The Hare and Billet, Blackheath

Felt compelled to write - it's rare to think your idea of the perfect pub appears in your home town. Excellent (yes quite pricey - you get what you pay for) food of restaurant quality and a vast array of beers. 8 pumps, 12 further taps of beer tht changes very regularly. I'm gobsmacked. Talk is that the beer prices are higher than the rest of Blackheath pub I couldn't give a damn if there's the choice here on show. A welcome and amazing addition to the village post-refurb: and it was the best pub before then, it's just infinitely better now.

The Mail Coach, Bishopsgate

Seemingly now shut. On the last visit just before its closure it was a disaster zone. Dart boards in disrepair, only Stella and Kronenbourg on tap and the ever-changing eastern European barmaids was still in evidence. Christmas Tree in the door tilted at 20 degrees in a permanent sighing position. Who knows what'll open in its place but the lack of ambient light will never help...cheerio Mail Coach, it was fun for a bit when you actually looked vaguely untatty.

The Swan Inn and Lodge, Claygate

Popped in here having made an offer on a house nearby and thought I'd tempt fate by trying my potential new "local". Clean, well-kept with friendly young bar-staff and a decent pint of XX Mild that I'd never seen before. If circumstances allow (see first sentence), I hope to return regularly.
