Decent pub with hockey shirts plastered to the ceiling, uninspiring ale choice, but nothing wrong with the quality.
26 Jan 2016 11:24
Good pub, not really a "micro" pub as it is quite big and has piped music. Beer served direct from the cask, all ales tried of good quality. Hard to find, as located up a alleyway.
26 Jan 2016 11:22
Always has a good pint or three/four avaiable. Quality very good, Landlord friendly, overall a good micro pub, and worth a visit.
11 Jan 2016 11:36
Nice pub, poor ale quality as the Old Dairy was like vinegar. Shame.
6 Jan 2016 12:28
Another micro pub with a bit more of a locals feel. All beer of good standard.
6 Jan 2016 12:27
Enjoyed the Sheps winter ale. Decent enough boozer on the sea front. Worth a visit.
6 Jan 2016 12:25
The Bouncing Barrel, Herne Bay
Friendly micro pub just off the High Street. All ales on were tried and all of good quality.
6 Jan 2016 12:24
Good locals pub in the High Street, serving decent Sheps ales.
6 Jan 2016 12:23
Small cosy pub serving quality ale, a must when in the city.

The Willoughby Arms, Kingston Upon Thames
Like I said in April, if you don't suppport the festivals they will stop. No more festivals planned, St.George's day planned to have themed beers through pumps only.
Still best pub in Kingston!
12 Nov 2015 13:28
Why the band saturday nights? I have been to quieter Motorhead gigs. Beer still good!
9 Nov 2015 15:41
Brigantes Bar and Brasserie, York
Always a good choice of well kept ales in this bar. 23 ciders and perries on this visit. Always a must in York and handy for the station.
27 Oct 2015 13:00
Great brewery bar serving the whole York range of ales. friendly staff and good beer. No fruit machines or music, so you can sit and have a decent chat without having your ears blasted. New toilets a good improvement.
27 Oct 2015 12:58
My favourite pub in York. Friendly staff and Great Heck Citra, I will say no more other than a must when in York.
27 Oct 2015 09:41
Great view of the Minster from the garden, and a decent pint of guzzler.
27 Oct 2015 09:38
Was in early Saturday with five mates. Ordered five pints of Oakham Bishops farewell, which was superb. We sat at a table by the door, well away from the diners. After 10 minutes a reserved sign was plonked on the table with a "this table is reserved at 5.30" The time was 5.15. The Sun needs to decide if it is a pub or restaurant and clearly state if tables are reserved (which I don't agree with in pubs) long before the due time of arrival. We moved to the Hope and The Sun lost five drinkers money, as we would have stayed for more.
19 Oct 2015 13:51
Good pub (no sign outside) serving great ales by friendly Landlord.
16 Oct 2015 12:37
Still best pub (in my opinion) in Margate. Busy and welcoming, managed to get a table outside overlooking the harbour....................................fantastic.
12 Oct 2015 10:50
Yet another micro pub opened up and run by a welcoming licensee (Sean) beer is kept in a cool room and is of a good quality. Friendly locals and a nice view (binoculars provided) over the sea and harbour.
12 Oct 2015 10:48
Visited a few times in the Summer, and found the ale a tad warm and not in the best condition. Visited again on 10/10/15 and beer perfect, in fact best beer of the day. Hopefully teething issues sorted. Two girls serving very chatty and welcoming.
12 Oct 2015 10:38
The Masons Arms, Lower Odcombe
Nice thatched boozer worth the detour from Yeovil. Own brews very good as was the guest ale. Sat in the garden watching a dog show! Recommended
14 Sep 2015 12:13
Nice old traditional pub with friendly landlord. Great pint of Plain ales Innsperation.
14 Sep 2015 12:08
Typical micro pub, no music or fruit machines (or lager) run by friendly Governor. Tables down either side of the walls, with bar at far end.
Worth a visit.
13 Jul 2015 10:29
Unfortunately arrived here on a really hot day and after a few ales. The beers tried and warm, a Hackney and Adnams were tired tasting, a victim of the hot weather? Staff quick and chatty, maybe just a bad day.
8 Jul 2015 13:20
Just gets better and better (now in larger premises a door down)
23 Jun 2015 15:07
Another busy bar, a bit hot for my liking. Lots of people sitting outside. Decent range of ales on, all in good nick. There is a pool room upstairs if you fancy a game. Both Scarborough ales nice. Friendly bar staff and locals.
9 Jun 2015 14:17
Busy bar with live music on Thursday evening. Food looked good, and decent range of ales.
9 Jun 2015 14:14
The Grainstore Brewery, Oakham
Busy on a Monday evening. Serving good quality Grainstore ales at a very reasonable price. Good atmosphere among the locals.
9 Jun 2015 14:13
North Riding Hotel, Scarborough
Loved it. The Equinox was outstanding. A must if in Scarborough!
9 Jun 2015 14:00
Good Youngs house away from the noise of Brixtons main drag.
Blonde on top form, nice garden at back and additional seating out on the front.
18 May 2015 11:52
Dave the Governor sadly leaves on June 1st A sad day indeed. Thanks for all the fun and quality ales.
7 May 2015 12:57
Struck lucky as a beer festival was going on. Excellent choice of ales all well kept. Good large pub serving good food. well worth the visit if passing.
28 Apr 2015 12:21
The Willoughby Arms, Kingston Upon Thames
Another fantastic beer festival. Really deserves to be much better supported.
28 Apr 2015 12:19
Good music venue serving good quality ales. Burning sky Plateau superb...............
A decent all round boozer.
20 Apr 2015 13:29
Best pub in Gateshead. No frills just good ale and nice people.
20 Apr 2015 13:26
Old Star Ale and Cider House, Shoreham by Sea
Good little micro pub serving three ales direct from the cask. Hugh is a very welcoming host, and very keen to talk about the ales. Shoreham is a decent little pub crawl.
20 Apr 2015 13:18
Still a good boozer, a little emptier these day's. Decent quality ale and choice. The Pratt in the wheelchair with the Man City crap on needs to learn some manners!
20 Apr 2015 13:06
Always worth a visit. Good old fashioned boozer with good ales. Would recommend.
2 Apr 2015 10:52
Decent back street pub, uninspiring ale choice on my visit, but busy on a Saturday night.
2 Apr 2015 10:51
The Fly in the Loaf, Liverpool
Large trendy boozer. Good quality Okells IPA. Noisy, and this without any entertainment.
2 Apr 2015 10:49
Mobbed pub selling decent beer. Visited Friday evening and Saturday early evening.
2 Apr 2015 10:47
Enjoyed the Wapping ales, decent boozer, but back room reserved for diners.
2 Apr 2015 10:44
The Burton Bridge Inn, Burton-Upon-Trent
Still best pub in Burton. Shame the plum porter was not on. All ales on were in good nick.
12 Feb 2015 12:36
Really impressed with choice of ales on. Only two from Gree*e Ki*g.
All on good form, hope new Landlord is successful.
12 Jan 2015 12:03
More a large wine bar, Decent range of Oakham ales.
Wouldn't rush back, as not a pub.
6 Jan 2015 12:23
Nice enough pub. Decent ale, strange music in the background, Dead Kennedys then jazz/funk.
22 Dec 2014 09:12
No problems with this pub, found it friendly, served a good pint of Jarrow Rivett Catcher. Opposite Tottenham court road tube.
22 Dec 2014 09:09
Small one bar pub with food available upstairs.
Four ales on with the Chelsea Blonde in really good nick.
22 Dec 2014 09:07
Standard one bar boozer with restaurant upstairs.
Had pint of Knight of the garter, served ice cold, after I refused the one that was going to be given to me standing on the drip tray already pulled.
22 Dec 2014 09:03
Decent enough boozer, mobbed on Saturday evening. Beer quality good.
24 Nov 2014 12:39
Dissapointing pint of SPA, a bit tired. seem to be in the way everywhere you stand at the bar. Over rated.
24 Nov 2014 12:37
First time visited, but it wont be my last. Had long chat with Martyn and drank kent IPA, which was delicious! A few peope in and a very friendly atmosphere.
10 Nov 2014 14:26
Neat and tidy micro well worth a visit, only had time for one but it was on top form.
10 Nov 2014 14:22
9.30pm on a wet and windy Saturday night, six people in, good atmosphere and Whitstable Dana to kill for. Really enjoyable.
10 Nov 2014 14:17
The Sixfields - Hungry Horse, Northampton
Typical Hungry Horse boozer serving Greene King ales. OK while waiting for a cab back into town
3 Nov 2014 12:09
Really good boozer, serving top ales. Oakham Citra on top form.
3 Nov 2014 12:06
Truly wonderful Oakham festival on when walked in after football.
Some old favourites, all on top form.
3 Nov 2014 12:04
Good find after leaving Carpenters Arms. Decent ale choice and well kept.
30 Oct 2014 15:27
The Carpenters Arms, Marble Arch
Visited twice, both times on a Saturday evening and twice only two beers on offer!
Poor
30 Oct 2014 15:25
Use it or lose it, traditional back street boozer, great quality Sheps ale and wonderful Landlord.
15 Oct 2014 15:06
Well wort the visit, done this on way back to station. Friendly locals and good quality ale. Perfect. Flying Monk in very good condition.
6 Oct 2014 12:12
Sandford Park Ale House, Cheltenham
Found the Landlord to be pleasant enough. Good choice of ales, on my visit leaning towards Oakham (4 on) all good quality.
6 Oct 2014 12:10
The Old Restoration, Cheltenham
Empty early Saturday, good choice of beers on and the one I tried was very good.
Would pop in again if in Cheltenham.
6 Oct 2014 12:08
The Shipwrights Arms, Faversham
Decent remote pub, seving Goachers ales from the cask. Take your bins and go for a walk, you will be amazed at what you can see.
29 Sep 2014 15:06
Micro pub on main street. Tables either side with ale served at bottom of room. Superb pint of Mad Cat Pow wow.
29 Sep 2014 15:04
Advertised a beer festival fron 25/09/14, so thought I would pop in and support a local pub.
Asked if there was a copy of the beers that were coming on and was told "no"..................decided on pint of Butcombe Haka, most disgusting, poorly kept beer I have expirienced, warm and very tired, how they managed this in today's age is a mystery. This appears to be a mostly lager sales pub, and if they cannot look after a beer, I would suggest they do not hold a beer festival, I dread to think what state the champion beer of britain was in.
29 Sep 2014 11:05
Trafalgar Freehouse, South Wimbledon
Traf reborn, and serving good quality ales, although on my three visits so far, Downton and Surrey Hills have featured. please hop it up Roger
26 Aug 2014 12:33
The Windsor Castle, Carshalton
Came in early Friday on way to the Hope.
Best quality ale I have had for a long time.
Will be back again soon
18 Aug 2014 13:59
Very good, well run pub serving Sheps ales along with two guests. Food good, beer festival worth a visit.
Nice garden for the Summer months, and drinking area also available at front of pub. Plenty of parking at side.
18 Aug 2014 13:52
Great boozer, packed on football day's but get served quickly and politely. Oakham endless summer in top form.
Only pub I would use in Luton
18 Aug 2014 09:40
Beer good quality, no room at bar.
Bloke behind jump with blue Cambridge Blue T-shirt needs to cheer up
18 Aug 2014 09:38
Never had any problem with the Lifeboat. After speaking to Julian he says he has no intention of selling up, and I am pleased with that.. Gadds Festivale on 12/07/14 in great form.
14 Jul 2014 09:49
Lovely location, small welcoming micro pub, usually three ales on plus various cider/perry. Well worth a visit along with the Northern Belle a few minutes walk away.
14 Jul 2014 09:42
Great quality Oakham ales in a decent setting, good to see the brewery!
11 Jul 2014 13:48
Still best pub in Margate, well done Dave! Harbour arms also worth a visit.
11 Jul 2014 13:45
First time back in since September 12. Beer range not as good, Courage Best was fine apart from being a little warm.
17 Jun 2013 15:14
Nice clean boozer overlooking the Lanes.
Beer never a problem.
14 Jun 2013 12:51
As always, never dissapoints. Dark Star beers always 100%
14 Jun 2013 12:46
Small one bar establishment, with a small raised area with more seating.
Friendly staff, Brighton Bier Porter very good.
14 Jun 2013 12:42
In on Saturday 20th April, FIVE superb quality ales on offer.
Well done Pete.
22 Apr 2013 12:26
Good quality ales in a decent boozer. Drank proper job and Sheps Masterbrew, both good.
22 Apr 2013 12:25
Visited on Saturday evening 6th April, pub busy with people eating and drinking, Roosters beer very good, didn't try the Arbor beer on offer as it was described as malty.
sat outside under the heaters, pleasant evening.
9 Apr 2013 12:50
Good and friendly pub with quality ales, mostly darker than to my normal taste on my visit. Pork pies with a variety of pickles on offer.
Don't point or you will get your fingers taped together ;-)
8 Apr 2013 15:27
Friendly pub, but expensive! Dissapointed with the ale range, 5 nationals and 2 independents, all well kept.
18 Mar 2013 09:01
Decent pub selling Triple FFF beers which were of a wonderful quality.
18 Mar 2013 09:00
First visit for ages. Good old fashioned pub with a variety of good quality ales.
15 Mar 2013 09:38
large boozer opposite Waterloo station, and as such was expecting very little. Suprised by the quality of the Seafarer and how pleasant pub was.
15 Mar 2013 09:36
The Kemble Brewery Inn, Cheltenham
Goob, basic boozer selling decent ales.
Free grub on a Saturday lunch before footy.
Understand it is about to be taken over, wish the new people good luck.
4 Mar 2013 08:48
Cheltenham Motor Club, Cheltenham
Agree with blue scrumpy, wonderful and friendly club.
Had Dark Star Blackness and Marble Pint, both top quality. Three guests compliment two regulars and one cider.
Would be shocked if they don't win national club of the year.
4 Mar 2013 08:45
Much improved range and quality of beers (Marston range)
popped in on 3 cosecutive days over the Christmas holiday and enjoyed my visits.
The only gripe I have is that on all 3 days the peace was ruined by crying/screaming babies.
8 Jan 2013 08:58
Thought this was a decent locals boozer, with 3 ales on. Those tried Phoenix and Greenmill were in good condition.
8 Jan 2013 08:55
If there is a beer on at a special low price be advised to ask for a taste before you buy.
The £2.50 ale on Jan 5th was very tired indeed.
8 Jan 2013 08:54
Well deserved local CAMRA POY.
Good range of ales available, all of good quality.
Food looked decent as well, well worth a visit.
8 Jan 2013 08:51
The Post Office Vaults, Burslem
Small bar with good quality ales (Oakham Citra Superb)
Needs to sort the opening time out, advertises as a 10am opening, but we were left standing in the rain until 11.10am on 22nd Dec.
3 Jan 2013 13:03
Standard boozer with big screen for sport. Yorkshire terrier was of good quality, beer choice dissapointing but so much choice elswhere.
5 Nov 2012 09:53
Brigantes Bar and Brasserie, York
Wine bar atmosphere, good ales, Leeds gold very good. Two friendly bar staff who knew the ales working on Saturday morning (03/11). Well worth the visit.
5 Nov 2012 09:50
Friendly pub with a brewery challenge taking place, great idea. All ales were in great condition.
Will visit again.
5 Nov 2012 08:35
Friendly, large pub with good quality ales, although they are a bit unadventurous.
25 Oct 2012 11:39
The Old Town Hall, Poulton Le Fylde
Can be a bit noisy by the pool table. Good quality ales make it worth the visit.
23 Oct 2012 13:22
Busy pub, with beer festival on my visit. Banks Sunbeam superb @ �1.99 a pint.
Food good value too.
23 Oct 2012 11:33
Do characters include some drunken sort abusing all and sundry on Friday evening, I found it amusing, but some didn't. Still good ales served.
10 Oct 2012 12:04
Can't understand the lack of reviews for this pub.
Good quality, mainly locale ales served in an old fashioned pub just out of the town centre.
10 Oct 2012 12:01
Good traditional boozer, very quiet lunchtime.
Golden Pippin very good quality.
9 Oct 2012 12:31
Best pub visited in Durham. Packed early Wednesday evening. Quite old fashioned. Good local Durham ale on.
9 Oct 2012 12:28
Best beer of the day! One of the Piddles in the something, I can't remember.
Nice bar staff!
24 Sep 2012 11:50
The Jolly Cricketers, Seer Green
Nice enough place. Rammed with diners, beer fine but choice a bit bland.
24 Sep 2012 11:42
Le De Spencers Arms, High Wycombe
Nice pub and friendly staff.
Wild river not the best, Seafarer made up for it.
24 Sep 2012 11:39
Haven't visited the Alex for some time due to variable beer quality. Pleased to say my visit on 23/6/12 that the ale was on top form, especially enjoyed the London Gold. A bit pricey though!
25 Jun 2012 12:34
The Craft Beer Co, City of London
Downstairs is an impersonal bar, didn't go upstairs.
Fantastic range of ales, bottles and foreign kegs.
Friendly staff, ale of great quality.
18 Jun 2012 13:22
The Seven Stars, Chancery Lane
Decent boozer, great pint of Hophead, would imagine it gets mobbed dinner times and evenings.
18 Jun 2012 13:18
Attended the beer festival on Saturday 9th June. Good festival with good quality ales, one issue I have is the �5 donation (entrance) for charity. Saw at least three people turn away bacause they only wanted a �, Surely it would have been best to serve them, and have a bucket or a raffle for the charity.
Food also of a good quality, and friendly bar staff.
11 Jun 2012 09:56
Decent basic one bar pub with pool tables at the back.
Cracking pint of the Milk Street Usual.
Locals pub!
8 Jun 2012 13:56
Promising pub, decent pint of Ruddles. May be worth another visit if in Poole.
8 Jun 2012 13:53
Good quality ale served in decent pub and by friendly staff.
21 May 2012 12:21
One of the best pubs I have been in! Great beer in a lovely pub,
27 Apr 2012 12:59
The Willoughby Arms, Kingston Upon Thames
Best St George's day festival yet! Well done Rick.
23 Apr 2012 09:57
Visited on bank holiday Monday with a coach load...............phoned the Landlord first and asked if Whitstable EIPA could possably be put on for us...............we arrived and EIPA was on, many Thanks to the Landlord for arranging this.
Pub very quiet, and beer quality as good as ever.
Worth a visit.
11 Apr 2012 14:03
Cosy pub, good quality ale, friendly staff and..................pickled eggs.
Looks like Hoppyal chose the wrong pub!
11 Apr 2012 12:34
Modern bar/pub with a good selection of well kept ales.
Always seemed busy.
3 Apr 2012 12:28
The Fox and Goose, Hebden Bridge
Good basic pub with a choice of ales.
Locals and staff friendly, best pub in town.
3 Apr 2012 12:26
Good locals boozer with the excellent Fox beers brewed on the premises. Had chat with friendly brewer about Fox's willy (ooer).
Reccommended.
27 Mar 2012 12:28
The Ancient Mariner, Hunstanton
Beer tired - what there was available, vegetarian food option rubbish! If you are changing over to a Summer menu, at least have veggie options! If this is what happens when the Landlord is not around for a few day's I hope he doesn't decide on a two week holiday.
26 Mar 2012 12:21
Pub closed.............now a bakers,
Used to have the best juke box in Medway!
RIP
23 Jan 2012 12:40
Was in on 21/01/12, beer quality 100%. Hophead only lasted for two hours, but replaced with Blue Monkey PG sips......fantastic.
Three other ales also available.
Best pub in Gillingham by a long way!
23 Jan 2012 12:39
Decent Irving beers on, in a rather bland pub.
No hot veggie food available lets it down.
9 Jan 2012 16:37
Good boozer, handy for station.
Beer well kept, including four from Blue Bee brewwery.
20 Dec 2011 12:43
The Yorkshire Terrier Inn, York
Still one of my favourite York pubs. Had the best pint of Guzzler I have ever tasted on December 2nd.
7 Dec 2011 12:37
The Brewery Tap, Burton-Upon-Trent
Modern bar selling Worthington ales plus guests, Beer quality very good.
28 Nov 2011 10:28
The Burton Bridge Inn, Burton-Upon-Trent
Decent small two bar pub selling the full range of Burton Bridge ales, Well worth a visit.
28 Nov 2011 10:26
The Coopers Tavern, Burton-Upon-Trent
Small pub selling good quality ales and cider/perry
28 Nov 2011 10:24
Old Cottage Tavern, Burton on Trent
Old fashioned friendly boozer selling good quality Old cottage ales as well as guest beers,
28 Nov 2011 10:22
To many ales on for the amount of customers in during the day. Beer average which is a shame as the Guv is trying. Worth a visit.
25 Nov 2011 15:23
No idea what this place is like. SHUT at 12.45 on a Saturday afternoon. GBG needs to change the opening time for this place.
Fair play if the Guv can afford to let 12 thirsty people go elswhere.
11 Oct 2011 12:13
Good ale served in a friendly bar, best place for a decent ale in Morcambe.
10 Oct 2011 11:42
Had a great couple of pints of the red fox, as my original comment some time ago, can be inconsistent with quality of beer. I would say this is now the best pub in Sutton.
3 Oct 2011 12:20
Good quality ale served (3) but an uninspiring choice, as they are tied!
16 Sep 2011 12:22
Ok place, decent pint of Fugglededum. Seems friendly enough. basic no frills grub served.
16 Sep 2011 12:21
The Willoughby Arms, Kingston Upon Thames
More good news on this superb boozer.
Beer festival planned for the whole of October!!
5 Sep 2011 12:23
Good to see Summerskills beers on, rarely see them in London.
Decent enough pub, efficient bar staff.
19 Aug 2011 12:34
The Thistle Park Tavern, Plymouth
Disappointed with beer quality, coming up cloudy.
Bar staff friendly enough, will try again if in town.
19 Aug 2011 12:31
Good little boozer selling high quality ales, Bass and Betty Stoggs direct from the cask!
Friendly locals and Landlord.
19 Aug 2011 12:29
In on 9th August and as good as ever!
Dark Star Citra was outstanding.
Shutting for refurb on 14th for 1 week I beleive.
11 Aug 2011 12:29
The Willoughby Arms, Kingston Upon Thames
Was in for the first AFC Wimbledon game on Saturday.
Crouch Vale Brewers Gold superb, had to have a few more after the game.
This pub should be a lot more busy than this.
10/10
8 Aug 2011 12:15
King Harry's Bar (Glenbrook Hotel), Shanklin
Good pint of Island Yachtsman and a red squirrel spotted at the feeder in the garden.
3 Aug 2011 14:54
Good little boozer with Brodies ales. A little dark if you want to read a paper over your pint. Good efficient and friendly Barman behind bar. Worth escaping the hustle and bustle of Covent Garden. Good value food served also.
4 Jul 2011 12:27
Undoubtably a great pub, just mobbed on Saturday afternoon.
Good pint of Summer Solstice.
4 Jul 2011 12:24
The Lord Moon Of The Mall, Whitehall
Wonderful pint of Pride of York on 30/06/11.
Went to the loo, came back and it had gone!
If only they were this efficient in serving me.
1 Jul 2011 12:21
Beer quality now very good along with the food. Decent pub.
17 Jun 2011 15:54
Good Sheps pub with two guest beers, all of good quality. Beer fest August bank holiday may be worth a visit. Food good, but not much for vegetarians.
17 Jun 2011 15:51
Good range of well kept Thornbridge ales, as well as a wide range of foreign beers in bottles.
I could think of a lot worse places to wait for a train.
26 May 2011 14:42
Another good pub! Good ale selection, and pub quite big inside.
24 May 2011 12:29
Gus, you must have picked a bad day. Found pub friendly and welcoming. Beers constantly changing, all of great quality.
24 May 2011 12:24
Agree with last post. Well worth a visit. well kept ales and friendly staff.
9 May 2011 15:36
Beer fine, but uninspiring choice.
If you are going to eat allow three hours, painfully slow service.
3 May 2011 12:15
Good pub with their own ales!
All in good condition and tasty.
Hope to visit again.
26 Apr 2011 12:18
Paid a visit on Monday 25th April.
Not sure what has happened since my last visit!
All the beers bar one were cloudy and not in good condition.
Shame, as I really like this pub, hopeing this is a one off.
26 Apr 2011 12:16
The Live and Let Live, Cambridge
Goog back street local with a varied choice of ales, all well kept.
12 Apr 2011 12:12
Good pub, good beer, good guv.
Intresting choice of bar snacks.
12 Apr 2011 12:09
The King Charles I, Kings Cross
Don't bother going in on a Saturday, one beer, Theakstons!
Snotty but pretty barmaid!
12 Apr 2011 10:33
Trafalgar Freehouse, South Wimbledon
I have been asked by Hoppyal to clarify the fact he loves Ellie as a friend.
I hope this clears any misunderstanding.
12 Apr 2011 08:27
Heartofglass.
Not just football supporters, there was a few local idiots, non more so than the idiot wearing the vest!
Agree it was a shame as it spoilt a decent drink.
Good ale from local brewery, nothing the pub could have expected. I would expect in general a very decent boozer.

Trafalgar Freehouse, South Wimbledon
Also in on 3rd April for the third time is as many weeks. The beer has been excellent on all occassions, especially the Art Brew Lemon! Found the beer was becoming a little inconsistent, but seems to be back to its best. Good pub with friendly locals.
Hoppyal loves Ellie!!!!!!

The No 2 Refreshment Rooms (Under the Clock), Cleethorpes
dissapointed in this bar, after reading the write up in the GBG.
Beer uninspiring and lack of atmosphere

Willy's Pub and Brewery, Cleethorpes
Willys original good but on the cold side. Other guest beers not 100%.
Great idea early Friday with vouchers for beer, certainly got the crowds in.
Saturday night a bit to loud for me with the DJ.
It is the best pub in Cleethorpes! Says it all really.
7 Mar 2011 12:10
Good pub, best to go early as can get crowded.
8 pumps dispesing an ever changing range.
Had the Skinners tackle and Orkney Raven. Both in great condition.
24 Feb 2011 12:31
Atomic ales good, as was the quality and choice of the guest ales.
If ever in Rugby again, will pop in.
21 Feb 2011 16:03
Good little boozer. Local ale Petit Blonde very good. Worth a visit.
21 Feb 2011 16:02
Jinxed, I agree.
Not the pub it once was, food overpriced and avarage, beer not 100%.
It's not rocket science!!
16 Feb 2011 13:47
Rob,
Intimidating atmosphere? You sure you was in the right pub?
10 Feb 2011 12:15
Wonderful old boozer serving great Big Lamp ales. Jim the Landlord makes all welcome. Cheers Jim, hope to see you next season.
7 Feb 2011 12:21
Great choice of ales all looked after well. Good boozer which I would love as my local.
7 Feb 2011 12:20
Locale beer fest on from 27/01/11 to 30/01/11
Should be worth a visit
24 Jan 2011 13:04
Good pub, beer and service.
As below, the only thing is it gets busy.
This is only an observation, this proves they are doing what they do well.
23 Dec 2010 11:18
Constantly good pub/bar.
Beer always good, friendly staff and a little gem of a garden when the weather permits.
21 Dec 2010 14:36
Excellent pint of Marble. Only downside is the walk up the stairs to the loos.

The Lion And Lobster, Brighton
Lovely pint of Hophead in a well run and busy pub.
Highly reccommended

Well done Rick on a great beer festival.
Beer excellent!!!!
Roll on the next one.

Shame to see this pub is for sale.
Was in Saturday, beer choice and quality perfect.
Spoke to the Landlady and understand the reasons behind the sale, hope she can find someone that keeps the pub as good as it is now.
NO SINGING ;-)

The Willoughby Arms, Kingston Upon Thames
Was in here last night (29/09/10) Twickenham Grandstand and naked ladies plus Shere drop and Greene King IPA.
Beer fantastic quality as usual, why is this pub not used more?
Beer festival arranged for Halloween, put it in your diary.
30 Sep 2010 12:27
Excellent boozer, friendly guv behind bar.
Beers top notch (all 14 of them)
Handled a group of us on Saturday afternoon brilliantly with no warning.
Next time in Kettering this is the only pub to visit.
7 Sep 2010 12:22
What a great pub!
Marble beers up to their usual high standards.
Guest beers fantastic, staff helpful.
Great surroundings, no your not drunk, the floor does slope.
Everything you need in a pub.
Perfect.
18 Aug 2010 12:12
Popped in on Saturday 7th August, and was greeted by Oakleaf IPA, Wold Top bitter and one other which I cannot remember. Quality of ale superb as usual!
Easily best pub in Gillingham, why is it not packed every day?
9 Aug 2010 12:30
I like the pub, and the staff have always been decent.
It's just the beer quality, that at times, lets them down.
8 Jul 2010 12:26
Agree with Hoppyal regarding people refusing to move from the bar, which can make it difficult to get served.
Always seems to be a weird smell in the pub (carpets or coming from the cellar, where there has been an issue with water coming in)
I have also been moved from the table I was sitting on due to a private function, which is an inconvenience if there is nowhere else to sit.
Beer quality usually good, a great improvemnet to what the pub was before the friendly landlady took over.

Royal Oak Inn, Staffhurst Wood
Larkins and food of a good quality.
Pub itself OK, with nice garden!
6 Jul 2010 12:51
Excellent old fashioned pub, wonderful landlord.
Great Big Lamp beers.
Reccommended highly.
18 Jun 2010 16:04
One of the best pubs around this area of Kent.
Beer always 1oo%, and a regular outlet for Larkins.
I hope the owner has a rethink, as Bob has done a excellent job after taking over from Joy.
A sad day indeed if Bob leaves!!
18 Jun 2010 12:44
Best pub in Margate, beer always well kept (Sheps) friendly landlord.
15 Jun 2010 12:23
Pleasent enough bar.
A little dissapointed with the White Rose ale from Yorkshire Dales, it was much to early to be put on.
Women behind bar refused to change it, although it had the consistiancy of tar.
The other Yorkshire Dales beer was 100%

The Temple Hotel, Matlock Bath
Good pub with good quality ale.
friendly staff who seemed to know their stuff.
The pump clips around the place shows the great ales that pass through.
Reccommended
9 Jun 2010 13:42
Much improved local. Beer quality very good, but why the hour wait between beers?
26 May 2010 09:27
The Land of Liberty, Peace and Plenty, Heronsgate
Not the greatest pub by a long way. But the beer quality is always 100%

The Jolly Tanners, Staplefield
Good beer and food,
Shame about the locals "I live in this village, what r u doing in my pub attitude".

The Willoughby Arms, Kingston Upon Thames
Been using this pub on most Saturday's for about three years. Not once have I had a bad pint, which makes this the most consistant pub for quality beer.
Saturday's crowd are welcoming as is the charasmatic Landlord.
This pub comes highly reccomended.
23 Dec 2008 12:54
Beer good Saturday 13th, and pub busy, so why oh why the rubbish music?
