Erin and I are spending a couple of days down at the caravan in Eyemouth, which gives us the perfect opportunity to try some pubs a little further away from the home stomping ground. Armed with a copy of the Good Beer Guide 2009, the POI file for the Sat Nav and a decent appetite after a morning trawling the shops in Berwick we decided on the Craw Inn, Auchencrow – winner of the CAMRA Borders Pub of the Year 2009.
And what a find it was! We sat in the main bar, which was small and snug and had a wonderful collection of pump labels attached to the many beams traversing the low ceiling – I hope all the beers have passed through the two handpumps! In the corner a pendulum clock provided a nice background soundtrack when the nice lady behind the bar wasn’t chatting. On the walls the evidence of ongoing success in the CAMRA competitions was apparent with multiple winners certificates from 2002 to 2009.
More to come…
