The short trip to our Bedfordshire neighbours Arlesey Town gave us an opportunity to visit the Vicars Inn. This pub opened in 1860 as the Steam Engine and was owned by Charles Wells during 20th century, until it bought as a freehouse in 2001 and renamed the Vicars Inn.
This traditional two bar layout, plus a function room and enclosed garden is popular with older clientele. Located a few minutes walk from the railway station, it offers good value beer and dominoes evenings are popular.
The local Charles Wells' regular of Eagle were on display as was Big Lamp Bitter from the Big Lamp Brewery in Newcastle Upon Tyne, A characterful hoppy beer with a slightly dry aftertaste, makes the Big Lamp a great session beer, but the match was calling us and a fine victory was watched by a sizable Regimental turn out.
