Richard Stedman (Stedders), a former Milton Keynes teacher, has written four guides linking each football division with local real ale pubs.He has kindly sent us a copy of his Division one guide for us to review.
The guide selects three real ale houses for each team in our division and details information such as disabled access, car parking, food and most important of all the beers on tap.
To judge the guides accuracy we thought it best to look at our local entries.
The first was our very own Victoria Inn in Bradwell village run by Lisa who is seen at both home and away matches. A very familiar photo depicts the pub with a bunch of Dons supporters on the patio! A very accurate desciption of this pub is given - if you've never been there it's well worth the visit if you love real ale. If you're looking for a pool table then ensure you are prepared for crampt conditions!
Next up was the Fox and Hounds in Stony Stratford. A local skittles pub with a good range of real ales. Stony is renowned for it's range of good pubs and eating places but the Fox & Hounds scores due to it's consistent beer quality.
The final pub representing Milton Keynes is technically not in Milton Keynes! The Cannon at Newport Pagnell famous for it's public jamming sessions and range of real ales.
A good selection of local pubs serving great beer and good food - if this is replicated throughout our division then this book is an absolute goldmine of information regarding the best pubs in the area. Definately one for those supporters who want to make the away day experience complete by visiting fantastic pubs with excellent beer and food along with a handy guide to get from the pub to the ground.
