Pubs Galore - the UK pub guide

Thaikhun which apparently is pronounced tycoon is a Thai street bar that seems to concentrate more on cocktails that beer. On entry the bar faces you and to the left are lots of heavy wooden bench type seats,with further down there seems to be a restaurant type of place.Very poor beer choice with just a couple of lagers on tap that were doubled up. There is an upstairs to this place where ping pong can be played plus beer pong and giant jenga whatever they are.Quite a bit of Thai oddments scattered around but i certainly wont be rushing back.

New micropub.

Tried to call in for a meal one afternoon recently, but sadly all the tables were taken. The food smelled really good.

an upmarket chain dining pub. About 90% of it is a restaurant but there is a pleasant enough bar area in one corner as you go in. just the one real ale on from George Wright, credit where due for using the local brewery I guess.

We managed to just get in before they shut for the afternoon at 2.30, luckily for us the manageress knew our drinking companion, so a quick pint wasn't a problem. We all went for the Gadd's bitter at £2.70 a pint, which was in top condition. It also turned out that the pub is run by Eddie Gadd, who is a founder of the local Gadd's brewery, and he has been running this pub for the last four years.
The interior consists of the original front mahogany bar front left with some narrow and ample drinking space. A good sized lounge area on the right hand side and a rear snug, which is served from a small hatch at the rear of the bar. Four ales on handpump, two from Gadds No 5 and No 7, Burning Sky Plateau and Oakham Deep Thought. We found the pub to be very welcoming and everyone was friendly and chatty. Well worth a visit to this traditional back street boozer.
