The Whitefriars Olde Ale House, Coventry

Quite simply the best pub in Coventry. And i should know - I've visited a few!

The very best selection of real ales is supported by regular musical soirees, and a decor which feels like it's been carved out of the original Coventry Wall.

This is the best - accept no substitutes!

The Canbury Arms, Kingston Upon Thames

Just couldn't stand by and watch this pub get slated. I visit this place whenever I get the chance because it has the perfect ambiance for a bloke who loves good beer, good music, a game of pool and cricket on the big screen.

I rate this place the best pub in Kingston - and I've been to a few, so I should know. The bar staff are great, they sell cigarette papers, tobacco, and pickled eggs behind the bar, the clientelle are friendly and welcoming, and the beer - and let's face it, that's what we go to pubs for - is second to none.

True, the place has had its misfortunes of late, but it's well on the way to recovery now, with more ales on than at any time in the past 2 years, and refurbishment plans which are well underway.

Long live the Canbury Arms, and all who sail in her!
