The Cholmondeley Arms, Malpas

First visit here today. Pub has been converted from an old schoolhouse, ad retains a school theme, e.g. Toilets are boys and girls, notices written on old blackboards etc. Food was excellent. Large selection of gins stocked, various sampling sessions available. You could just visit here for a drink as thee is suitable seating available, but it would not be a pub for fertile drinking next to the bar.Large modern fire arrangement splits the main room into two. Friendly helpful staff.

The Willeymoor Lock Tavern, Tushingham

First visit here today. Pub is decorated with a large collection of novelty teapots and Toby jugs. Not really sure what to make of this place. Beer quality of the two I sampled was not as good as it could have been. Friendly staff, food looked good and generous portions.

Blue Bell Inn, Tushingham

First visit here today. Offbeat wild blackberry mild sampled and found to be in superb condition. Extremely friendly landlord and dogs. Holding a classic car show in July. Well worth quick detour from the A41.
