Latest Wye Valley Brewery Pub. Taken over the name from the old "Morgan" on Worcester Road. Obviously normal Wye Valley brews on: HPA, Wye Valley Bitter, Butty Bach & Dorothy Goodbodies Autumn Ale. Nice comfortable pub with A BAR BILLIARDS table. Vast improvement from the old "Cavalry"

Well holburnboy I have been to over 5000 pubs in the UK including over 300 in Scotland and I think it is ONE of the best. Jim Anderson is passionate about beers and brewing, about wines and about Malts. The dining room is a little gloomy but I certainly did not feel underfed on any of the 3 nights I ate there. I was made to feel most welcome in the Public bar (not always the case for a Sassenach in Scotland) and I found the bedrooms clean and comfortable and reasonably priced. I will definitely revisit

Agree mostly with previous vistor; lovely old pub with a good selection of real ales. The food looked good and reasonably priced but � 92 for Bed & Breakfast! In a pub?

The Lamplighters, Shirehampton
Previously visited in 2003, shame to see it in this condition. Considering it's position, let's hope something can be done with it.

Agree with previous; it does appear to mostly cater for the food trade but the beer I had was good (Hook Norton, Hooky Best) BUT �0-95 for a bag of crisps!
Thanks but no thanks. Shame as nice building and the proper food looked good if a little expensive (for my budget)

Excellent pub, friendly locals, good beer and managed to park 20 yards away.
Will revisit when next in town

I did have a very good pint of Bass and free crisps! Barmaid efficient but no seaview from bar as it's on the side. Worth a revisit.

The Coastguard Inn, St Margarets Bay
Only the location raises the score. Poor service (nobody behind the bar for 5 minutes; could have poured a pint, drunk it and left & no-one the wiser. Then they had the cheek to ask if I was waiting! The beer was not worth waiting for. Will not be back

Yes the landlord did bang on a bit about the beers but I did start the conversation! The beers were good and the pub OK. Maybe I'll try the White Hart next time

The Triangle Tavern, Lowestoft
Didn't see any spit or sawdust but I know what you mean. Well run town centre pub with excellent beer although the Grasshopper was past it's best. Certainly worth a revisit.

St Peters Hall, St Peter South Elmham
Fantastic old building with adjacent brewery (St Peters) Consequently very good beer,tried the mild-excellent. Dining room is spectacular but did't eat here so cannot comment. Well worth a visit for the building alone!

Lovely old pub with waht looks like original furniture.
Nethergate real ale and excellent food at reasonable price; well worth a revisit.

The Feathers Hotel, Dersingham
Lovely upmarket accommodation at reasonable price.
Good beer (Fox from nearby Heacham) Standard pub fare but again reasonable.
New owners finding their feet; give it a try.

1st visit 07/04/07 Home of the Houston Brewery tried the Warlock Stout-it was brilliant-best beer I have ever had in Scotland apart from the short lived but much missed Devanha
19 Apr 2007 22:52
1st visit 06/04/07 Good selection of at least 3 Atlas beers plus another 4/5 other Scottish beer. Crowded but good service- Food looked good but long queues for tables.

1st visit 06/04/07 Home of the Devon Brewery-tried the 70/- good condition & temp. Service a little slow

Typical Wetherspoons conversion. Good value food and Exmoor ale was OK.

The Old Crown, Hesket Newmarket
1st visit 08/04/07 Excellent village pub-what a local should be like. Good Hesket Newmarket real ale-Blencathra was my choice-not quite my style but in good condition.

A real find. Unchanged and unspoilt. Conversation is the only entertainment-(Thank goodness) Good beer too!

The New Barrack Tavern, Sheffield
Yet another great pub on the N. Sheffield crawl. Good food-good choice of beers-excellent for away fans as Hillsborough is only 10 min walk away
30 Mar 2007 10:06
The Hillsborough Hotel, Sheffield
Another on my North Sheffield crawl- Why aren't all hotels this good?
30 Mar 2007 10:03
Another MUST VISIT when in Sheffield. Fanatastic range of beer and even draught perry from Westons on my last visit. A little out of the way and the neighbourhood is a bit run down but it is a beacon of light. Miss this at your peril!
30 Mar 2007 10:01
Always on my list of MUSTS in Sheffield Never been disappointed.
30 Mar 2007 09:58
Called in early doors on a Sunday-no home brew but a good half of Landlord-quite tricky to find but worth it. Nice locals pub

The Pear Tree Inn, Hook Norton
After buying beer at the brewery,stopped for a swift half. Excellent pub+excellent beer. Food looked good but not tried. Lots of Hook Norton personnel so must be good.
30 Mar 2007 09:43

The Great Western, Wolverhampton
Always visit this pub if in the area. Can get crowded home match lunchtimes but the service of drinks AND food is excellent as is the value. CAMRA National Pub of the Year 1991 and no wonder. Great pub

The Crown and Anchor Inn, Findhorn
Good Beer Guide tour of Scotland 1985-1st stop on Sunday lunchtime. Stopped for just a half. Stayed the night! Excellent beer (Devanha XXX)great food+fantastic jukebox+live music+interesting mixed customers. What more could you ask?
9 Feb 2007 18:49
Probably visit this excellent pub 2-3 times a month. Always a new real ale to try; decent value, pleasant staff
8 Feb 2007 18:22
I have been to this pub every year for 6 years and never had a bad pint. Agree can get crowded but no wonder! Again no food loses it 1 point. AAAA1
