The Faulkners Arms, Altrincham

.....Once The Faulkners, now the Malt & Apple & what a horror story of a pub this has become. Some effort (albeit minimal) has been spent refurbing the interior but with green astro-turf on the floor (tricky after a few pints) & a crummp paint job, it'll struggle. That apart, not one for real alers either although I can't see it being one for anyone @ this rate. Some decent memories up in smoke for me!

The Salisbury, Leicester Square

.....well, as a frequenter of this ale house for a few years now, I don't believe there's much you could possibly knock the Salisbury for except for the fact it's not local to my home. The landlord is probably the friendliest chap you could ever hope to meet & that ethic too is certainly evident in the chatty bar staff. Service is superb. The pub's mirrored decor is quite eye caytching although I think it a tad dark throughout @ times. The ales, if not the most exhilarating, are always very well kept & you'll find a pair of guest ales on regularly. Granted, I've never sampled the pub fayre so I couldn't possibly comment but if you're looking for a drink or two in friendly surroundings then do head here - it won't disappoint.
PS. Fuller's "Black Cab" Stout coming soon!

Glasshouse, Norwich

.....wretched bloody pub which seriously dampened an otherwise decent pub crawl with good friends last weekend, I thought the service abysmal and those working the bar utterly clueless. And the ale choice certainly didn't justify the 20 minute wait. AVOID!
