The Flying Childers already appears elsewhere on this blog (under "Easter Walk") but is such a special pub that it deserves an individual entry. The attractive stone facade was festooned with a banner announcing the pub as Camra's 2012 pub of the year and it's easy to see why. A very warm welcome from an exiting regular, an open fire, a two-tiered lounge bar and a range of beers - most interestingly "Random Toss" from the Flipside Brewery in Colwick, Nottingham - provided a great atmosphere. There was also several interesting artefacts to provide mental stimulation above and beyond the discussion we had on the universe and everything. We didn't eat anything more than crisps and nuts but the pub does provide some range of freshly-prepared food. - we'd sampled some on the Easter Walk visit. An all-round great pub and one not to be missed.
In addition to the excellent beers they also sell a small range of cakes, bread, prepared meals and a selection of chutneys and sauces, most of which are prepared on the premises.
ReplyDeleteA small sample is on display in the entrance lobby. I can certainly recommend the spicy pasta sauce.
