Welcome to the fi rst ever issue of the North Notts. Drinker. The Committee and I hope that you will fi nd this

an interesting magazine and that you will be patient as we hope to improve our standards as we go along. Any member who wishes to make a contribution to an issue should send any items to Paul Mann at [email protected]. The next copy deadline is Tuesday 27th August.

After the AGM, the committee is virtually the same apart from Alan Duffy who we are pleased to welcome on to the committee. If anyone has any questions to put to the committee, we all can be contacted through the web site or via the editor and would be pleased to help with any enquiries or problems.

In April, the branch travelled to the White Hart at West Stockwith to present the North Notts POTY award and also to give a certifi cate for the pub having appeared continually in the Good Beer Guide for the last 10 years. Also members attended a Meet the Brewer night at the Birches in Retford where Phil Owen and staff from the Dukeries Brewery were giving a talk on their beers. A good night was had by all and our thanks to Phil and his staff and licensee and staff at the Birches.

Breweries are now at a premium in our branch area having eight breweries and one at present not brewing. There is also the possibility of another one opening soon.

In May we held presentations at the Shireoaks Inn and The Mallard to present certifi cates to the respective pubs for ten continuous years in the Good Beer Guide. Also we travelled judging the county round of POTY. A tour of Lincoln pubs was also carried out by members in May.

CHAIRMAN'SFOREWORDA WARM WELCOME TO YOU



The White Hart, situated on the bank of the River Trent, can trace its history back to 1844 when it was one of nine public

houses in West Stockwith listed in Kelly’s Directory for Nottinghamshire.

It has been home to The Idle Brewery since its launch in 2007 by owner Brian Cooper and is used as their brewery tap.

In September 2012 the pub was acquired by Brian and his wife Elaine and it has changed beyond recognition since then, having been extensively refurbished to a very high standard.

The pub is increasingly popular with locals, ramblers and boaters alike and a full selection of Idle Brewery beers is always available.

W h e n entering this friendly pub, there is always

a warm welcome from all the bar staff and advice is offered on the different beers on sale with free tasters available if required.

The pub also serves hearty meals made with locally sourced produce where available. Delicious home cooked pies made with their own ales are always popular.

The pub holds regular food theme nights, quizzes and live artists.

The rooms can hold over 100 people and can serve up to 60 diners at one sitting.

The White Hart Inn has become a very popular pub in the area, catering for the village of West Stockwith and attracting customers from miles around; not only for the superb beers and ales from The Idle Brewery next door but for the quality and superb value meals on offer.

Since September 2012 the White Hart Inn has won the North Notts Camra Winter Pub of the Season and also the North Notts Camra Pub of the Year besides getting a special award for being in the Good Beer Guide for the last ten years.

On Wednesday 22nd May, the Branch made presentations to 2 Worksop pubs in our region for having been in the

Good Beer Guide for 10 consecutive years. The fi rst one was made to landlord Andrew

Woods of the Shireoaks Inn, Westgate near the market place. The Branch Chairman Steve Bownes in making the presentation said that “this award is well deserved and justifi ed.” In response Andrew said that “he was very pleased to have recognition for his and, more importantly, his staff’s hard work over the years.”

After sampling many of the excellent beers on offer, the party made the short walk across town to the Mallard, situated next to Worksop Railway Station. Again Steve Bownes made the

presentation, this time to Wayne Cadman saying that it “was a cosy, friendly pub that always has a good atmosphere as well as an ever changing offering of excellent beer.” Wayne replied that “he was over the moon with the award,” but jokingly reproached the Branch for being late, as the Mallard has actually been in the Good Beer Guide for 11 years running, not 10!

To mark the occasion Wayne put on a mini beer festival with beers from local breweries and also laid on a buffet. As usual the event was well attended by Branch members and the celebrations continued well into the night.

After recognising that there was no current major real ale Festival in the North Notts calendar, father and Son team Vince

and Jim Mee, both of Eaton, Retford decided to create a brand-new event for the town. The third member of the planning team was Simon Chandler also of Eaton, whilst Jim’s cousin, 20 year old student Tom Bradley booked the music and ran the sound system.

Jim is a professional event organiser and is the owner and operator of Rat Race Adventure Sports (www.ratrace.com) which is the UK’s largest provider of adventure sports events. Vince is a semi-retired Flying Instructor who fl ew Tornado jets in the RAF whilst Simon ran a major shed manufacturering company in Barnsley for many years.

The festival planning team approached Bassetlaw District Council with a view to booking Retford Town Hall from Thursday 13th – Saturday 15th June 2013. The Council was fi rmly behind the event from the start and pledged support in helping to establish the Festival for the long-term. Richard Blagg the Retford Town Centre Manager and Jonathan Brassington, the Bassetlaw Communications Manager were both particularly helpful and enthusiastic.

One of the most important tasks in planning a beer festival is obviously choosing the beers and we naturally wanted to include as many local breweries as possible. They were all generous with help and advice and in particular,

many thanks to Phil Owen from Dukeries and Phil Blunt from S p r i n g h e a d who provided their own bars and s h o w c a s e d their own ales with hand-pulls. Wayne Cadman from

Double Top also provided lots of helpful tips & advice. Jim had a history of dealing with the Ossett brewery in West Yorkshire and they were our main sponsors who provided a generous donation towards the glasses. We had set a target of 100 different beers and ciders and we ended up with 82 casks of ale, 10 of which were held in reserve. Scrumpy Wasp from East Markham provided the cider bar with 12 ciders. Twenty different bottled beers took us well over the hundred.

We didn’t have a competition for best beer this year but my own favourite was “Dancing Dragonfl y” from the Pheasantry brewery.

The Town Hall, with a capacity of 450 proved to be a great venue. After a quiet start on Thursday evening, Friday proved to be very popular and on Saturday evening, we reached full capacity.

Planning and running the festival proved to be very stressful and diffi cult both mentally & physically. However, running such a successful event proved to be challenging and rewarding and we do intend repeat the exercise next year. Although we received a good deal of help and advice from Steve Bownes and Paul Mann, we hope next time to work even more closely with North Notts Camra. We learned many lessons but the main ones were: don’t buy too much beer and to start planning as early as possible. The fi rst planning meeting for the 2014 Retford Beer Festival will be in July.

August Bank Holiday WeekendBeer Festival, BBQ & Classic Car Display

Twenty fi ve years ago Richard Scragg and Helen Teasdale bought the current Springhead Brewery site on Main Street

in Laneham from long-term resident, Robin Minnitt. Historically the buildings had been used as the Minnitts family home, a mill, a bakery and a grocery shop. Richard went on to use the main buildings as a mill for his organic animal feed fi rm, Optivite, but after selling the business in 2009 new life was breathed into the site when Richard and Helen moved their thriving microbrewery from Sutton on Trent to Laneham in 2011.

A large brewery and tap bar were established, with some offi ces in the old Victorian house, but it was in need of renovation. Robin had been very disheartened to see it in such a sorry state and since the Butcher’s Arms public house had closed felt there was no meeting place for the locals. This has now changed however and the old house is fully open as a cosy and atmospheric craft pub, The Bees Knees. The emphasis is very much on quality homemade food using the best locally sourced ingredients, craft beers, ciders and lager, plus a commendable wine list. The rooms of the pub each feel a bit different in terms of decor and provide a welcoming place to visit either on your own or with friends. Manager David Anderson guarantees a warm welcome and encourages visitors to partake in the traditional pub games on offer or have a tinkle on the piano. This pub is very much about providing a heart for the community.

Recently Robin Minnitt and six members of his family visited Springhead Brewery, Meg’s bar- the brewery tap, and The Bees Knees, to have a nostalgic look around. Richard Scragg states’’ It was an absolute pleasure to show the Minnitts how we have developed the site and share our thoughts for the future. We enjoyed hearing from each family member how each room in The Bees Knees had been used and comparing it to its current use’’.

Several old pictures of Laneham are used to decorate the walls of The Bees Knees and one shows the frontage of the pub when it was a grocery store belonging to Bernard A Minnitt, the father of Robin and his three brothers and one sister (all of whom are still alive!).

Springhead run brewery tours and tutored tastings in Meg’s Bar by appointment. Call David Anderson on 07831 212543 to make a booking or visit www.springhead.co.uk. Food can be included and the package makes an ideal catch up with friends, stag night or a special party!

A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANEHOW IT ALL STARTED



The good lady agreed, nay insisted, a long weekend in Chester was just what we needed. Not the easiest train journey so

we drove, setting off on the Friday morning, two and a half hours without rushing, going over Woodhead and past Manchester airport. The car parked and the bags unpacked at the B&B, which was just outside the city walls, time to explore the historic city.

A couple of minutes’ walk and we were inside the city wall on Northgate Street. The Red Lion is on the right hand side, an impressive looking pub with its white painted pillars, recently refurbished and part of the Nicholson pub group. Eight beers all rotating I believe, two of which were local breweries, one being Conway, and the pub does food but it can get full. Next door is the Pied Bull with its own brewery in the cellar, an old coaching house and a very impressive pub that also does food. Three of their own beers and three guests and a good place for lunch says the boss, washed down with their Pied Eyed bitter. Moving along Northgate and just before the Tourist Information offi ce on the right is the Coach House, two/three beers, often Thwaites, but the pub is mainly food. Almost opposite to the right hand side of the bank is a small side road that goes to the Cathedral, along here to

the right is the aptly named Godstall Lane and this contains a modern café style bar Duttons, with a good outside seating area, again mainly food but it serves two J W Lees beers and the two halves I tried were in good condition. Godstall Lane comes out at the main shopping area in The Lanes (double storey historic shops with walkways at both levels) on Eastgate. Stay on the top level and go to the right to a Sam Smith’s pub, the Boot Inn. Royalist troops were murdered here but not the weekend we visited. An old pub, Sam Smith’s pricing policy and a cracking pint of Old Brewery Bitter, wonderful.

On leaving the Boot we decided to take a trip on the open top bus, always a good way of seeing a city and gaining information. The Chester bus operates a “hop on hop off system”, so while the ticket is valid the bus can be used as

many times as required. A bus timetable is posted at all the stops and there is a discount on the river Dee boat trip if the tickets are purchased together.

Friday evening we continued as if we had come out of the Boot. Starting from the junction of Northgate Street and Eastgate (the Boot is on Eastgate almost at this junction) we continued to the end of Eastgate and turned left onto Upper Bridge Street with The Lanes shops still on both sides. Down to the lights and over Pepper Street to Lower Bridge

a weekend in chesterPART ONE

the end of Eastgate and turned left onto Upper Bridge Street with The Lanes shops still on both sides. Down to the lights and over Pepper Street to Lower Bridge



Street with the Falcon, another Sam Smith’s house, on the junction. The Falcon visit was left for Saturday, and we carried on to the Brewery Tap. Up the few steps at the entrance, the pub used to be a Jacobean banqueting hall; food is still served and the Spitting Feathers Brewery had three of their beers on offer along with four guest beers, again local breweries featured. Across the road to the junction of Duke Street and the distinctive red brick building is the Cross Keys, a Joules brewery pub which had an extensive refurbishment in 2012. Three Joules beers on offer and if eight stamps (one per pint) were collected on the loyalty card a free Joules t shirt was the prize. Back across Lower Bridge Street and just before the city wall is the Bear and Billet, a 17th century timber framed visually stunning building. Once home to the Earls of Shrewsbury it now belongs to the Isle of Man’s Okells brewery. Two Okells beers and three guest beers available, sport is shown on tv towards the back of the pub, there is a room upstairs for functions and the food is very good. The good lady was impressed by the Boot and so we ended the evening there.

Saturday and a spot of shopping during the day for the wife; I could have used the open top

bus (tickets still valid) to visit the amphitheatre and then the Grosvenor museum but decided to walk. Culture fi x complete, next stop the Falcon, the second Sam Smiths pub, a quite busy pub that does daytime food. Over Lower Bridge Street and straight along Pepper Street and immediately before the city wall is Park Street. Not far along Park Street on the right hand side on the junction of Albion Street is the Albion which was unfortunately closed, however I did return on Sunday lunch when it was open. The pub is decorated with artefacts of the Great War and serves three beers from national breweries and also does food. Retracing my steps back along Park Street, over Pepper Street and fi fty yards along is St John Street. Tucked away on the right is the Marlborough but this was also closed as it was again on Sunday so I can only quote from others that it serves three beers from the Oswestry-based Stonehouse brewery.

Chester is not a large city but as well as having some great pubs it also offers other choices and is ideal for a weekend break.

On Tuesday 14th May 11 branch members enjoyed an “Away Day” out in Lincoln.

Paul Fisher our new mini–bus driver met us outside the Mallard in Worksop at 10am picking up other members on the way. We arrived at the Joiners Arms, Lincoln about 11am.

The Joiners on the corner of Victoria Street and West Parade is a well hidden traditional free house with no airs and graces selling good real ale, many of us had our fi rst taste of Comanche there, a good easy drinking well balanced ale from one of our local branch breweries Copthorne.

We then ventured up the hill (lots of these in Lincoln!) to a good Bateman’s pub the Victoria and enjoyed a range of fi ne beers there.

Our next port of call was the Strugglers Inn around the corner, where several of us sampled the excellent Rudgates Ruby Mild. Then onto the Lion & Snake for a good selection of traditional ales, including Jennings Bitter. A few of us then went into the Magna Carta and sampled a good range of Marston’s Ales. Some of us then went

into the Whisky Shop to view their large range of Whiskies and other spirits, an interesting place to visit. The Wig & Mitre was our next call for a fi ne pint of Adnams Best.

We then called into Widow Cullen’s Well the only Sam Smiths owned pub in Lincoln, we enjoyed a good quality pint of Old Brewery Bitter and an informative chat with the manager, who certainly knew his stuff regarding the beer he sells and the history of the Tadcaster brewery.

Some of our party then went to the locally renowned Jolly Brewers who always stock a good range of quality ales.

We arrived back at the Joiners Arms around 5.30pm for a few sandwiches, thanks to John the landlord, and further refreshments. Once back safely over the border into North Notts CAMRA territory we called at the Eyre Arms in Rampton, then dropped off in Retford, before fi nally disembarking outside the Railway Station in Worksop.

The hardier souls amongst us ventured into various establishments in Worksop to end what had been a most enjoyable day out.

Our next planned Social is Tuesday 13th August to Doncaster, leaving Worksop at 1030am returning around 6pm, further detail will be sent out via email nearer the time.
