Third pub meal of the day was a blue cheese and bacon burger that I drenched with Henderson’s Relish in the Old Queens Head washed down with a bitter and viscous porter. I’m sure I put on weight, today, despite the nearly 9 mile run before breakfast but an introduction to Henderson’s makes it all worthwhile. A bottle of this around reduces any food to merely a vector for this wonderful sauce.
The elephants are a bar rail feature I’ve mentioned before, most recently at the Station in King’s Heath last June (more links in that write up), and are always a welcome sight. The plaque at the entrance (below) doesn’t quite convey the shear age and history of the building; Pevsner mentions it and it is generally considered the oldest structure in town.
Sheffield was a good visit, not only for the fine science presented but for these five varied but all very good pubs. Already planning a return trip before the British Mass Spec Society event next September; at the end of that visit, I’ll be returning with a suitcase full of Henderson’s.
