This is the local name for ALVEDISTON. Try and cover that 'helluvadistance' to find the simply gorgeous village pub called the THE CROWN INN. It looks like a pair of thatched cottages with no hint of pubyness from the outside apart from a roadside retro pub sign swirled about with old man's beard. It is the most perfect pun interior. The bar sprouts 5 ale pumps all attached to Local brewed beer barrels. One brew is named Alvediston. It is brewed only for the Crown. The two cottages blended together to form a pub is long and cosy and uncluttered.

This is the most welcoming summery pub you could hope for. In the New Forest at Landford just go there and see. It is like drinking ale in someone's private cottage. Try it...and then go on to eat at one of the two eateries at NOMAN'S LAND. Its hard to know what to do next. To add to the choice we need more and more music and fetes and full-on action in all the villages in the Locally territory. It is so easy to 'flash' your event on to the site........there......its done.

Last night we went with friends for a meal at The Pheasant Inn in Salisbury (by Salt Lane Car Park). The purpose of our visit was to listen to Sandy Ince (StickyToffee Jazz) . The Pheasant put on a delicious three course meal with a glass of fizz and Sandy sang two sets, finishing at 10.30pm.

I am going to see Sticky Toffee Jazz on Thursday at The Pheasant in Salt Lane - really looking forward to it! I will report back as soon as I can! The other day I had a very relaxing cup of coffee in the Cozy Club - nearly forgot I had shopping to do!!

Have you come across a band in Salisbury that you want to shout about? Either put the event on Locally yourself or let me know (info@locallydoesit.com)
