The Vic was very on song, liver and bacon very good even though NaTCH couldn't find any bacon and the new barmaid was making a committed effort to be sociable which is very admirable.  (Last visit 21/11/06)

Huntingfield is a charming village and though a bit remote there was a healthy lot of patrons in the pub, perhaps because of the Tuesday lunchtime special of all main courses £4.50  Arthur the enormous mastiff dog had taken exception to Dudley for some reason though this only manifested as some growling (which shook the floor) and walking out of the room in protest.  NaTCH and John B enjoyed on song Adnams though for Adnams with a surprisingly tall head.  NaTCH got a massive chicken casserole whilst John had something Italian not as massive with chips and salad.  Conversation included how John had emphasised in the Halesworth builder's yard that it had to be cut 32 exactly so it was cut 31.5  AfAR from Richard V.  (First visit)

Lovely day for it and the motorcyclist who pulled into the car park with Nick and NaTCH turned out to be Richard V.  Other lunchers were The Brewer , The Brewer's accountant Andrew and Goddess with Max.   The swordfish proved too popular (it's meaty rather like fresh tuna but pale in colour) and one of us had to make do with a magnificent liver and onions.  Inevitably much gossip about the audio industry, the Tunstall Green Man and the Blaxhall Ship have both changed hands, Terry and Barbara still have the D&D on the market but selling a pub takes time, and Goddess quoted the excellent Ted Ray one liner that when he was a lad his family was very poor but they bought him a cap so he could look out the window.

Bit of hail on the journey there.  Chums present John B, new playmate Nick, The Brewer, NaTCH and Matt.  Katherine also arrived with Debbie but that seemed to be just coincidence.  The Queen's is a bit restauranty but well kept Adnams and Woodfordes' Wherry.   Conversation included attempting to explain to The Brewer the difference between Arnie and Rocky ... not easily done.  AfAR from Richard V (prepping for Frankfurt).  (First visit)

Not particularly cold but one those winter days when it rains all day and is dark at three for The Brewer and NaTCH to visit this somewhat remote and recently reopened pub.  It has been made over in gastro pub style but still has public/saloon bars, a surprisingly large restaurant at the rear, friendly staff and draught Adnams, Adnams Explorer and slightly over chilled Adnams Old which we still enjoyed ... soon to have ESB beer.  When we said we'd sit in the armchairs the barman (landlord?) volunteered "Comfortable just like home".  "Not at all like my house" The Brewer replied "except neither of us have carpet."  AfARs from Hugh (in Dublin drinking that filthy Guinness stuff), Spadge (collecting Lotus Élan from Biggin Hill) and John B (who won his case).  (First visit)
