Old York Road Street Party 2010 Stage

They closed off the road so we had traffic-free access to the event. We strolled up and down and chatted to a number of the stall holders including:

• Mr Sambrook himself from Sambrook's Brewery - a local micro-brewery and producer of fine ales.
• Justin from Steam Bar Wine Bar and Restaurant - one of the best restaurants in the area
• A man from The Alma - our local Gastropub who have now built a boutique hotel out the back
• A lady from Doukan - an excellent local Moroccan restaurant where we have dined many times

Have enjoyed the sample of Sambrook's ale we went into the Alma and bought a couple of pints and a snack from Doukan. Then our friend Ian arrived and we had to have a couple more pints!
