Our first pub on our tour was the
Hope and Anchor, which was
a long stretch away from the rail station but our furthest pub on the crawl.
From the outside, it seemed just a small local’s pub, and from the outset we weren’t
expecting much as we had already discovered that it belonged to a pubco. Inside
was a singular hand pump selling real ale, but we were amazed to see that it
was Woodforde’s Wherry; all the way from Norfolk; and it was in fair nick as
well. As it was our first pub after a long journey, we settled back to watch
the football, which seemed to be the highlight of the back room. The front room
seemed very crowded with its three people, and we wondered how this pub would
cope in busy periods. The local was enjoying a spot of low league soccer;
though he thought it odd that we weren’t cheering anyone on.
