My definite 9 are these :-
1. The Spaniards, London
4. The Nutshell, Bury St Edmunds Suffolk
8. The Jerusalem Tavern, London
12. Bridge Inn, Topsham, Devon
14. Haunch of Venison, Wilts
16. Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, Nottingham
20. Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, London
21. Crown Posada, Newcastle
24. The Dove, London
I still can't believe there is nothing else of merit in Scotland. The Clachaig Inn is a climbers/walkers pub and was all keg when I was there but they did have some great Scotch and bottles of Fowler's Wee Heavy.
Why don't we produce our own lists?
I don't think any of those would make it onto mine.
