The Anonymous Widower

Living with Pubs

In all the places C and I lived we never had a pub within walking distance, except when we lived in St. John’s Wood and the Barbican.  But in those cases we could not either not afford to go out for a drink, or pay for a reliable baby sitter.

Here though, I have four pubs, two restaurants, a deli with a cafe and several other cafes within two minutes walk.  I actually have a pub on the corner, but it doesn’t serve my type of drink; proper cider.  I’;ve only been there once and although it looks nice, it just isn’t my type of pub.

Last night, I walked two minutes away and found a real pub with what looked like decent drink and food. The building was also in the style of many London pubs, that have been immortalised in East Enders, but it had a rather nice courtyard around it, that will be a nce place to drink in warmer weather.

I had a decent half of Addlestone‘s cider, talked to the chef about gluten-free food and then walked home.  I shall try some of the food in the next week or so.

So as I had a nice snack lunch with a friend in one of the other pubs, that makes two that will satisfy my taste within walking distance.
