The message 20040607204310.GA26407@amnesiac.heapspace.net from Brett Parker iDunno@sommitrealweird.co.uk contains these words:
The Fat Cat is about as out as you can get for good beer selection, obviously they're a die hard adnams fan, or not very adventurous ;)
The Barford Cock might be an idea - with two microbreweries on the premises the choice should be quite good. The beer is more than that, I can report.
I don't think I've ever had the same drink on different sessions in the Fat Cat, wander in, pick something random from the vast selection, drink, if it's good stick to it for that session, if not, switch again and keep going till one that is good (doesn't usually take long ;)
Fat Cat is ace, but do they have room for anything more than a chat meeting? The Landlord's Brother-in-Law keeps the Kings Arms at the head of Hall Road (Opposite the Billy Bluelight) where there is a lot of room, and thirteen cask-conditioned beers on the truncheons.
