East India Arms, Fenchurch Street

I second gallon_at_lunch's review - I also have yet to receive anything less than a tip-top pint here - as in all Neame houses in my experience to date.

The Aldgate Exchange, Aldgate

The integral Thai restaurant, located downstairs, is excellent (booking on Fridays is prudent). Beer generally OK.

The Castle Inn, Bedford

Nice, 'local' feel with a decent corps of regulars. Beer consistently good under current incumbents (Charlie Well's Eagle on permanent with at least one guest - as of writing Wells & Young's Kew). Had a decent meal there a couple of weeks ago and will eat there again.
