For our Christmas drinks womble,
we headed back into Rugby. We started our tour at the Victoria after a steady ten-minute
gentle incline from the train station. As our second planned pub opened a while
later, we had some time to kill here and relaxed in the pool room chatting to
the locals as they came in. We particularly enjoyed the plush leather pews and
the tiled floor in the atmosphere of a sports pub, and we managed a few frames
too. We couldn’t see the full range of ales from this side of the bar; but as
it was initially quiet the barmaid was happy to help us out. I decided to warm
up with a traditional half of a light Oakham ale followed by a selection from
the house brewery. Memory forbids me from recalling what the house beer was but
I remember deciding that the former beer was in better condition.
