Happy New Year to any followers of our resident Warwickshire highwayman and his pub-getting antics. For an early January jaunt, the Bandit takes a bus from Stratford to Shipston on Stour...
The first stop is the White Bear on the High Street.
A refreshing half of Cotswold Gold from the Donnington Brewery.
Nearby is the George Townhouse.
And a half of Brakspear Oxford Gold to follow.
The next stop is The Horseshoe on Church Street.
For some North Cotswold Shagweaver.
The Coach & Horses is on New Street.
And serves Hook Norton Hooky Best Bitter (in this case, on a darts-themed table).
Onwards to The White Horse.
And a taste of "Old Golden Hen" - no pecking!
And finally on to the excellent Thirst Edition micropub.
And some Exeter County Best to finish.
