Did you know that you can now get a pickled egg with a pint at The Salmon? 🥚

Pairing a pickled egg with a pint of traditional real ale is a classic British pub tradition. The sharp, vinegary tang of the egg cuts through the rich, malt-forward profile of the b**r and resets your pallet between sips 🍻 ..

There’s a few real ale pairings, suggested by us with a new addition to our pub snack list:

🍺 BCA Fireside bitter-the moderate bitterness and caramel notes provide a direct, balanced contrast to the sour vinegar bite

🍺 BCA Pig On The Wall Mild-the low bitterness and gentle, smooth malt sweetness soften the sharpness of the pickle brine without clashing

🍺 Oakham Omertà Porter-the roasted, dark malt flavours stand up to the heavy, savoury richness of the egg yolk

Come visit us, and try this mighty snack! And who knows, you may enjoy it the most a traditional way, dropping the egg in a bag of salt & vinegar crisps before eating it 👏

We’ve got plenty of real ales to compliment it!

This is now available, come have a taste of this ward winning ale! 🍻 🏆

We cannot wait to share these exciting news..

A new guest ale is coming soon, and we know how much you all love it! Limited availability, so once it’s on do not wait, as it will be gone in no time 😏..

•Summer Lightning
Hopback brewery
Golden Ale
5% strength

A trendsetter in the brewing industry, the original summer ale brewed all year round. An extremely pleasant bitter, straw coloured b**r with a terrific fresh, hoppy aroma. This, coupled with an intense bitterness, leads to an excellent long, dry finish.

Probably the b**r to receive the most awards in Britain!

Keep an eye on our socials, we’ll let you know when it’s ready to go-the countdown begins! 🍻

It should be available over the next few days.

What’s your favourite pub snack?

Ours is The Pork Crunch that’s has been recently added to our snack list 👏

At just £2, is the ultimate budget-friendly bar snack.

It delivers a lighter, airier bite than a traditional pork scratchings while keeping that satisfying, savoury crunch.

Packed with salty flavour, high in protein, and lovely kick of paprika seasoning, it is a brilliant low-carb treat that pairs well with a pint.

We would pair it with Black Country Ales Fireside bitter. Why?

•It cuts through fat: The sharp, crisp bitterness slices right through the richness of a pork crunch

•Balances the salt: The solid malt backbone of a traditional bitter acts as a perfect counterweight to the intense saltiness

•Cleanses the palate: The dry finish of a bitter refreshes your mouth, making every crunchy bite taste as good as the first

Give it a try next time you’re in, hope you will love it as much as we do! 🐷 🍻
