The Newport Inn, Braishfield

An almost unique pub. for a near match (without the plowmans) -the closet thing being a pickled egg, try the Red Lion, Snargate, Kent. Still run by the legendary Doris, having been in the family since 1910 and barely changed in the intervening years.

The Red Lion, Snargate

Last weekend I paid another visit to this pub. Thanfully nothing had changed and Doris was there holding court as befits her legendary status, leaving the day to day operation in the capable hands of her daughter, Kate.

The Goachers Imperial Stout was sublime and my partner re aquainted herself with the Double Vision cider. An oasis of calm in this troubled economic world. Long may this remain.
