Sandwich Saunter

So a saunter into Sandwich is the plan for them today. Not too far for the poor old souls but there is, a bus back up plan. Anyway they make it, and Sandwich is a real joy of a place with churches, mediaeval streets, timbered houses and a river. Was a port back in the, day but like so many places in Kent the river got silted up so ships went elsewhere leaving a legacy of maritime buildings.

They went into the old Guildhall and an ancient helper lectured them on the history and roman finds in Sandwich for too long really, but hey it was his childhood times. More interesting was the old courtroom pretty much as it was when they hanged pub owners for selling shit beer - more of this later.

And yes the Earl of Sandwich invented the sandwich when he requested they put his bit of beef between two slices of bread, cos he was late for his tee time at Royal St George's Golf Course (probably). Mart said if it was oss meat between two soft buns it would ave been Muffin the Mule! One for you oldies there.

So Sandwich is nice they decided over a beer and lemonchello spritz by the river, so more exploring and he decides he wants to climb the church clock tower for a town view as he does, but the church has just closed so it's a no go. Further wandering and the micro pub has just opened so guess what......
It's the brewery tap of Time and Tide who seem to brew hundreds of beers with saft names, they select a few to taste and they are all thick cloudy fruity hoppy ipas and taste the same.
Cue a rant from his nibs about this problem, which the barman may or may not have heard. Luckily for him the court is not in session

Walk back to me in the oss field for a steak N chips night. What a life for them!Leer más
