The Four Horseshoes, Long Sutton

Complete gem of a pub. Cosy interior with two open fires on the go when we visited, lots of trinkets scattered around, friendly owners and locals. Very genuine.
Had a pint of Yumi and half a Pride and Joy - very well kept and best real ale I've had in ages.
Had a good chat with everyone in there and got to meat Harry the Dalmatian, who is a big softy and lovely.
Trust me, you can ignore the negative comments that were made back in 2007 - obviously made by those who look down their nose at others, this pub is not for the likes of them - we'll keep it to ourselves!
Looking forward to our next visit.

The Portland Arms, St Albans

Came here on the Abbey flyer Rail Ale Trail. Been a good few years since I've been to this pub. Absolutely fantastic: warm, welcoming and well-kept real ale. Got speaking to the landlady who has been there for a few months now and she was really friendly. The best pub on our trip, cannot fault it.

The Slug and Lettuce, Farnham

I often go in the Slug and pretty much every time they manage to annoy me in some way or another. This last Saturday night was no exception. I came in with a work Xmas party and to be fair there were a fair few people that had had a drink. However, when I went to the bar they refused to serve me as I was "too intoxicated". This was absolutely ridiculous and I was certainly not that bad. Three others of my party received the same treatment seemingly picked at random (funny how none of the girls got kicked out eh?). We were not rowdy, we were not rude we were just enjoying our time and it was completely unnecessary. I was simply sitting down enjoying a pint chatting to my friends. The only good point I can say about this pub is that the quality of real ale was very good. I just wish a little intelligence would be used to find those that genuinely would cause problems. I will not go back and neither will any of my party. Terrible terrible service.
