A decent pint of Adnams and smoked haddock at the Eight Bells

Written by

Down to the Eight Bells in Saffron Walden for more culinary hits. This time ti’s two pints of Adnams Bitter, one of those almost flat English beers that I didn’t realise I missed so much.
It’s (obviously) bitter, nearly flat and about 4.4% alcohol. It reminds me that so man of our craft beers are a bit too mucked about.

For lunch I have my second smoked haddock dish of the holiday – a smoked haddock and mussel chowder.
I’m really enjoying this smoky fish which you simply can’t get hold of back home.
