The Cross Keys - St Albans

Visited 7th June 2012.

I took a wander in the rain down the road to where 'The Cross Keys' used to be. When I arrived there were several workmen moving things out of the pub and several more moving things in. The sign over the door was gone and the only indication that there used to be a 'spoons here was the relocation sign in the window. Missed it by a week! Now I have a dilemma, I have visited the pub, I even set foot inside the pub but by one week it wasn't a Wetherspoon pub. I've written about it but not had a drink there, it's on my list of pubs to visit but can I add it to my total count? Sadly I think not as if I do I'm breaking one of my own self-imposed rules, the one where I have to have something to eat or drink in each one I visit. So it's back to the car and on to the next one...

The Moon and Spoon - Slough

Visited 21st June 2009.

A valuable lesson was learned this day. In fact two lessons were learned.
1) Check that the camera battery is charged so that you do not have to use your phone.
2) If travelling any distance, ring ahead to make sure the pub is open.
As you can see from the photos, due to a problem with the tills the pub was closed. What am I going to do for dinner? Fortunately there is little chance of me wasting away and also fortunately The Windlesora in Windsor (see earlier posting, tag Windsor) is only a short drive away. A burger in Windsor it is then!
I will, of course, have to return to Slough at some point in the future for a drink and to check out the inside.
