I must admit the work required to update the blog is colossal, almost a full time task, and if you consider that my blog from our year long world trip only featured one hundred and twelve posts it gives some indication of the magnitude of the task in hand.
Some neighbours of ours used to own a caravan in Brean and regularly told us of how good the Ocean Bar is so we entered with a sense of anticipation....
We must confess to being hugely disappointed, don't get me wrong the large beer garden was a good one with some great views though I couldn't help thinking that the sight of a sand pit and children's play area would undoubtedly mean that warm summer's days outside the Ocean Bar would be blighted by misbehaving brats.
Inside the pub it was dark and a bit depressing, there was no warmth to the welcome and the beer selection was dreadful, no real ale just Banks's Bitter from a keg.
The pub was situated inside the Lazy Days Holiday Park and there must have been a large number of people who had chosen to spend May Day weekend 'down the van' as the pub was pretty full. Maybe the throngs of people were gathered for the live entertainment, a keyboard player called Jon Clare. I caught sight of Jon Clare's huge organ as we made our way from the bar to our seats. I just can't help myself can I?!!
Pint number two was even less impressive than pint number one and that is saying something, it was also flatter than Jon Clare's singing, yes the live entertainment had started by this stage and in terms of quality it was on par with the beer.
We left the Ocean Bar hugely underwhelmed and decided to revisit an old friend...Kracker's Bar !!
