New Tesco Food Magazine Features MyFavouritePubWalks.com

www.MyFavouritePubWalks.com in New Tesco Food Magazine

If you have seen the newly launched Tesco Food magazine, then I do hope you noticed us on page 11. Their editor asked us to suggest three of our favourite walks to pubs and you can see the ones we chose in the extract below.

(click image to enlarge)

All those really get my gastric juices flowing and I hope they do the same for you. The detailed route directions can be found by clicking on the names of the pubs below:

PLOUGH AND HARROW, Monknash, Glamorgan
JOLLY FARMER, Cookham Dean, Berkshire
BELL INN, St Cross, Winchester, Hampshire

If you see us appearing in any other publications then please do tell us. We discovered by accident that we had been mentioned recently in the BII Business (the magazine of the British Institute of Innkeeping) and have now started gathering together the ones we know about which also includes the Ramblers' Walk magazine and The Publican trade magazine . If you are interested in seeing these then just click on Press and Media Coverage page.

Latest Pub Walk... via River Whitewater and Greywell Moors to The Fox and Goose, Greywell, Hampshire.

Latest Pub Walk... via River Whitewater and Greywell Moors to The Fox and Goose, Greywell, Hampshire.

This circular pub walk from the Fox and Goose in Greywell is one of a series produced by the pub itself which is demonstrating a keen interest in catering for walkers.

Located a stones throw away from the Basingstoke Canal and River Whitewater, perfect if you enjoy riverside walks, this 16th century inn prides itself on its mostly traditional English fayre with the emphasis very much on home-made dishes.

As a Hampshire lad myself, this is a pub walk I am aiming to try out very soon so if you beat me to it, please add a comment to say what you thought..

To download full details of the route click on Fox and Goose pub walk.

Country Pub of the Year Awards - I always knew Hampshire pubs were the best!

Country Pub of the Year Awards - I always knew Hampshire pubs were the best!

OK, maybe not all Hampshire pubs are better than all others but the best are no doubt up there with the best nationally. This is confirmed by the fact that they feature as two of the only five short-listed pubs in the Country Life magazine sponsored Country Pub of the Year Awards run in association with Waitrose.

The Thomas Lord at West Meon is set in the picturesque Meon Valley while The Peat Spade is in Longstock, near Stockbridge, near to the Longstock Water Gardens and overlooking the River Test.

Now I’m looking for pub walks for each of these as their locations are both perfect for a Sunday stroll. I hope to add them to this blog shortly and they will be included on the website under Hampshire Pub Walks. Suggestions welcome as always!

The other three contenders are The Pigs at Edgefield in Norfolk, The Mason’s Arms, Cartwell Fell, Cumbria, and The King’s Head Inn in Laxfield, Suffolk. I have many other Suffolk Pub Walks but not one for The King’s Head yet but now working on that one too!

Pub Walk to The Black Boy in Winchester, Hampsire

This Week's Pub Walk... to The Black Boy in Winchester, Hampsire

Explore the ancient capital of Wessex including not only the river and cathedral but 'King Arthur's Round Table' as well.

The Black Boy is a popular pub and worth a visit not just for good value home-cooked traditional food and real ales but also for its weird and wonderful collections (ladies, check out the toilet!). Off the traditional tourist trail, its a traditional pub with bags of charm, earning a place in The Good Pub Guide. The Black Boy has a particularly good reputation for its evening meals but at lunch times the menu is more limited.

To download full details of the route click on Black Boy Pub Walk.

Anniversary Pub Walk to the Beaulieu Road Inn, Brockenhurst, New Forest, Hampshire

Anniversary Pub Walk to the Beaulieu Road Inn, Brockenhurst, New Forest, Hampshire

One year on from the launch of MyFavouritePubWalks.com, we are planning our next walk in the New Forest and I thought it would be good to revisit the pub walk that was the inspiration for the website.

This is an easy circular walk through the beautiful New Forest, across some of its famous lawns, through mixed woodland with some great views across forest and moorland. Away from the Inn you may often see no other walkers on this route.

There is free parking opposite the popular Beaulieu Road Inn and Hotel which offers a good range of food and real ales.

For full details and directions go to Beaulieu Road Inn Pub Walk.

Farming Industry Devastated by New Foot and Mouth Outbreak

Farming Industry Devastated by New Foot and Mouth Outbreak

The diagnosis of a new outbreak of Foot and Mouth disease on a Surrey farm is a stunning blow for our farming community.

This comes just days after the Chief Medical Officer gave the all clear and lifted the Protection Zones put in place to control the August outbreak (see earlier post). It is a tragedy for British farmers just when meat prices were starting to recover.

According to this morning's Farming Today, the next 2 weeks are the busiest time of year for livestock farmers with most of the year's profit being made at the Autumn sales. It will also be very tough for them to cover the cost of winter feed for livestock that cannot be sold.

For the latest information on the outbreak and how it affects walkers, click on Foot and Mouth footpath closures.
