Trafalgar Tavern, Greenwich

God I love this pub. I've eaten in the restaurant several times, the food is very good and tasty. Had a lovely bit of Halibut in there recently. Always get served no problem and am always really happy to just sit in the bar whiling away a few hours staring out of the window having a drink. Could do with some lower strength draft lager for us common lager drinkers.

We love the pub so much we held our wedding reception there. The best wedding venue i could have hoped for. All our guests were amazed by the setting and we could not fault the staff for the service we received. A lovely pub and venue.

The Rose and Crown, Trent

I visited a friend who lives in Sherborne recently and she brought me to this gorgeous pub. Living in depths of South London we don't have many of these kind of pubs near us and I thought it absolutely charming. My friend had dinner there for her birthday a few weeks before so wanted me to come and try out her new favourite eating place.

To start I had the scallops and they were melt in your mouth and for my main course I had the pork. It was all really tasty, especially the crackling! I noticed from the sign in the bar you can even buy a jar of the crackling as a bar snack.

After dinner we sat in the lounge on the comfy sofas with the fire on. I noticed that unlike some "foodie" pubs - the bar area is still kept separate to the dining, so if you just want to come in for a drink or ten and not eat you wont feel like you are just standing around watching everyone chomp away.

I felt this is as good as it gets for a local pub and would be delighted if I had this on my doorstep... I am now envious I don't live closer.
