Barge and Bottle, Sleaford

Busy and mostly lager drinkers which I think goes a long way to explaining previous comments. My other half said his pint of ale was awful. Food ok in a mass catering sort of way. Not expensive though and location is pleasant.

The Surprise, Stockwell

Change of management again this spring and they are now taking plastic again, which may or may not be a good thing for my budget. And the beer has really improved. I actually have the odd pint of Youngs Ordinary now, instead if sticking to boring but safe lager all the time. It's still my local, still bloody expensive for the location.

But even in this grotty so-called summer, the location by the park is good and it's mostly friendly. There are a few rather eccentric new 'regulars though and I for one will be happy never to hear Don McLean ever again off that jukebox.

Photo om this site is very out of date.

The Barley Mow, Southsea

Wish this was my local. Cosy yet spacious, lots of stuff on the walls to look at, comfy seats, very friendly bar staff and locals and excellent range of beers.

Separate games room and garden too, but what really impressed me was that you could buy eggs!
