The Red Lion, Isleworth

The wonderful institution is under "new" management - the same chap who owned it about ten years ago. The place is undergoing a major overhaul so the smell of paint is overpowering. The beers are still first class and there are so many to choose from. The garden which was excellent is now beautiful. This is one to watch and the best time will be the next beer festival. The festival is over the August Bank Holiday and hosts some great local bands. This beautiful old boozer needs more customers. If you try it you will be very pleased with yourself that you did.

The Boot, Weymouth

Sadly only one visit but it was obviously a well run pub with five hand pumped beers. All were in good condition and two were worth a second helping. The Boot was packed, the service was excellent and it was as clean as any pub can be. The only problem with the Boot is - it is 125 miles from my home! Forget the quibbling in a few of the reviews - this is a fine place!
