I doubt it's much of a scandal. I suspect this type of behaviour is fairly commonplace.

Yes. I wouldn't describe it quite so politely. Sampled at the Wenlock, it tasted of grapefruit to me which I can't abide. I'm sure some people will love it, particularly in this weather though I...

Hackney and Islington...again:

Adnams - Ghost Ship **
Bristol Beer Factory - Fortitude **½
ELB - Nightwatchman :(
Five Points - Best **½
Five Points - Pale **
Northern Monk - Eternal **...

Yes. And the number of pubs with the word 'Hotel' as a suffix is down but not out. Not that long ago whilst drinking in the Roebuck (NW3), a tourist walked in and asked if there were rooms available,...

A very poor month with too much time wasted exploring Oxford's outer pubs:

The Berkshire
The Britannia
The Cricketers Arms
Donnington Arms
Duke of Monmouth
The Fishes
The Maidenhead
The Old...

All looks nice and varied.:)

The Albion - RIP.

I never try to read my reviews on my phone as it's too tricky, otherwise I wouldn't have gone. It's actually worse now in that virtually all tables were laid for dining; I only went as I was aiming...

The Princess of Shoreditch - last night £6.30 for a pint of Mad Goose; not even Hogwart's in Preston dares charge this much!

The Cuckoo - now called The Tamil Prince (see photo). Could you oppress the other images to the back page?

London and Oxford:

Adnams - Ghost Ship **
Bermondsey - Best **½
Brewhouse - Tramshed **
Dark Star - Hophead **
Five Points - Best **½
Five Points - Pale **½
Hammerton's - N1 **½
Northern...

166 including exploring Oxford's suburbs, which I'm rather regretting.:(

Glamorous - could you oppress the pre-May photos if not already done so?

Ta.

There's a theme here, this being the most disgusting beer I've drunk. Obviously mango's a no-no.

Another week exiled in Oxford, sentenced to some halves of Guinness or l***r, drunk by way of exploring the city's outer pubs for the first and - usually - the last time. Otherwise:

Adnams - Ghost...

All the way out to The Lord Napier & Star!



If it it's going to be perfection, The Pembury Tavern is the place to go, otherwise it would be in trouble.

Largely in Oxford with a limited pub selection, but generally consistent quality:

Adnams - Ghost Ship **½
Dark Star - Hophead **½
Dark Star - Pale Ale **½
Double Barrelled - Parka **
Five...

Four for me:

Black Horse Hotel (thanks to Preston)

The Harrow Inn (wonderful pub, but I'm not the only one to have encountered the landlady)

The Prince Alfred (a 20-minute walk and a pub...

Been away from the Forum for a while, exiled in Oxford hence the belated congratulations! :cheers:

Certainly, but it wasn't this.

Still stuck mainly in Oxford, so a bit Groundhog Day, but all cask:

Abbeydale - Salvation **
Adnams - Eastern Edge **
Adnams - Ghost Ship **½
Crouch Vale - Anchor Street Porter *½
Dark Star...

Agree. But I had a Fuller's jubilee-themed beer at The Bear a couple of days ago (no Dark Star options on) and it was actually a Fuller's beer where I'd have ordered a second pint. I've had the...

A poor month, with just two pubs reviewed with a score of '6' or over. The runner-up goes to:

The Ship

The clear winner goes to:

The Grapes

Yup. Headlines sell.

Café Rouge - reopened as a wine bar called Wilding.
