General - Exploring a little of Kingston
I volunteered to spread the word about savetheriser at the Kingston beer festavle last weekend. Such was my devotion to duty that I went twice, once on the Friday evening and then on Saturday afternoon. I must say the atmosphere was most pleasant if a little hot because of a warm June. Everyone I went with commented on the number of young women drinking the various beers available, over 45 plus ciders and other drinks.
I wish to concentrate on the Saturday afternoon and evening as it was outstanding. After the festival Andrew and I wended our way through Kingston town centre and found ourselves guided by Trekker around the back streets of Kingston. We stopped at a local that reminded me strongly of the Rising Sun in its presentation. The beer was excellent and if you’re in Kingston the Canbury arms is a smashing place to spend a few hours.
We then continued to follow Trekkers instructions and found the
Willoughby Arms not too far away and took advantage of the beer and free wifi. We then returned back to the Canbury but rather than go in were tempted by the smell of lovely Chinese cooking from across the road.
The China Royal has to be one of the best oriental restaurants I have had the pleasure of eating in. the staff were beyond helpful even bringing us a menu out when we were looking in at the window. Jaid was made most welcome and once again the food was excellent. It cost £37 for a 4 set banquet and two beers. I will be returning very soon, I’m normally critical of Chinese restaurants but this was something else.
After our food we walked over to the Grey Horse which is a pub with live music I drank a poor pint of Young’s and listened to an interesting percussion/folk group called Wupa Dupa . It was really emotionally charged and impressive.
Somehow I was fortunate enough to get the 11:45 bus back to Epsom and walked home happily through the clean summer air.
