Saturday evening last week, pleasantly surprised to find The Allotment open, busy, packed.
During the day an excellent coffee shop , Saturday evening it turns into a cocktail bar.
A knowledgeable bartender mixing the cocktails. Quality, not the cheap rubbish find in pubs and binge drinking bars. Lincoln Jazz Cafe a rare exception.
Very limited choice. Though I’d rather have a limited choice, than a large choice clueless on how to make. Though I’m sure, would make if asked.
I recommended
- Dicktales – Dick Bradsell
Dick Bradsell created the espresso martini, the London cocktail scene.
I also recommended follow Dan Fellows, UK world champion coffee in good spirits for two years running.
My version of the espresso martin, a slight variant of that by Dan Fellows, we both independently arrived at an updated espresso martini.
Why busy? People don’t like pubs. Cocktail Bar The Allotment, pleasant atmosphere, pleasant staff.
We hear a lot of whining from failing hospitality, pleas for special treatment, tax concession, government bailouts and handouts. They are failing because they are crap. The places where they care, focus on quality, passion about what they are doing, understand customer service, are not failing,
Collingham is located midway between Lincoln and Newark. A very dangerous junction on the A46, a death trap. It should be closed, a roundabout. Turn off before Collingham and take the country lanes.
