The Woodlands in Silverdale. Not often I find a pub I consider completely unique but this was one.
Two disappointing mini-crawls of Bethnal Green and then Oxford over the long weekend. All new pubs to me and most for the last time too. Nothing great, but a couple were enjoyable and a couple will appeal to the craft keg brigade:
Bethnal Green Tavern
The Kings Arms
Marquis of Cornwallis
The Old George - Pub of the Month.
The Salmon & Ball
The Shakespeare
The Star of Bethnal Green
The Sun Tavern
Well & Bucket
Big Society
BrewDog Oxford
City Arms
The Cowley Retreat
Dew Drop Inn
The Library
The Magdalen Arms
The Plough at 38
Several to choose from on my successful trip to watch Salford in Hull. The city has improved massively in the twenty or so years I've been visiting. Hop and Vine is narrowly beaten by Furley and Co which had ale and craft aplenty, alongside good music and upbeat staff. A nice area of seating between a pedestrian area and the rejuvenated quays.
The superb Hand & Heart in Peterborough.
The Cornubia, One of a number of great pubs in Bristol enjoyed over the last couple of days.
Surrey Oaks An old favourite, but worth recognising as one of the few proper pubs in Surrey,with an eclectic beer range,including that new fangled keg...
A fine and proper pub.Quote:

Since I can't yet do something from Jersey, I'll go for The Blue Boar Inn at Mancetter (Atherstone) which I have wanted to visit ever since I first saw a picture of this unusual-looking pub.
August was pretty quiet for pub-going, but I did manage to pick up a couple of new ones on a recent crawl round Halifax. Kobenhavn nearly took the honours, but I'm opting for The Grayston Unity a great little micro, where the beer is spot on and I always seem to have a good time.
With the Old Harkers Arms already taken, POTM goes to The Great Western. Excellent despite running out of Bathams post two home matches.
"They were drinking it like no more was going to be made".
A good few contenders after a great trip around Newcastle, which just gets better and better - great variety of beer and pubs
POTM - Mean-Eyed Cat
Other good contenders:
Gunner Tavern
The Schooner
Beeronomy
Orb
I'm getting to very few new pubs nowadays so here's an old favourite the Derby Alex Of course you wouldn't go here and not include the Brunswick nearby but I find this one often has more interesting guests.
