Bus Pass Bandit: Part Forty Five - WARWICK

For his first February helping of highwayman activities, the Bus Pass Bandit undertakes a Warwick Winter Walkabout on a cold and frosty morning...

The first stop is the New Bowling Green on St Nicholas Church Street.

A warming fire and refreshing Brewpoint Anchorman awaits.

Next up is the Wild Boar on Lakin Road, very convenient for Warwick Station and a place the Bandit has frequented a few times over the years. The pub is a Project William collaboration between the Everards and Slaughterhouse breweries.

The Bandit opts for a Slaughterhouse specimen on this occasion, hence a tipple called 'Alright, Alright, Alright!' which is billed as a laid back amber bitter.

Nearby is the Oak Inn in Coton End, a long narrow pub with a simple frontage.

St Austell's Conversion suggests a Six Nations Rugby theme.

This illustration is a reminder of the horse drawn tramway which once ran between Warwick and Leamington.

On the same road is the Black Pug (formerly the Millwright Arms) with its distinctive black and white facade.

Time for some Wye Valley HPA.

Now on to the Elephant & Castle.

A good place to enjoy some Guinness and cricket - the Bandit's watching presence did not bring England any luck, sadly.

And a final stop at the Roebuck on Smith Street

Theakstons Old Peculier always goes down well.
