Good Beer Guide Tick - #479
One week after Super Saturday and I get my first post lockdown Good Beer Guide Tick. The Lion Inn in Winchcombe is expecting visitors.
Social Distancing at the Lion Inn, Winchcombe |
I follow the Cotswold Way along Puck Pitt lane and out into the gorgeous countryside of the lower slopes of Salters Hill.

Hailes Abbey from the other side of the fence |
Looking across to the Maverns from Haile on the Hill |
I approach the C15th Coaching Inn with some trepidation. Of the handful of pubs that I have been to over the last 8 days, each has a different approach to the rules. The Lion Inn's website states that you must book a table - but does this apply to the thirsty Geocacher that just wants a pint?
I am met at the door and ask nervously for a drink in their garden. After hand sanitising and a passing on of details, I am escorted to their delightful garden. After a few short moments, a lady delivers my requested Wye Valley Butty Bach.
This is what I normally have in my yet to re-open local. Four months of various bottle deliveries from the UK, Belgium and Germany is forgotten at the first sip.
When it is on form, you cannot beat a hand pulled Butty.
