CAMRA LocAle

What is CAMRA LocAle?

CAMRA LocAle is an initiative that promotes pubs stocking locally brewed real ale.

The scheme builds on a growing consumer demand for quality local produce and an increased awareness of ‘green’ issues.

The Dambusters Inn enthusiastically supports this admirable initiative by the Lincoln Branch of CAMRA, launched at the 2009 Lincoln Beer Festival. The scheme features breweries located within twenty-five miles of the Dambusters Inn.

Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) — Campaigning for Real Ale since 1971

CAMRA’s GOOD BEER GUIDE 2022
Published on Friday, 12^th November 2021. — Now in its Forty–Nineth Edition, the Good Beer Guide is fully revised and updated each year to feature recommended pubs across the United Kingdom that serve the best real ale.

In the Guide, the listing for the Dambusters Inn reads:

Some pubs are special places of pilgrimage, and 10 visitors’ books are testament to the international reputation of this multi award-winning village local honouring the eponymous WWII squadron.

It has memorabilia displays worthy of a national museum and an annual commemorative beer festival drawing drinkers from near and far to toast the 617 heroes.

This is a proper pub, a flourishing micro-brewery and a popular food destination — a true reminder of good old England!

AT THE SIGN OF THE DAMBUSTERS INN . . .

GREG’S BREWERY — WAS LAUNCHED AT 16:00hrs on Saturday, 14th December 2013

A newly-built microbrewery situated behind the pub in the neatly kept garden of the Dambusters Inn has been very successfully producing an interesting variety of beers brewed by the Landlord, Greg Algar, for over seven years.

Friday 11^th May 2018

Simon Atack, one of the world’s foremost military aviation and naval artists, has graciously and generously permitted a special reproduction of his painting, Hopgood’s Courageous Run to form the design of our new Pub Sign.

We thought it appropriate to make this new sign in recognition of and to mark the eightieth anniversary of OPERATION CHASTISE.

Of his approach to his work, Simon has written;

‘I want to respectfully honour the memories of good and courageous young people, regardless of their flag of nationality, and the aircraft in which they performed their duty, sacrificed their lives and won a better tomorrow for all of us.’

All of us at the Dambusters Inn feel deeply honoured to have this fine work of art displayed for all to see and enjoy . . . and remember.

Our sincerest thanks to Simon Atack

P.S. The original painting has been sold.

Read Simon’s vivid and deeply moving account of Flt. Lt. John Vere Hopgood DFC & Bar as he made his ill–fated attack on the Möhne Dam in the early hours of 17th May 1943.

Commonwealth War Graves Commission . . .

. . . honours the 1.7 million men and women of the Commonwealth forces who died in the First and Second World Wars, and ensures they will never be forgotten.

WELCOME TO SCAMPTON (ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST) CHURCHYARD

Every year, Scampton Church welcomes hundreds of visitors.

The Churchyard contains sixty-four Commonwealth burials of the Second World War and eight German war graves.

During the Second World War there was a Royal Air Force Station at Scampton, and in the early months of the war a plot lying to the right of the entrance was set aside for the burial of servicemen. In 1941 it became necessary to reserve further ground for this purpose and a plot in an extension of the churchyard north of the church was used.

The Commission’s objective is to make sure that the sites – from individual scattered graves to iconic cemeteries and memorials – are visited and explored as a permanent part of local heritage.

The Commission actively engages new audiences and finds innovative ways to involve the whole community with its work – through education and outreach, voluntary activity, arts and heritage projects, local research and partnership working. The Commission aims to increase local awareness of Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) sites, particularly in the UK.

Rising to the challenge of this work, a research project by members of Scampton Church intends to map and document as much personal information as can be discovered, relating to each of the service personnel buried here.

If you would like to help us in any way with this fine project then please contact us.

May 2018

Welcome to Dave’s Daily Bread

Artisan Breads AGA home baked at The Granary, Scampton.

A range of original flavoured breads baked in a variety of sizes and styles.

All breads are made using simple, quality ingredients with no additives, colourants or preservatives. The dough is made from only quality flour, yeast, butter, water and salt – nothing else – and the flavours are hand–kneaded into the dough before shaping and allowed to prove and rise.

All breads are then baked in an AGA to ensure all–round even cooking with great results every time. Once the breads are cooled they are individually wrapped in perforated bread bags to ensure they are allowed to breath and keep fresh. Most breads are then frozen immediately in airtight bags to capture the moisture and freshness and will then keep frozen for at least three months and ready to use anytime.

(Make sure you ‘like’ the Facebook page: Dave’s Daily Bread) as you will be informed of my baking days and have the opportunity to pick up fresh from The Granary on the day.

Also note that I offer FREE DELIVERY on all orders over £10·00 within five miles of Scampton. If you live further away, I will add a small charge for fuel. I can also bake fresh for any specific, large orders; just contact me so we can discuss.

FOOTNOTE

Now, here is a very interesting additional note to Dave’s content above for visitors to this website who may be unfamiliar with the word, AGA.

AGA Cookers

AGA is an abbreviation of the company name, Aktiebolaget Gas Accumulator.

The AGA cooker is a stored–heat stove and cooker invented in 1922 by the Nobel Prize-winning Swedish physicist Dr. Gustaf Dalén (1869 - 1937), who also founded the AGA Company.

In 1912, Dr. Dalen lost his sight in an explosion. Forced to stay at home, Dr. Dalen discovered that his wife was exhausted by cooking. Although blind, he was determined to develop a new stove that was capable of every culinary technique and was easy to use. It is also capable of heating a house.

In 1929 the cooker was introduced to England by Bell’s Heat Appliances.
