Our local by happypat

Our local

When we move house we will be five minutes walk away from this pub.
The Cartford Inn has just won pub of the year awarded by the Telegraph newspaper.
Well deserved too as it’s an excellent place to spend time.
The owners are always looking ways to improve & attract more custom.

Three good things:
1. A place to stroll to on a summer evening to meet the locals for a quick drink. We are not pub goers but a chat is always good. Downhill all the way there but unfortunately a hill to climb on the way back!
2. Blackberries in the hedges. I have walked over 8000 steps this afternoon.
3. Pop socks inside my trainers.
Lovely photo.....we're wondering if that might be the place we went for dinner last time Allan and I stayed with you......ages ago!!!

Well composed shot.

A great pov and shot - such a well maintained building - love the rendering and the exposed stone wall with the old wooden lintel above the window ! The inside and the service must equal this to gain the reward- What a shme that it will not be up hill to the pub , so that you could roll the whole way home after a visit !! ha !!

@beryl Yes exactly Beryl! In truth we will probably only go there for something to eat but it’s nice to have it so nearby.

Lovely to have a look at your new local. Is this close to the toll bridge? When you move will you have to pay the toll to cross the bridge? Hope your new house isn't on the other side of the bridge as it could get expensive.

Sweet spot...lucky you aren’t drinkers with it so temptingly close. I had a wonderful icecream shop that close to my office and I had to really work at tending my love for icecream

@thistle01 Hi Joyce lovely to see your name pop up....yes there are a few oldies still posting ..we become a community!

@onewing Ha ha Babs you are very observant! The Cartford is this side of the toll bridge ,you can just see it in the picture, the white house is where they come out to take your money & give you your ticket. Our new place is this side of the river so no toll. Harry would never live over the river...that was one stipulation!

Is that why you chose to come and live here? I bet not but worth knowing what's available before moving in.
September 7th, 2020  
@sangwann Well yes we knew all about this place as where we live now it’s still our local...nearer now though.
