A damn good looking football team play out of this pub, apparently...

The Stapleton Tavern, Finsbury Park

Went in for the first time in over three years the other day; unfortunately it appeared noone had cleaned the place in all that time. A shame, cos this used to be a nice boozer.

Ye Old Mitre, Holborn

returned to the Mitre today for the start of their Xmas ale festival, its been a few months since my last visit, far too long! Tried a pint of Rosey Nosey, absolutely superb, to be honest though i was spoilt for choice with Adnams Broadside, Deuchars, Phoenix Arizona as well as a selection of Fullers beers.

Had a great chat with John the barman over a pint and a couple of pork pies, what a lovely old geezer, only downside is he supports Chelsea. Which brings me onto my last point; I have to take the previous correspondent to task. John is, in my humble opinion, one of the greatest barmen around in this fair city, he's been working at the Mitre for donkeys years (probably since it was built in 1546!), and knows everything about the pub and the local area. All i can say is, mate, perhaps he burnt your toastie on purpose!!
