Dirty big pub only useful if you're desperate to catch a game on Sky Sports

The Boot, Weymouth

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this pub on 14th September. It's a proper old fashioned inn. Packed full of character and serving excellent ales and proper pub snacks such as pork pie and pickles for sharing. The poor barmaid was a bit rushed and needed some help but guess this is the sign of a popular pub. Landlord was friendly and so were the locals. The only problem you might have is finding a seat!

The Hope, Wandsworth Common

Had been to this pub a couple of times for a drink in the past year and because the menu looked interesting we decided to go back today for lunch. Wish we hadn�t bothered what a disappointment! Sausage and mash in a pub seems to be one of those dishes which is either done extremely well or really badly with no in between. Unfortunately the Hope does it really badly (sausages baked in the oven for what must have been several hours as they were rock hard and congealed mash like wall paper paste) along with bad service and filthy wine glasses. It may be Valentine�s day but the pub was dead so no excuses! Won�t be eating in there again.
