No.1
“The North Inn” |
 |
After landing at Heathrow, Jeff and I rented a car and
drove six hours to get to the far Western tip of Southern
England—Land’s
End peninsula in Cornwall. We stayed at The North Inn
in Pendeen. As an inn, The North has a bar, food, and
rooms upstairs. Two brothers (John and Andrew Coak) operated
the inn, which won the 2003 Pub of the Year Award from
the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA). The ale was a welcome
reward after all that traveling. In fact, I think one
of my happiest moments from the entire trip was when Jeff
and I sat down with our pints and finally relaxed. Tinner’s
and Tribute were two of three cask ales on offer at The
North Inn. I liked Tribute the best. After a few pints
and dinner, we went for a stroll outside. Within a few
minutes we were walking down a pitch-black country lane.
If we kept walking I'm sure we would have met the Cornish
version of the Phooka and been offered a ride home.
