14 recommendations submitted on the day.

	The Globe Crawley › West Sussex Recommended by E TA	An airport bar tucked away discreetly on the ground floor of North Terminal's Departures (Landside). Apart from being an airport bar, the only real annoyance is the background music. No real ale on draft but there was Spitfire, Pride and Bombardier... [more>]
	Curio Lounge Stroud › Gloucestershire Recommended by Dave McNally	Opening 3rd December 2014
	The Anchor Inn Henley-On-Thames › Oxfordshire Recommended by ROB Camra	Impressive pub with multiple rooms all with a different character. Some of the things on the menu board were quite inventive e.g. Devon Crab, but we didn't try the food. The pub had pumpclips showing for Brakspears Bitter, Special and Downpour but on... [more>]
	The Old Bell Henley-On-Thames › Oxfordshire Recommended by ROB Camra	Small pub with several distinct areas with very low beams in places. Brakspears Bitter and Downpour were on offer. I tried both the Downpour and the Bitter, both were in good shape. You need an umbrella to go to the gents when it's raining but once y... [more>]
	The Bull Henley-On-Thames › Oxfordshire Recommended by ROB Camra	This pub had changed hands just before our visit. The place was a bit bare as the previous incumbents had taken a lot of stuff with them. Has a huge fireplace in the lounge which is planned to be used once the chimney has been swept which will be gre... [more>]
	The Horse & Groom Henley-On-Thames › Oxfordshire Recommended by ROB Camra	A revelation for Henley, a pub that doesn't sell ANY Brakspears. Small pub divided into 3 rooms. Lot's of interesting bric-a-brac and a very friendly white cat which looks like he's been a bit of a fighter in his past. Beers on tap were Greene King I... [more>]
	The Rose & Crown Henley-On-Thames › Oxfordshire Recommended by ROB Camra	It was just starting to rain as we entered the pub. This soon became a violent thunderstorm. There were 3 handpumps on the bar but only the Brakspears Bitter was actually available. The pub is very small but perfectly formed and had a very fishy menu... [more>]
	The Row Barge Henley-On-Thames › Oxfordshire Recommended by ROB Camra	Long thin pub on 2 levels. When we walked in we were pleasantly surprised to realise that the men were outnumbered about 3 to 1 by the ladies. I don't know if this is normal in here, but it certainly makes a change. Brakspears Bitter and Special were... [more>]
	The Three Tuns Henley-On-Thames › Oxfordshire Recommended by ROB Camra	Very deceptive pub. It's much bigger than you would think from the outside. We both had a pint of Special at £2.50 which was a little hazy but tasted fine. Lots of interesting bits and pieces around the pub and on the walls. Very cosy. Toilets are do... [more>]
	Two Brewers Henley-On-Thames › Oxfordshire Recommended by ROB Camra	We walked through the door, the place went quiet, everybody turned round and looked at us ! We had a pint of Brakspears Bitter each and sat down and the pub returned to normal. There was a whole load of banter going on between the locals and the land... [more>]
	Little White Hart Henley-On-Thames › Oxfordshire Recommended by ROB Camra	Our first stop of the night. Very pleasant pub both inside and out. A bit touristy, there were 3 guys in the bar discussing whether or not they could reach Marlow by the following night! Unless they were walking on their hands I suspect the answer wa... [more>]
	Old Red Lion SE11 › London (Greater) Recommended by Alan Winfield	The Old Red Lion is a nice looking black and white pub that is next door to the Oaka at the Mansion House pub. Once inside there were two oblong shaped rooms,i had a drink in the room to the right,this room looked quite cosy and was dimly lite with c... [more>]
	Quigley's Rugby › Warwickshire Recommended by ROB Camra	This is an Irish bar, but not a fake one like O'Neills. Lots of the usual Irish tat around the walls though. Suprisingly there was a handpump serving Doom Bar. I asked for a half, it was filth. I complained and the barman apologised and said it was t... [more>]
	The King's Arms SE11 › London (Greater) Recommended by Alan Winfield	The Little Apple is a smart looking corner pub that has a nice backdrop of a tall block of flats,shame it was'nt a 70s built estate pub,i would have been well happy doing a pub like that in this area of South London. Once inside there is a single ir... [more>]
