Fair play to them. Feel sorry for the Beacon though, another year and another fall close to the line...

A fitting reward for all the hard work that has gone into The Harp over many years.Well done.

As Quinno says,the other finalists are fine pubs and must be disappointed,there is always next year.

A consistently good pub - the only major fault is that it's always so damned busy! Best of luck to them - they've all worked hard for many years to achieve this accolade.

Yep, well deserved - I agree that it's always packed, but the staff are excellent at seeing through the crowds for prompt service.

Just the Harp and (recently) the Beacon, for me.
Anyone ticked all 4 finalists?

We have been to the Taps at Lytham. Really enjoyed working our way along his beers last year when we called while doing the Fleetwood fest. Missed out on going this year though. Also done Sedgeley Beacon, but didn't make the Harp when we were in the area a couple of years ago. So only 2 for me.

Two for me as well Harp & Taps.

Both always rammed whenever I've been in though, which usually means having just the one as it's so uncomfortable.

Perhaps they don't like us because we list them as the Harp in Strand rather than Covent Garden ;)

I have also been in the Beacon and the Harp.

I went in the Beacon in 2008 and it was packed when i went in on a saturday afternoon at about 2.45 then they called last orders i could'nt believe this chucking people out of a pub when its full.

Watch your step Dave - Conrad tells me off for making comments like that about the 'locations' of London pubs!

Dave has the privilege (if it can be called that) of testing the new code, so he knows a pub can be in Covent Garden now.

Sadly he can't look at Covent Garden to see what pubs are there yet, but it is a start at least.

Just The Harp for me. Don't suppose you'll even get through the door, for the next few weeks.
