I was more concerned about the names that the father figure gave to his daughters namely Coco, India and Montana.
I can just about live with the Country and American State names but a circus clown??
I gather the father was the man who founded Geronimo Inns. Given that connection and the Young's one I wonder if there will be a beer at under four quid a pint, or even five quid.
Going back to your original point I'm not a fan of it as a town at all but there are a few decent pubs there.

I think they should firstly concentrate on improving the current quality. Harveys would be ashamed of the condition their beer has been presented here in most recent visits (last several occasions, albeit not that recently - 18months?). To have this institution designated as 'off-map' by this correspondent, a decision agreed with by fellow travellers, shows just how far the standards had fallen - simply lazy management imo.
And my last pint here, perhaps the tipping point, was pulled via the awful method of 'lazypull' - glass plonked in the drip tray and the beer pulled one-handed from on-high. It shows the bar-person doesn't give a stuff about their job, or your pint, and is Wrong, wrong wrong!
Ignore me - suffered a bit of a time slip there.
And the award for the worst planned pub crawl of the year goes to Ian Mapp ;)
