The Jolly Farmer, Worplesdon

I had the hump big time last time I was in here, but I'm more or less over it now.

Nice lunch today (duck risotto) and a couple of pints of Wild River - Fuller's excellent attempt at replicating an American craft IPA.

This beer is going to be available thoughout what passes for our "summer" these days. Lovely pint - but any other oldloafers out there remember 1976...?

A Beefeater / Premier Inn and does what it says on the tin perfectly well. Beer was more than acceptable. I had the St Austell Trelawny - very enjoyable, and they had two other cask beers on as well. Burgers were fine too.

It's part of a chain so don't expect quirky individuality or surprises, but it does what it is supposed to do. Nice garden too overlooking a lake.

Hmm. Rang the day before to check how late they would be serving food on the Tuesday of the Jubilee bank holiday, Was told 7.30pm. When we got there at 7pm they said they had decided to stop at 6pm instead "because they had been so busy".

Not impressed. Had a pint of Pride anyway which was ok, but then had to go on somewhere else to get something to eat...
