General - Pulled by Horses
Dave Clare and my parents are in Epsom this weekend. I met up with Clare and my parents yesterday in the newly opened Rising Sun. The beer choice is typical for a young’s house as we had expected but the ales are kept well. Clare Steve and I hit the RamRod apparently one of the last Wandsworth brewed beers in the system. Ian Swanson of Young’s tells me that the brewing of this fine ale may stop now the company have merged with Charles Wells which is sad news IMHO.
I must have taken advantage of the free beer and food yesterday as I was definitely well refreshed once we left the pub. Oh, just remembered, Steve and I cheekily asked for a ride in the cart parked outside the pub. Let me explain.
As it was the official opening of the newly refurbished Riser under Youngs ownership, Young’s pulled out all the stops and sent along the two huge dray horses Bomber and Buster. They were very friendly so as they were about to head back to Wandsworth I asked Harry the gent who’d looked after the animals for 32 years if we could have a ride. He was happy to do this so Steve and I plus a few more were pulled through the streets of Epsom by these beautiful creatures and it was truly enjoyable.
It’s a weekend of birthdays so I’ve got food in and plenty of Banks’ Original I’m sure its going to be a cracker.
More soon.
