To ensure that my Cask Marque Ale Trail was making progress,
this week I decided to call in at the Blue Boar Inn just outside Stratford. It’s
a country pub in the middle of no-where, but it is also being listed in Binton,
Temple Grafton and Alcester! Not knowing what to expect; I had a vision of a
foody pub with a handful of weary locals. As I came in the car park was packed,
but as I entered the pub I heard the throngs of an acoustic guitar as the
evening’s entertainment was being set up for a local open mic night. I soon
found my way to the bar, where the locals were very friendly and got to know
everyone who came into the pub for a drink. The only problem was that they were
perched right outside the cask marque certificate that I wanted to scan; which
was the main reason that I chose to visit the pub! But despite being tied to
Marstons; the beer was in excellent condition and the atmosphere was very
pleasant. Try it yourself:
