A new Spoons and a quality heritage Pub. The first time in Bristol since October 2021.

The Project, Caerphilly, their birthday party. Lots of Vault City sours and, on the food front, barbecue chicken on skewers with dirty fries. The aircon was lovely. Hats off to The Project and Happy Birthday.

Your Standard Saturday Hybrid Beano. My Thanks to Aldi and The Project, Caerphilly.

When May is rather wet and not very early summery, it's time to revisit pubs that you haven't been to since June 2021. The Rickards. What a great place that is. Twt Lol Lollfest glasses and Grey Trees beer. Then on to the Otley, where I got waved at. Still haven't fixed the WiFi though, but the beers are really rather good. Nearly lost my bus pass as well.

Hybrid Beano. Three cans at home and caught the bus to Caerphilly, for a quality afternoon at The Project.

Who is the baldie? mb03 May Day Bank Holiday Sunday. In The Waverley, Chippenham.

mb03 2026. May Day Bank Holiday Weekend in Chippenham.

Chippenham. Not a bad little place for a mini beano. Saturday is your best day for The Prince of Wales.

The return to The Godfrey Morgan, Newport after 11 years. A Green, Spring Beer and Wings and Chips for lunch. Quality Ales at Weird Dad later including a 9.9% ABV from White Hag.

Blackwood for The Sirhowy and The Spoons App. Caerphilly, Food Festival and Gloop. Oh! and there wasn’t another one.

A Saturday in Newport with Quality Beers with Quality Names. Chips from The Harbour Fish Bar made with Maris Pipers. Dave in Weird Dad had some wonderful Fine Ales in Stock. Really rather Windy.

Quality Easter Beanoing in Portishead #mb02

When things go wrong, a Classic MicroPub, The Settle Inn is still there for you.

mb02 for Easter 2026. The return to Portishead. Spoons Wings and the first visit to The Settle Inn. Will be returning to.

You really need fully functional tech to have a quality Beano. Software bug in UpNote and awaiting the fix to approved by Apple. Weird Dad in the Pen and Wig and Welsh Cakes and Currywurst in The Project.

Caerphilly and still not fully configured MacBook Neo. The Malcolm Uphill, Lockup Bottle Shop and The Project. There was a Welsh Cake too.

Super Sunny Saturday and the penultimate day of The Wetherspoons Spring Beer Festival. They have all been pretty good. The Project for Hard Ginger Ale, Welsh Cakes, Blue Sours and Currywurst. Lovely.

One Day in Chippenham and two days in Bath.

Last gasp of Winter Sun. First visit to the Lockup Bottle Shop and Welsh Cakes in The Project.

Rugby Saturday 21 February in the Project, Caerphilly. Italians, Scottish and a rather Fine Currywurst with Sauerkraft.
