The short trip to Leighton Buzzard to play the homeless Aylesbury United, gave Kevin the opportunity to drive and for our nerves to remain intact.
Driving past the ground to get to the High Street we passed a number of pubs and bars, but a previous visit to The Swan Hotel convinced us that a return to this venue was worth it.
Situated on the High Street, Wetherspoon's have had this hotel for just over 12 months, one of dozen hotels that Wetherspoon's now run.
We arrived to find the place heaving and we eventually found a table at the back of the bar, which we slowly took over as more of the Regiment arrived. The Swan Hotel is a lovely place and has a very pleasant atmosphere, which is rare in Leighton Buzzard and of course the range of beer is extensive and the quality of the food is reliable.
We decided to stay as late as possible as the bar at Leighton Town is renowned for having low stock and today they did not disappoint. It's was evident that having had a match themselves on Tuesday night in the FA Cup, that stock was already low for the Aylesbury United match the following night.
By full time they had run out of Foster's, Guinness and gin, as well as both Diet and Full Fat Coke. A poor show, but just re-enforces our decision to visit pubs rather than clubhouses this season.
Rating 4/5
