The London Apprentice, Old Isleworth

Gents toilets an absolute disgrace last Saturday. Floor covered in mixture of urine and leaking water. My wife could smell it from outside.
Food OK, but not great.

The Blue Anchor, Helston

Have been visiting this pub most years for the past 30-odd. Mercifully it has retained most of its old charm, and the brewed-on the-premises ale called Spingo is excellent, IMHO. Despite being re-decorated it manages to retain a pleasing run-down demeanour, and the only criticism I would bring to bear is that you can't get a decent Cornish Pasty there any more (but that seems to be general in Kurnow these days). It now has a fairly large garden,having extended itself next door, but the interior is very special. The number of eccentrics there seem to have dwindled - mostly passed on I expect!

The Bush Inn, Monmouth

This pub is now called "The Inn at Penallt", and is under new management. It has been refurbished, but maintains it's previous layout. Good bar food and separate restaurant.
