Oh be still, my beating heart:
High street food chain Greggs is to open its first pub serving exclusive beers and a menu featuring its classic bakes and sausage rolls.
Just when I thought there was no reason ever to visit Britishland again, they do this to me.
Then again, this first (and so far only) Greggs-based pub is opening in Newcastle-On-Tyne, which exists in my mind simply as a railway station one passes through en route to Edinburgh.
But… beer and Greggs sausage rolls?
Back, Satan; back, I say.
It’s just a Good Thing Greggs didn’t open their first pub in Devizes, Wilts.
The combination of steak bakes, sausage rolls and pints of Wadworth 6x… [exit, drooling]
Kim, should you make it over here, remind me to introduce you to the local Whisky shop. They do tastings. Extensive tastings. And there’s a Greggs down the street.
Back, Satan; back, I say.
do you want to have a a few wonderful years enjoying sausage rolls, beer and whiskey or many more years on a vegan diet drinking kombucha?
I resolved long ago to try to check out fast enough so as to not run up a big deficit (Zeroing out assets and debts would be a perfect resolution) but slow enough that people get used to the idea of me joining the choir invisible. In the meantime, I want to enjoy life and especially food and drink.
Better get over there before the upcoming Muslim government bans sausage, whiskey and beer…
No kidding.
You’ll be pleased to know that Wadworth have begun releasing 6X in mini-kegs (earlier this summer). My BIL in Wales has agreed to lay on several for my upcoming trip in October.
I don’t know if they’ll be allowed on the plane, but if they are, I’ll reserve one for you.
In 1985 I took a liter and a half of Chocolate Liqueur back from Austria. It was not carbonated and in my checked luggage. The customs agent in California only said that I will have to share. Since that was at least three lifetimes ago, I have no idea what is allowed now.
