Good call. The Prince of Wales at Foxfield is on the Barrow-Millom/Carlisle railway line and the train stops right outside the pub ( if you tell the guard you want to get off! ) ! Could well be incorporated into the Barrow awayday?
PS What won beer of festival, Wilf?

Not sure (only had 19 half pints on the Friday) so I may have missed 181 . Understand that Barnsley Bitter (Acorn) won The Yorks title. Thats why I like the Plough on West laith Gate( Next to The Tut) Excellent pint of BB kept by Rod & Val.

You can remember a specific beer after 9.1/2 pints?!? I'm very impressed!

Noticed on your location you're into Bateman's beers.

At the Aldi in Rotherham they're selling bottled XXXB and some other speciality ones, one prefixed Autumn whose second name escapes me, Combined Harvest and Spring Goddess. All quality beers for £1.29 for a 500ml bottle.

Might be worth paying your local Aldi a visit.

Mrs Grimshaw returned from the Aldi last weekend with 12 Batemans XXX pale ales and 12 Wychwood Organic pale ales. . Batemans have a brewery trip open 7 days from 1100 - 1500 out at Wainfleet. They have a bar and then an eating area with award winning pies etc. Not been yet but it has to be done I suppose Love the idea of the Barrow trip. Do they do B&B at that establishment?

The good news is ,yes they do but as far as p.t is. concerned, Foxfield appears to be shut down on Sundays after 5. .

Ah But isn't the Barrow away game on a Friday 7.30 K O.?

While our CAMRA brethren were hiding away in the Tut and the Little Pluff drinking weak beer, I was drinking mester's beer at the Gatehouse.
Wentworth Brewery's Rampant Gryphon at 6.2% abv, a session beer for serious alcoholics like me who want to live the part of a beer-fueled bummer.

A Beer-Fueled-Bummer who now has the advantage of a Bus Pass

Excellent choice too. I bet one or two in Barnsley would not take to kindly for saying BB is not for grown up's

Shush!
I wish I had a video of me walking down the steps from the bar in the sky with a full pint all the way down the concrete steps to my seat on the front row.
Health and safety or what.
Scary.
Another good reason for opening the concourse bar.
