Give the old grey matter a workout in these top pubs for a quiz.
Without wishing to damn with faint praise, this was OK. The Porter was reasonable - first time I've tried Young's and it may well be the last. Staff were reasonably friendly and sport is a big part of this pubs' offering.
Some pretty odd carpeting - slightly 70@s feel makes for an odd mix of...
A while ago now, this handsome pub was given the refurbishment it deserved and was brought up to 21st century standards with a bit of style and the right sort of attention to detail. On the hand pumps we have well-kept beers, and on tap a decent range of beers and lagers including including...
As long as we've known it - and it's been a long time - Richard I has been a great pub. It's everything a good local should be. As you'd expect, it does excellent Young's beer, the service is polite, friendly and prompt and the food comes recommended. As it is a popular place, seats inside can...
A listed building it may be, but we doubt we'll ever see it as a pub again. After a long period of closure, it's finally reopened as a French restaurant called Angelus.
A very fine old fashioned corner pub, inside a little smaller than it looks from the outside, but with a stunning Victorian interior - all etched mirrors, intricate tile work and two fires (the recently repainted exterior manages to even add to the grandeur). Thankfully the fare matches the...
Not having been to this one for a while, we found it's turned out well after a recentish refurb - equipped with pleasant and friendly staff and relaxed locals of all sorts. It's managed to pull off the feel of a traditional pub but is modern at the same time. Our complaints about lack of beer...
As far as recently refurbished Young's pubs go, this is one is of the best we've visited; as far as high street pubs are concerned, the Hammersmith Ram - dare we say - is "baa"rvellous! Hammersmith station surroundings are filled with pubs of varying quality and the Ram is certainly one of the...
Just what you want when wandering the wastelands where Brixton and Clapham merge. Sadly, the much-needed refurb has taken place with the result that the knicknacks have gone, replaced by a more gastro-green interior. It's still got the theatre upstairs with regular comedy nights, there's still a...
This pub is a real find within spitting distance of Paddington station, The Cleveland Arms is a proper pub, eclectically decorated, nestling within an area full of large white Georgian townhouses. It is not particularly big, but people are often more than happy to make room - particularly on the...
Just as the Wenlock Arms is the real ale mecca in north London here's its equivalent south of the river. Going by the beer mats plastered round the pub they've had more ales guesting here than you'll probably taste in your...
The Old Eagle is an excellent pub that has by and large resisted any major refurbishments or other unnecessary trappings. Instead it's a genuine, friendly local boozer, with a good mixed crowd and friendly service. Stripped floorboards jostle with fiddles and other bits 'n' pieces attached to the...
This really is a very fine boozer. The warm and friendly welcome that it offers is probably best appreciated on a chilly winter evening, but can be recommended all year round. There are two rooms, each of which has a calm and relaxed ambience. The smart front bar facing onto the street has a...
It's been a while since we've been out to this one and we're delighted that it's remained a great boozer. Located round the back of Streatham Go-Karting track, on the corner in a grid of Victorian terrace houses, this place oozes an updated but genuine charm that other revamped gastro pubs can...
The Cricketers has an ideal location as the first pub on the Addiscombe Road leading out of central Croydon. There's a pleasant enough patio area at its front, perfect for sitting out to watch the trams and the walking commuters pass you by. Inside, however, the first impression is one of...
No music, no TV and a selection of eight real ales and ciders. No, this isn't another Wetherspoon, but instead a pub that's arguably up there as one of the beat in the South East. This is not only real ale heaven but a jolly fine pub too. Two bars, warped wooden beams, red velvet curtains and a...
If you're not a fully paid-up CAMRA member or a local beer enthusiast, chances are you won't have heard of the Kelham Island Tavern, which is a pity as it's one of the top beer pubs in the country. With it's dazzling array of ever-changing, well-kept beers, ales porters and ciders on the hand...
The Royal Oak was closed when we first visited, shutting for the afternoon like many pubs out here in the sticks. However, after a nose through the window we decided we'd come back when the doors were open and aren't we glad we did. This pub is incredible. From the hanging baskets out front to...
Unless it forms part of your route home there are relatively few reasons to traverse Harold Street, but the Volunteer must provide the best excuse. Catering for a mainly local crowd, it is a simple affair but always seems a pleasant spot for a pint. The door opens straight into the main bar,...
An old Watney's pub with a curious name, Streeties is a locals' place in the strongest sense of that word. Its bare, ramshackle interior makes no false promises. Hardboard sections nailed to the floor wait for someone who's forgotten (or can't be bothered) to put a carpet down. A P.A. system and...
A definite 5 from the BAPS crowd. great range of ales and the prospect of the couple settling kept us interested till later than planned.super atmosphere must recommend.
LATEST NEWS: The story of the Wenlockâs future is a strange rollercoaster ride, with Hackney Council actually emerging as the heroes (for the moment, at least). Having been under threat of demolition for a long time now, at the end of 2011, the planning application was miraculously...
Awarded CAMRA Best Regional Pub for 2011. Twinned with a gasthaus in Dinslaken, Germany, another award-winning real ale pub we'll have to put on our list.
A really great pub this and although it may not be to everyone's taste since it is at heart a community local it is without doubt what pubs should be about.
Beer was good with 3 Taps on - well kept and nicely dispensed.
The beer, food, welcome and service is excellent and if there were a six...
A difficult pub to find but so worth the effort.
When we've looked for what we would term our "ideal pub" you want good service, good beer and good atmosphere - the Blue Bell exceeds on every level.
Service was above and beyond (re-opened the kitchen for us), beer was a good selection and...
