10 recommendations submitted on the day.

	The Space Bar E14 › London (Central) Recommended by Andrew Finnegan	A charity owned theatre bar in a grade II listed former church. 'Not for profit' so prices are pretty decent, but no real ale sadly.
	The Swan Hotel Milton Keynes › Buckinghamshire Recommended by Bucking Fastard	Hotel bar on Watling Street,the servery dominates with two wings,the roadside area with circular tables,some leather sofas which the rear section has a few dining type tables,used by hotel guests at meal times but with a pool table at the far end. Th... [more>]
	The Quay Faversham › Kent Recommended by Blue Scrumpy	The Quay can be found listed in the Good Beer Guide but it was quite frankly disappointing. The interior is modern and lacks character, whilst the solitary cask ale was Dark Star Hophead. It seems that in the 13 years since the last reviews, the pub... [more>]
	The Phoenix Tavern Faversham › Kent Recommended by Blue Scrumpy	We were disappointed to find this pub closed for the first couple of weeks of 2025. The lights were on outside, but inside was in darkness. Hopefully, I will get the chance to give it a try some other day.
	The Anchor Faversham › Kent Recommended by Blue Scrumpy	The Anchor is quite a large Shepherd Neame pub at the end of Abbey Street. As you enter, there is a bar and a snug to the right-hand side. The bar contained a wood burner and a piano. The floor is bare boards, with a rather worn rug under one table. ... [more>]
	The Elephant Faversham › Kent Recommended by Blue Scrumpy	The Elephant was one of two standout pubs we visited in Faversham. It's situated on the other side of the railway tracks from the town centre, but easily reached through a subway under the railway line. The interior is a single split-level room, wit... [more>]
	Furlongs Faversham › Kent Recommended by Blue Scrumpy	Furlongs Ale House was not originally on my shortlist of pubs to visit in Faversham. Had the Phoenix not been closed, I wouldn't have visited this micropub. As it was, this was just about my favourite pub of the day in Kent. Although it was very dif... [more>]
	The Three Tuns Faversham › Kent Recommended by Blue Scrumpy	As ETA says below, this was Shepherd Neame's first pub. On a cold and snowy Wednesday night, we were made welcome by who I took to be the landlord and landlady. This is a corner pub found in the middle of a residential area. It has two rooms on diff...

	The Coop Liverpool › Merseyside Recommended by Blue Scrumpy	It's a fair walk from the nearest railway station (Blundellsands & Crosby) to this micropub which can be found in the latest Good Beer Guide. It is another good addition to the local micropub scene, but probably not the finest example of its kind in ... [more>]
	Always Sometimes Liverpool › Merseyside Recommended by Blue Scrumpy	Fairly new bar/micropub opened in a former shop not too far from Waterloo station. Apparently, they have been open around 6 months. The single room is fairly small with the bar occupying the far end. Dogs are welcome and there was definitely a smell... [more>]
