The Duke Of Wellington, Marylebone
Superb Well's professionally served in a deafeningly quiet quirky and altogether enjoyable setting. 8/10.

Afternoon visit was fantastic. 5 less usual real ales, a wonderful hostess, and cozy atmosphere. 8/10.

Three afternoon visits have confirmed excellent seafood, well kept Abbott Ale, great atmosphere, and friendly service from the bar staff. Only blemish is the cheerless, impatient manager (although he may be the reason for the quality). 9/10.

Associating one's brewery (Wychwood) to this pub would seem to be a business liability. 4/10.

The Three Horseshoes, Letchmore Heath
Wonderful location and well kept Adnams and Landlord. Historic link to "Village of the Damned" and "Avengers". Standard food. 7/10.

The Jerusalem Tavern, Clerkenwell
I've always gone for the beer and have finally tried the food. Great. Wonderful pub, good food, great staff. One of my favorites, but yes, smoke filled. 9/10.

Excellent selection of real ales and a real ale atmosphere. Go for the drink not the place. 7/10.

The Dolphin Tavern, Bloomsbury
Pride and Pedigree on. Comfortable enough. Nothing outstanding. 6/10.

Rebellion Brewery's tap house, just 1/4 mile from the brewery, regularly serves all of Rebellion's current brews. The food is consistently good and the service friendly. 7/10.

Nice backstreet pub. Regular ales are Bass, Adnams, and London Pride, usually with one guest. 6/10.

Comfortable interior. Although a Free House only the area's usual suspects were on for real ale (Greene King, Young's, Courage, Wells). I can't remark on condition as no one was motivated enough to serve me. I took my hard-earned pay and patronage elsewhere. 6/10.

The Snowdonia Parc Free House, Waunfawr
An ambitious attempt at a restaurant, brewery, and campsite that suffers from overextension. Beer is great, food horrible, layout strange, service friendly but sporadic. 6/10.

Average pub with standard real ales. Fairly large. Comfortable when quiet. 6/10.

Comfortable easy-feeling place with well kept St. Austell's. 7/10.

The Carpenters Arms, Marble Arch
Enjoyable relaxed pub with friendly service. I applaud the choice of real ales but a simultaneous tasting of three had curious results. One was quite cold, one hot, and the third was definitely off. Three cellars?? I'll try again and report back. 6/10.

Comfortable country pub with friendly staff and patrons. 5 real ales (one on gravity) and decent food. 7/10.

Exceptional home cooked food in a traditional atmosphere. Friendly service and one well kept real ale. 8/10.

Home of the Trossachs Craft Brewery and wonderful home-cooked Scottish fare. Friendly and helpful staff and very welcoming to children. Log fires and a pleasant garden make it comfortable in any season. 8/10.

Authenticity is its hallmark. Nothing fake, contrived, or plastic. 4 hand pumps serving Young's, Jenning's, and a guest. Friendly staff. Always an enjoyable evening. 7/10.

Spacious non-descript pub with aforementioned locals, no negativity my night. Outdoor seating in back looks over car park. London Pride the sole real ale. 6/10.
7 Sep 2005 08:49
Comfortable local pub. Nice decor with the ubiquitous Greene King IPA and Abbott Ale on for real ales. 6/10

The Castle in The Air, Fareham
Friendly pub - recommended by our cabbie. Greene King IPA only real ale. 6/10.
7 Sep 2005 08:37
Real ales listed on chalkboard at entrance (something I find very helpful). Pleasant decor inside and a concrete beer garden courtyard. 6/10.

The Still and West, Portsmouth
As stated by all location and Gales Real Ale make this for an enjoyable pub. 7/10

Very spacious, standard Ember Inns establishment. Generally well kept with some outside patio seating. Usually 1 or 2 real ales. 6/10.

A McMullen's pub with average food and McMullen's real ales. Outdoor seating has a nice view of the lake, but unfortunately of the busy road as well. 6/10.

An average Weatherspoons pub, not as dingy as some, prices low as usual, standard food, real ale usually on, changing, and of varying quality. I've got no info on andy101's shutting it down comment. 6/10.

Hall & Woodhouse pub in a pleasant rural setting. Good selection of Badger Ales. Nice interior with an area for large groups. I've no experience of the food.
25 Aug 2005 11:01
A very nice garden for pleasant days and a 17th c. interior for dining. Very friendly staff, good food and reasonable lunch specials. Real ale is usually Young's Special or Greene King IPA.

Great view looking south over the fields with a good playground. However, no other reason to go. Bad beer, bad service, bad food.

The Moon and Sixpence, Hatch End
Dingy and not well kept. Real ales were on, but uninspiring.
25 Aug 2005 08:05
The menu and food is excellent, children are welcome, and there are usually two real ales on. However, the recent refurbishment tends result in divided opinions. Some say clean and tidy, others say plastic and fake. I like it.

Anonymous (3Apr 2005)captures this pub perfectly. I visited in June and concur completely.
24 Aug 2005 16:11
I agree with Tuna (below). Sticky tables, sweaty rugs, sour beer. Steer clear.

The Land of Liberty, Peace and Plenty, Heronsgate
A great selection of well-kept ever changing real ales. Great hosts! Parents: Under 14's only allowed in outside garden.

Bertha's, Fells Point
A Fells Point institution, Bertha's serves their famed mussels with excellent Guinness, and local real ale on the hand pump. Friendly staff and casual atmosphere make for a great pub. 7/10.
