George's Meeting House - Exeter

Visited 27th July 2009.

Just around the corner from The Chevalier Inn is George's Meeting House which is where we went next after a little more shopping. George's Meeting House is a great example of one of the reasons I am doing this (apart from the beer). Built as a Unitarian chapel in 1760 and named after George III with the pulpit (allegedly) built in 1687 and moved to George's in 1760. OK, so I read some of the wall plaques. But I like the idea of recycling buildings, especially if they are being conserved, restored and turned into places where I can have a drink!
I would recommend a visit although I cannot guarantee there will be any women showing off their cleavage. (Cleavages? Cleavai?)

The King And Castle - Windsor

Visited 27th March 2009.

A Lloyds No. 1 bar. The price of food and drink reflect the fact that The King And Castle is situated directly opposite Windsor Castle and will catch a large number of the tourists visiting one of the most popular attractions in the area.

A nice place and popular. This means long waits at the bar. OK, now for a bit of a moan. I've always believed that a good barman is aware of who is waiting at the bar and then serves them in the order of who has been waiting the longest. The barman working our end of the bar followed a different pattern based not on who had been waiting the longest but on who was showing the most cleavage. This meant very, very, very long waits for about half of the people wanting a drink!

Probably not going to return to this one. Never mind, plenty more waiting...
