The Langtry, St Helier

"All Day Eatery" it says on the menu and I'm really not sure what reception I'd have got after "waiting to be served" if I'd just asked for a pint. For me, though, this wasn't an issue as it was food I was after. The Liberation Ale was, to be fair, about the best I had while on the island. The usual Liberation keg line-up was also available. Given the quality of the cask, it may be worth investigating if you're nearby and just fancy a pint. If you want a meal as well, I'd say to definitely give it a try.

Seaton Place Social is very upmarket compared to its immediate peers and was busy with a lunchtime crowd of drinkers and diners when I visited on a recent Wednesday. The bar that runs down the right hand wall supports a standard keg range alongside San Miguel, Peroni and four craft beers from the back bar. Three hand pumps were drawing Liberation IPA and Ale alongside Herm Island Gold. To the left of the bar is a flat bread station and at the rear is a kitchen hatch. A burger is priced at £13. Open plan seating is at the front of the pub and three booths are found at the rear. The lone plasma screen was switched off, no Sky Sports, and there was some background music playing which was inaudible over the chatter. This place is comfortable enough, but a little too food orientated for my liking.
