/20160715_221649.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"112\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhvITJ1_j5WFwTzg-f0s1qvnIkUD8kDf-0E80mA3mUUoC72qHDIZBHUfY72B-pmwkmbWH2ZEkj-2YoqBBYhLi81qirhRrQhRdr53RKJvl1K2ugPCgnlI45_wOeph9RfsuebJQaUo1xsrwI\/s200\/20160715_221649.jpg\" width=\"200\"\/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Bacchus beers on the bar.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>\nSpeaking of Mablethorpe, just next door is the small town of Sutton<br \/>\non Sea. This is a holiday resort in miniature, with a frontage of<br \/>\nabout a mile, nestling between Trusthorpe and Sandilands. You can<br \/>\ndrive through it within a blink of an eye. We, on the other hand,<br \/>\nchose to visit for a meal, and a few drinks, at a couple of<br \/>\nestablishments, and were quite pleased we did. Our first stop was for<br \/>\na meal at  <b><i>The Sea Breeze Restaurant,<\/i> <\/b>on High St. the food is well<br \/>\ncooked, well presented and very tasty. Beer, as well as wine, is<br \/>\navailable, either draught lager, or, as I chose, bottles of<br \/>\n<b>Bateman&#8217;s<\/b>. In stock was <b>\u201cXXXB<\/b>\u201d or<br \/>\n\u201c<b>Combined Harvest\u201d<\/b>, both sampled and both enjoyed. I have<br \/>\nreviewed both previously, so I shall not expand any further. After our meal we left, crossed the road<br \/>\nand entered\u00a0<i><b>The Bacchus Hotel. <\/b><\/i>What a gem of a place. We entered,<br \/>\njust as the quiz was coming to an end, and managed to squeeze in on a<br \/>\ntable near the bar. The beer range not only has guest ales but also<br \/>\nprominently features a couple of beers from the on site<br \/>\nmicro-brewery. It was these beers we sampled. First up was <b>Bacchus \u201cSutton Pride\u201d,<\/b> a 4.3% Bitter which is quite solid, to<br \/>\nbe fair. It isn&#8217;t a World beater but is a good malty brew, with sweet<br \/>\ncaramel balancing the bitterness well. The other brew on offer at the<br \/>\npump from this brewer was <b>\u201cSutton Blonde\u201d<\/b>, 4.2%. This is a light<br \/>\ntasting beer with a citrus bite to it. The finish is quite floral,<br \/>\nbut quite moreish. All in all, not a bad little place to drop anchor,<br \/>\nand I hope the brewery enterprise goes from strength to strength.<br \/><b><br \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>The Number 5 Route.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe Stagecoach No5 bus runs from Cleethorpes through to Immingham, which, after leaving Grimsby via The Trawl pub, runs down the B1210 and passes through the dormitary villages of Healing and Stallingborough. This route, which also runs to a reasonable time in the evening, opens up the Immingham corridor to 3 more real ale establishments. First stop is Healing, and <b><i>The Healing Manor<\/i><\/b>. Recently refurbished and improved greatly, there is no a pub on sitge, <b><i>The Pig and Whistle<\/i><\/b>, which, on my last visit, served cask ales, one of which is the <b>Tom Woods<\/b> brewed house bitter. Modernity is the feeling of this place, but stylish too. The next stop suggested is Stallingborough roundabout. Here you can go left and find the up-market <i><b>Stallingborough Grange,<\/b><\/i> featuring <i><b>Thatcher&#8217;s Inn,<\/b><\/i> which I haven&#8217;t visited in a while, or right to <i><b>The Green Man<\/b><\/i>. This is a Stonegate pub, and not only offers a range of ales, but also has a CAMRA card discount.The meals in here are also supposed to be very nice. There is another pub a little further down the B1210,<b><i> The Farmhouse,<\/i><\/b> but, although I pass it most days to and from work, I have yet to stop there.<\/p>\n<p>Add<br \/>\nto this little list the likes of Barton upon Humber <a href=\"http:\/\/fozzy21.blogspot.co.uk\/2014\/06\/england-fail-barton-by-rail.html\" name=\"(Here)\">(Here)<\/a><br \/>\n, Lincoln (soon to be re-visited), and Louth <a href=\"http:\/\/fozzy21.blogspot.co.uk\/2014\/12\/it-was-only-winters-ale.html\" name=\"(Here)\">(Here)<\/a>,<br \/>\nwhich are all a little easier to reach by public transport, along<br \/>\nwith a few villages along the way, things maybe are not too bad in the<br \/>\narea. With a little more effort by our local publicans to promote<br \/>\nreal ales (and to look after it better), or a more expansive and better timed public<br \/>\ntransport system, things could be a whole lot rosier.<\/p>\n<p>\n<b>Cheers and keep it &#8220;Real&#8221;<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0With the Real Ale pub scene in my home town at best being somewhat, erm&#8230;unpredictable, with a local choice of either of the 2 JDW&#8217;s (one being turned into a hotel and the other due to close) or a couple of other pub chain outlets, which are probably the safest havens for a reasonable variety [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":163385,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[137],"tags":[66541,3767,66542,1538,13747],"dealstore":[],"offerexpiration":[],"class_list":["post-163384","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-beer","tag-beermonsters","tag-blog","tag-lincs","tag-links","tag-local"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
