Message RichTheVillan beers 10685 º places 101 º 05:57 Fri 5/31/2013 Originally posted by Theydon_Bois Mini Update ... I’ve been in touch with Cotteridge Wines and suggested a small tasting event with snacks etc for our visit. They have kindly agreed and will be laying on some beers and nibbles. I will look to tweak the final schedule to allow for a good 45 minutes or so at Cotteridge Wines. Based on the above maybe the buffet wont be necessary, what does everyone think?

Message Theydon_Bois P admin beers 40505 º places 1239 º 06:14 Fri 5/31/2013 I’m presuming it will just be crisps and nuts, I’d like to stick with a buffet at the Waggon myself, beer don’t soak itself up !!!

We could always skip this venue if necessary, Sarah Hughes beers are always doing the rounds at festivals and are probably the most commonly seen at festivals in the London area of all the breweries we’ll visit on this crawl.

I’d like to keep it in if possible. It’s a place I’ve meant to visit for years but never got round to.
Message Theydon_Bois P admin beers 40505 º places 1239 º 06:41 Fri 5/31/2013 Yeah - no worries Chris, just surprised it would be so busy not long after opening. Perhaps it’s family dinner type stuff?

It can be tricky in there on Saturdays at any time of day. But well worth the wait.
