The Green Man, Scamblesby

Recently reopened and refurbished and under spiffing new management, this is definitely worth a drop in for those visiting the Wolds or nearby Cadwell Park motorracing circuit. Black Sheep & ambience on tap.

Dr Inks, Southwark

Now called Fountain & Ink (thankfully). Decent selection of beers from the unlikelier end of the market at prices about right for the area; worth popping in for one before the suits turn at 5.

The Whittington Stone, Highgate

Exterior appearance of this concrete boozer and first impressions once inside (loud, hot, busy) should not deter the determined drinker from visiting. On this particular afternoon, the staff do their very best to remain friendly and efficient while dealing with the thirsty hordes enjoying the twin pleasures of a sunny day and the opening weekend of the Premiership season. Take time to get used to the volume levels of the other punters and resign yourself to the fact that the food could take a while to get to your table (though it's perfectly fine when it does arrive). Definitely more Archway than Highgate and definitely worth a look.
