The Kings Head (Low House), Laxfield

Went here because we saw that it had won a national award. It is like stepping back into the 16th Century. No bar, just a tap room, which sold about half a dozen fine ales. I had the Wolfes, which was very nice. We had a contretemps with one of the staff because we were eating our sandwiches outside, fair enough I suppose, but we would have stayed longer had she turned a blind eye.

The Lamb and Flag, Covent Garden

Went here with some mates as part of a crawl. They have a nice selection of beers, such as Fullers ESB and Seafarer. A traditional boozer. Prices are what you would expect in the West End, about £5 a pint. I had the Seafarer, which was well kept. We stood outside and experienced the sweet fragrance of the drains.

The Nell Gwynne, Covent Garden

Popped in here on a warm summer evening as part of a crawl. The only place where you could get a pint for under a fiver. A busy, traditional pub. My pint of Adnams, although drinkable, was 'on the turn', not unusual in this warm weather. Other people's beer was okay. As the pub was crowded, we had to drink our beer in the piss covered, litter strewn alley outside. Not a favourite on mine.
