The Orange Tree, Chelmsford

A real 'destination' pub - head for it,and stay as long as you can because there is a lot of good beer here.

The Duke Of Wellington, Wareham

The landlord was not interested in telling me anything about the ales he was selling, and made me feel uncomfortable for asking about them before I bought a pint. I had been looking forward to visiting the pub, having read a good review in Good Beer Guide. The beer when it came, was in good condition, but I would not go back there.

The Crows Nest, Port Isaac

Great, friendly staff. Really accommodating and made us feel really welcome. Lots of space, great views. Had some wonderful real ale including Keltek Magik ( yum) and good food. Carpet needed a bit of a clean.

The White Horse, Pleshey

This place has improved greatly in the last year, I have been in fortnightly for a couple of pints and have sampled real ale from Shalford, Brentwood, Mighty Oak and other local breweries which have been absolutely spot-on. I have eaten there twice this year, first was a good snack of tempura prawns, the other was a fabulous rump steak. The White Horse used to have a bit of an identity crisis, but now it's definitely a pub with great beer as well as food.
