Back on-topic ...

The Angel at Blyth served up a very nice pint of Hardy & Hansons Kimberley Bitter last Sunday and the nearby Red Hart had the excellent Cottage brew Elise available. Happy days

That takes me back to when we used to stop at the mother-in-law's caravan near Butlins at Skegness.
The whole area of Ingoldmells was like supping in a desert apart from the Cherry Tree just across the road which sold the brew you mention. 24 years I had enjoying it. Happy days indeed.

Many years ago, I once had a few days there and yes, the Cherry Tree was indeed an oasis in the desert.
