2nd pub in Long Itchington.
Decoration was a bit misleadingly la-di-dah stripped pine and old chairs, but not a bad pub with decent beer.

The Blue Lias
Another Grand Union Canalside pub.
We had high hopes: Canalside and real ale, but in the end this just lacked atmosphere. Nothing actually crappy, it just didn’t hit the spot.
The pub has been extended a lot and seems sprawling outside, but is crowded inside even when half-empty: there’s some weird internal faux roofing and guttering as well. The beer was good though.
The Kings Head
Napton-on-the-Hill, Warwickshire.
Nice country pub. good food, Hook Norton beer, pleasant staff.
We’re away for a few days in a cottage near the cut. This was Friday evenings visit for food and beer. Recently under new management, apparently.
