The way this year has turned out, we are happy just to be on holiday, even though we’ve had to swap the west coast of America for the East coast of England. Our five day mega pub crawl started off in Lincolnshire with an overnight stay in Cleethorpes.
After stopping for refreshments at the Yardborough Hotel and The Barge in Grimsby, we arrived in Clee at 2.30pm. The GBG pubs ticked off during our stay were Willey’s, Nottingham House, Message In A Bottle, No.2 Refreshment Room, Spider’s Web, Crow’s Nest and finishing off in the Coliseum Picture House ‘Spoons.
