The orange tree, kirkby lonsdale...

Home of the kirkby lonsdale brewery company though looking at the orange tree's website you would never know it.

The Orange Tree is a new recommendation from this years (2010) bible. Both this pub and the sun inn (listed in 2009 bible but not 2010) pubs also feature in a new website I discovered last night called www.doggiepubs.org.uk

Nice pint of monumental blonde here, they also advertise a 5.8% beer conditioned in old whiskey casks! Think spaceflowers father will be eyeing that one, he'll have to be careful going back up the m6!!

Very dog friendly, the monster sat quietly under the table while keeping her eye on movements around the ever increasingly busy bar.

Best sub £5 burger i've had for a long time. The Monumental Blonde was very nice indeed.

Ready for sundown....

Feels like we have been away for weeks, but still 2 days to go.

Tonight we take full advantage of free wifi and a nice cold pint (jarra - which I have been told twice by locals that I can pronounce perfectly) of tropical.

Cotillo tapas...

This weeks Blog comes from a swanky tapas bar in el cotillo in fuertaventura.

Strangely occupied by lots of Brits but not in a chavy way. The local beer is called dorado, got 24 cans from the supermercado for 12 euros!

Great meal, they just brought us a selection of tapas including beef stew, spicy chicken, baby squid (the barman reckons!), tatoes and a fish dish.

I love it when people just bring us food... You would never believe mother used to say I was a fussy eater!
