Rose Street, Covent Garden - The Oldeft Tavern in Covent Garden - Licensed in the Reign of Elizabeth I.
A true tale of our board spreading far and away, and coming full-circle. 11 days ago I learned, last minute, that my boss and his wife were taking a trip to Wales in order to bring his mother-in-law back to the country of her birth to celebrate her 80th.
In said last minute, the boss says, "We'll be spending half the trip in London (sorry Richard, I was gonna have you meet up with him, but he didn't have a set schedule of events), what should I be drinking over there?" Heh, heh, heh.
Well, he stops into the above pub, my hastily scrawled list of good real ales to ask for (in indelible pen) - and the instruction to look for the tap-handle medalions of the beer engines. He walks up to the publican and says, "I'm looking for these," the publican being quite impressed that someone from the U.S. had actually sent him on a hunt for good beer!
The Lamb and Flag being a Young's pub, my boss was in good hands with the publican and his ale suggestions.
There you go Richard, the crusade continues - from London to Chicago and back again to London!
Cheers,
Steve
