I visited the Feathers today whilst in Ludlow on business. Having never been to Ludlow before, it seemed obvious to call in.
Outside the facade is amazing, real history. Inside the old part of the building is pure history, lots of timber and lots of atmosphere.
Unfortunately the bar is newer, but pleasant enough. No irritating telly or background music to contend with.
The Feathers provide a good location to meet with a client. Good coffee and biscuits, followed later by a pint and sandwiches. Three ales were on sale, the Hobsons Old Prickly proving very good, at reasonable at £3.20 a pint.
Decent service certainly concluded a good experience. 10/10.

The Nottingham Arms, Tewkesbury
Pleasing Fourteenth-century town-centre pub with a public bar at the front and rear restaurant. Five real ales are on offer, including St Austell Tribute, Wye Valley HPA and Butty Bach, and we found them all kept in first class condition. Well-priced contemporary food is also served lunchtimes and evenings. Friendly staff who are more than happy to tell you about the resident ghosts!

I went to the Pilot having been recommended as it is a CAMRA award winning pub with it's own brewery on-site. The staff were friendly and offered useful advice on the range of beers available.
The pub is situated in a great location on the front at The Mumbles overlooking Swansea Bay. It seemed very popular with locals and visitors alike, as the small premises were crowded with Saturday night drinkers.
The range of real ales is excellent and includes guest beers as well as those actually brewed in the pub. Pilot Gold was a delicious pint!
Thoroughly recommended and will certainly visit again when in that area.

Lovely 16th century pub near Blenheim Palace. Stone walls and lots of beams together with suits of armour give great character. 4 ales available. Good fair priced food. Popular with families and walkers.

The Crowborough Cross, Crowborough
Now a Wetherspoons, which on this occasion is a pleasant change! Previously it was a pub that was dark, dingy, uncomfortable and a bit rough.
Now it is bright, clean and comfortable. We ordered a traditional breakfast and were happy with the food. The staff were friendly polite and efficient. We were brought our meal in timely fashion and it represented great value for money.
Usual lineup of beers from Ruddles, Adnams etc but OK.
There is a small issue with parking, there were only a few spaces. However we can recommend a visit
