The Plough, Coldharbour

A bit of a rainy day out and the mrs., the dog, and I stopped in for a pint. Checked with the landlady if okay to bring fido inside and, although not pleasant, she was accommodating and in we went. A super friendly barman struck up polite conversation as we took a seat in the back bar. Whilst we were there a few mountain bikers coming in from the rain asked if there was a place 'round back for them to sit and the landlady pointed them to the back bar, asking only that they wipe off the chairs when they left. The pints were not special, but the pub was okay for a swift one.

Stephan Langton Inn, Abinger Common

A little tricky to find on an overcast Saturday afternoon, but well worth it. The open fire in the bar was a magnet for the mrs. and myself and the pints of Hogsback TEA were tip top. The food was quite nice as well. Between the two of us we had the rosotto and guilt head bream and would recommend both. Welcoming barman and friendly patrons, too. A really great pub tucked away in the hills and I am glad we made the trip.
