Romilly, Cardiff

Decent real ale selection, though dominated by Brains (this is Cardiff after all). Liked the atmosphere, which was helped by Cardiff City doing well against Nottingham.

The Castle Arms, Edinburgh

Poor real ale selection considering it's location. The Caledonian was disgustingly off and Deuchars was far too warm at about 22C. Bar staff foreigners which seems typical for tourist locations in the UK but really is crap for atmosphere. Food poor. Give this a miss if you care about real ales because the quality of theirs suggests they don't. Probably the worst pub I went to in the UK in 4 weeks.

The Glen Hotel, Newtonmore

Selection of real ales limited but well kept. Bar staff seemed rather bored though certainly polite. Food quite good. Looking around town I doubt any of the other pubs would beat it in any way.

The White House, Bowness on Windermere

Yes, really a restaurant now but with a couple of decent real ales. Highly recommended for the food however, a top meal at a decent price.

The Anchor, Southwark

Crappy pub for a tourist, bar staff are all foreign so it completely lacks the right feel. They have 3 bars in the one area but for some stupid reason the close the bar with the most real ales often, and the mid level bar does not have the same ales as the top bar either.
Overpriced, as with most London pubs, and not the best kept ales I've had.

The Tartan Tavern, Oban

Found this to be a nice pub. Limited selection of real ales but were kept fine. Locals and staff were both friendly. Only negatives to me was it's rather small for 20 odd ppl to watch a Rangers game but certainly atomospheric for it, and smokers being in the doorway because thats where the ashtray is.

Old Road Tavern, Chippenham

Great pub. Good real ale selection for a pub of it's size. Friendly locals and staff. As a jet lagged Aussie was made to feel very welcome.
