The New Inn, Gloucester

There are four bars at the New Inn Hotel, including an award winning Real Ale Bar that offers 12 different cask ales, a coffee shop serving teas and cakes and a restaurant that can accommodate up to 48 people. We called in the evening for a drink hoping to see at least one of the resident ghosts and maybe have my pint thrown off the table as in the video on the BBC website. Sadly no ghost were seen. They day after we callled in for lunch. We did not go into the restaurant for what looks to be a very popular carvery but instead chose to eat in the Bar. I had a Cheese and bacon burger with chips and my girlfriend had a lovely Chilli and Rice that was home made and tasted great.

Fountain Inn, Gloucester

We called in the Fountain Inn after having a good walk around Gloucester and we were really thankfull of the large open fire in the bar area. The fountain Inn is a great place and is packed full of history.

The Black Cock Inn, Caerphilly

I had read about this Inn and about it's food on quite a few websites as it is very popular.
We arrived about 20:40 so we were just in time as they stop stop serving at nine. We were made very welcome and certainly made to feel at home. We got some drinks and settled down with the menu while enjoying a great pint.
After studying the menu for some time i opted for the Mixed grill.
It Has to be one of if not the best mixed grill i have had. there was plenty off it with Sirloin Steak, Gammon, Lamb Cutlet, Pork Steak, Black pudding, Sausage, Eggs and some lovely home made chips. It was really delicious, my friend had lamb shank with mash and fresh veg.
I would certainly like to visit again, if you get there before 19:00 you can get 2 meals for the price of one.
