The Bell, Wendens Ambo

A warm welcome from the log fire, the landlady and the customers. The Six Nations on, which generated much banter. The usual ales (Wherry, JHB, and a 3rd I've forgotten!), very well kept. Loos clean and well stocked, garden tempting but too cold today, but we'll be back later in the year when it's warmer.

The Temeraire, Saffron Walden

We've tried the Temeraire on previous occasions, not least to use Camra vouchers. Beer always well kept and friendly staff. Hit gold today with good selection of beers (7 of 8 pumps in use, 3 of which were golden), my preference for Saffron Citurian, a very flavoursome 3.8%. Adnams American IPA and Morwen Radgie Gadgie, both 4.8%, didn't match the Citurian for flavour.
Six Nations on TV, not intrusive, food good quality pub grub.
