O'Neills, High Wycombe

Was The Angel, then the Firkin and now O'Neills. Did a lot of growing (throwing?) up in this pub when it was The Firkin - I like to think that was the heyday when there were proper tables and somewhere to sit. Nowadays there is a sparce selection of barrels on which to balance your drink somehow and a lot of floor space to really pack those students in....not what it used to be but maybe I'm just getting older. The annual visit for Xmas Eve is always fun though....

Yates's, High Wycombe

Just WHAT sort of pub demands the wearing of shoes to get in? Full of men wearing shirts longer than their girlfriends' skirts. The only time I went in I met Ant and Dec at the bar, however, which was odd to say the least.

Hogshead, High Wycombe

Bright lighting. A view of Bridge Street car park. An upstairs that's never open and the worst colour scheme ever deliberately chosen. Not a good venue.

George and Dragon, West Wycombe

Used to work at this pub as a barman so I'm biased BUT great food, great ales and a good crowd of locals - always pop in for a pint or 10 when I'm back in Bucks!

Latelys, West Hampstead

A message to Lyncroft: Have you been downstairs? If not I suggest you do to get a different perspective.

Anonymous: Yes, indeed shocking.

The Sir Richard Steele, Belsize Park

A great pub. Unless you end up drinking at close proximity to the toilets which, quite frankly, stink.

The Pembroke Castle, Primrose Hill

My strongest memory is of a man with black and crusty lips telling me to 'be happy' shortly before collapsing, face first, into 2 glasses of white wine. He was bundled into an ambulance some minutes later.
