	The Marquis of Granby SW1 › London (Central) Recommended by Will Larter	A fine looking pub with a pewter-topped counter, with wood panelling and a footrail, somewhat spoiled by the grey paint on the wood. It's a fairly plain and rectangular room, but pleasant enough. At the time of my visit the bar had three beers (since... [more>]
	The Kings Arms Arundel › West Sussex Recommended by paulof horsham	The Kings Arms is as traditional as ever with a friendly crowd of regulars. My recent visit saw 5 ales (Pride, Summer Lightning, with one from each of Langham, Only With Love and Goldmark), plus craft keg in the form of Neck Oil. 2 ciders were also l... [more>]
	Rose & Crown SW1 › London (Central) Recommended by Will Larter	A basic street corner local at the base of a small block of flats. There were two beers available on hand pump: London Pride and Doom Bar. I went for the Pride, which was past its best. Date of visit: 9th February 2022
	The Pear Tree W6 › London (Greater) Recommended by Will Larter	I had this one in my sights because of its Camra Heritage Interior listing, which seems a little peculiar given its history. The whole front of the pub was extended in the early 20th century, as shown by the pillar in front of the bar, directly under... [more>]
	The Express Tavern Brentford › London (Greater) Recommended by Will Larter	I've heard good things about this pub, but perhaps visiting it in the evening was not such a good idea. I'm used to quieter afternoon pubs these days, and the relatively busy nature of the later crowd was a little off-putting for me. Not just with Co... [more>]
	The Blackbird SW5 › London (Central) Recommended by Will Larter	With the look of a traditional London corner pub, but as mentioned below actually a far more recent conversion from another use, this is a single room boozer that seems to be popular with quite a young crowd. It's well placed just across the road fro... [more>]
	The Goose SW6 › London (Greater) Recommended by Will Larter	A large street corner pub with everything on a grand scale. The woman behind the bar was the licensee, I guessed, from the way she spoke about the pub. She'd seen me taking some photos and apologised for the state of the place, saying it has been due...

	Old Fountain EC1 › London (Central) Recommended by Will Larter	This pub off Old Street is bigger than suspected, with a back room at a slightly different height from the lower room at the front. The bar is on the left, with five hand pumps - one real cider and four real ales. An unusual choice of beers from Hobs... [more>]
	The Red Lion Arundel › West Sussex Recommended by paulof horsham	The Red Lion offered a comfortable room on a hot afternoon, with my seat looking out on to the High Street. I found 3 ales & 1 cider coming through the pumps - Doom Bar & Landlord fortunately supplemented with "Chaff" (4.7% & definitely hazy!) from F... [more>]
	The Beaumont Hotel Hexham › Northumberland Recommended by Real Ale Ray	As you enter this cafe bar you will notice "Queens Hotel" written in mosaics in the front lobby, from a previous era. The interior in here was quite plush with the staff smartly dressed and with an air of distinction. The bar area was finished in a d... [more>]
	Platform Bar Hexham › Northumberland Recommended by Real Ale Ray	A very handy one room bar which benefits some of the locals who pop in, train passengers, and also receives small groups of people visiting here as a destination pub/bar. Along with a choice of three ales and one cider on our visit, this bar also off... [more>]
	The Falcon Inn Skipton › North Yorkshire Recommended by Will Larter	A recent visit on a Monday afternoon found the young barman decrying the lack of customers, though he did admit that at least he was being paid for being there. After my arrival (shortly before 2pm) some others did appear, but the fact that no food a... [more>]
	The Queen Inn Winchester › Hampshire Recommended by Quinno _	Quite a few on – maybe more than I thought sensible on a boiling hot day. Now has its own microbrewery, installed in Spring 2022. Decided to get stuck into the homebrew and regretted it; the Pillowcases was a dreadful alkaline metallic mess (that wei... [more>]
	Black Boy Winchester › Hampshire Recommended by Quinno _	Remains a beguiling place. Sadly on a hot day my choice of Flack Manor Gold was flabby and lacklustre (NBSS 2). Worth a visit for the interior but not somewhere that truly excels when the going gets tough on the cask. 8.5 February 2017 This eclectic... [more>]
	The Hyde Tavern Winchester › Hampshire Recommended by Quinno _	Another Winchester classic where things tick along year-in, year-out. Four cask pumps with one on stillage. I went for a Triple FFF Pressed Rat (NBSS 3) which just made the grade towards the end of a hot day. The welcome at the bar was friendly and i... [more>]
