The Red Lion, Shirley

Clearly tippler123 has been supping too much eurofizz at the sarrers. Where did the idea of lager drinkers being poor come from? Not from my words certainly. Went in the sarrers yesterday and sadly found it doesn't actually sell beer - it has Guinness, that dreadful smoothflow and loads of cold frothy tasteless lagers, which clearly are its main selling point. I live on planet earth does tippler live on planet "chip on shoulder"?

The Centurion Inn, Walton

We've just come back from a short break in Cumbria and used this pub each evening for food and drink. The place itself is unremarkable apart from the beautiful fireplace and fire. We found the staff friendly and the food of a good standard. There was a shortage of meat dishes ie no steak but that was fine for us as we don't go for a lot of meat. Prices are on the high side but you are really out in the sticks so I suppose you can expect that. The beer garden overlooks the field and fells of Cumbria and the beer itself is excellent - Timothy Taylor, Jennings and a new local microbrewery too.
All in all a great place to go.

Tried this pub after a walk in the country. Its really very nice. The beer is good and the staff very friendly. The food we had wasn't exceptional and one of our party had cause for complaint but the complaint was dealt with by a replacement meal and a refund and with good grace- not something you always encounter in the catering trade. Would like to try it in the evening. The grade is for the pub- not the food
