It was off to Masham to visit the Theakston Brewery yesterday morning. This was a trip for the adults with a trip for the young ones booked in the afternoon. I've never been a big lover of Theakston beer so this was an opportunity to try some different brews and find one I like. Lots of the pubs around here are either Theakston or Black Sheep and whilst we rarely go to the pub it would be useful to know which beers made the mark.
After lunch at the King's Head in Masham we headed towards The Forbidden Corner near Leyburn as a treat for the children. We'd never been before and were relying on word of mouth recommendation. It was good and very different, a strange sort of fantasy land with lots of unusual bits, although the 7 years old had a bit of a strop and didn't really enjoy it.
Just in case we hadn't had enough food for the day, at dinner time, we headed down the road to the Wetherby Whaler to let the southern poofters taste real fish and chips cooked in artery blocking beef dripping and not some healthy, tasteless, groundnut oil rubbish. Job done.
When did you take out Australian nationality? Isn't poofter one of their endearing terms along with Sheila, Gday and other equally annoying terms?! But I bet the fish and chips were fab.
