The Bree Louise, Euston

I like it in here, good for a pre- train beer, and if you travel Virgin regularly, you'll need one. OK so its not plush and it is small, but that means those who worry about such things don't drink there, which is fine by me. Sometimes you just need great beer and pies-what else matters?

Fighting Cocks, Oakengates

Very good pub serving Ironbridge Brewery and Everards beers. Nicely fitted out inside, several different rooms with different seating give an interesting character. Go have a look, you'll like it.

The White Horse Inn, Overton-on-Dee

Fine old building built built by brewer Soames in 1898, as a Victorian coaching inn but also with a bar for the village workers who served the nearby estate. The various rooms from the original design have now been reinstated and restored. Now owned and run by Joules Brewery who saved it from the clutches of some pubco or other.

Lots of interesting rooms and period features, won a Camra national pub design award in 2008.
Joules beers are a firm favourite of mine, taking me back to the great days of the regional family brewers before many traditional breweries were eaten alive by their barrrstard pubco offspring.
