The Lugger Inn at Chickerell
I have been chastised for the inactivity of recent weeks! Ian Robb and his wife June who live in N.Carolina tell me that they require regular news on local hostelries so that they are not at a loss for a decent drink when returning to these parts! This rebuke was administered last weekend and I hasten to get things moving again! Apologies.We lunched with other members of the Robb family (see cousins Alan and Ian in my blogpost 'The Cross Keys Locals' of Nov. 1 2006) at the Lugger Inn which is on the outskirts of Weymouth. Here you can taste an excellent pint of Palmers of Bridport, a brew of high quality which seems to be difficult to find anywhere East of Dorchester! This is a pity because Palmers is a true Dorset ale and ought to be more easily available. So take a trip one Sunday to the Lugger and try an excellent roast beef lunch. We thought the beef was first class, cooked to perfection, with second helpings encouraged. Ian and June actually tried the mackerel, fresh from the sea.................a reminder from June's yachting days of yesteryear. A couple of photos herewith for my friends from Carolina. I promise to try to keep this log updated!
