After the Tour de France finished yesterday, we decided (unsurprisingly) it was beer o'clock. "Where do you want to go?" I asked. "Somewhere light and airy".
Wiper and True's brewery taproom seemed to fit the bill and is about 3/4 of a mile away.
It was sunny and reasonably warm and about 4.50pm when we arrived.
There were two cask choices on the bar so we chose Kaleidoscope and, unusually for us, sat outside.
They've done a really good job in turning a largeish car-park for a couple of industrial units into a welcoming outdoor space. Whilst the parking bay lines remain, there are loads of planters filled with a variety of small trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants and it looks designed, rather than "plonked".
It would be very easy for them to have just filled the whole of the space with seating to maximise the number of punters but they've taken a much more hollistic approach and it's great!
All in all, it's a great place but I think, for us, the conditions have to be right to make it the perfect venue on any given day. Yesterday was that day...
