Plough & Fleece ,if only because it was the first new pub visited since October 2020.
Express Tavern
Ticked all the boxes for me.
A busy month, with 37 new pubs and revisits to 14. I reckoned the best to be those below, ranked '8' or over:
New:
The Brownswood
Green Goose
The Star Tavern
Revisits:
The Nags Head
The Queens
Shakespeare
Southampton Arms
Tapping the Admiral
Daft name withstanding, POTM goes to the Green Goose. It was a bit of a dump when I photographed it and this is backed up by the previous review. It's now a really good backstreet boozer with a decent pint and worthy of inclusion in an E3 crawl.
Probably my most difficult POTM choice to date, despite several fantastic first time visit pubs in Sheffield including The Fat Cat, Shakespeares and The Kelham Island Tavern all classics and would normally be shoe-ins but for POTM I have to go with The Coopers Tavern, good beer although I had better (to my taste) in Sheffield, but as a pub alone there can't be too many to match this unspoilt gem.
I think for only the second time, my nomination is for a pub without any real ale served: The Magpie Inn, Botcherby on the eastern outskirts of Carlisle.
