Last night we visited our local, the Hemingford Arms, for the first time, ably assisted by Dave and Pete, who were over to visit. I’ve never really had a local before–the Kensington on Stanley Road in Redland would be the closest thing, I suppose, but it was always just that bit too far from my student accommodation to qualify (notwithstanding our consistent pub quiz successes), so I was rather pleased to find that the pub within stumbling distance of the flat is surprisingly good, actually. Something of a “local pub for local people”, (with one of those American Werewolf in London moments when we opened the door), but it does have a good selection of beers on tap and very good cheap Thai food. I think I might be back.
