	The Red Lion Bushey › Hertfordshire Recommended by E TA	A large late Victorian mock-Tudor town pub on a busy through-route, thought to have been built on the site of a 17th Century pub of the same name. It has been modernised and knocked through to form a single large L-shaped bar. One side is more of a... [more>]
	The Royal Tiger (JD Wetherspoon) Wolverhampton › West Midlands Recommended by Aqualung .	This place seems to have declined since some of the reviews below as I found it to be a fairly average JDW. It's a rather dull rectangular room where the aircon ducts are exposed. The colour scheme was a rather odd red and pale green and there is low... [more>]
	The Vine Wolverhampton › West Midlands Recommended by Aqualung .	As noted at length below this is a classic inter-war pub which if it was in London would have been trashed years ago. I came here on a Wednesday afternoon. As you enter there are doors on the left and right. I went for the left side which turned out... [more>]
	The Holy Tavern EC1 › London (Central) Recommended by Bucking Fastard	ORIGINAL REVIEW August 2015 A very clever recreation of an ale house,the interior is small but has discrete areas ,with seats in both bay windows,a small rear room and a one table garret up some creaking steps opposite the bar.It gets very busy after...

	The Swan Inn Stone › Staffordshire Recommended by Real Ale Ray	A good sized pub with an equally sized rear patio garden. The interior of the pub is traditional, with original oak timber beams and floor boarded throughout, apart from the left hand side lounge which is carpeted. The bar area is situated in the ce...

	The Star Stone › Staffordshire Recommended by Real Ale Ray	A decent well kept pub with a traditional interior as you would expect for its idyllic location. We called on a Friday afternoon around five with the sun blazing, so the beer garden was full to capacity with numerous bottles of chilled white wine ser... [more>]
	The White Lion Wrexham › Clwyd Recommended by Graham Coombs	Old village local which appears to have had a fairly major refurbishment. Interior now has a light, bright feel but I suspect has lost a lot of character. Entrance into one large room, with lots of space and white paintwork (why on earth paint old ce... [more>]
	The Corryvreckan (JD Wetherspoon) Oban › Strathclyde Recommended by David Ross	The name is taken from the famous whirlpool between the nearby Hebridean islands of Jura and Scarba where George Orwell almost lost his life while living on Jura writing 1984. In most respects, it's a typical Wetherspoons pub with a huge selection of... [more>]
	The Cross Keys Marlborough › Wiltshire Recommended by Michael Wright	Went by today, For Sale sign up but pub is still open
	The Puffer Bar Oban › Strathclyde Recommended by David Ross	This is the only pub and/or restaurant on the tiny, car-free island of Easdale, which has a permanent population of less than 100. Numbers increase during the summer tourist season and especially during the World Stone Skimming Championships which ar... [more>]
