i wouldn't disagree with any of those (other than walking distance!) and the remainder are mainly GK, a couple of Fullers and restaurant chains. Has anyone been to the Westgate recently? Gone a bit...

Well that was a rather better month - 51 reviews and 98 new photos. I doubt May will beat that but will have a go.

A thoroughly good day. I missed out the northern end to get the train home but I think I will have to go back to Preston somewhen!

Here's a couple of pics from Winckley St. Did anyone get the...

Not unless you are going off piste. If you were thinking of the bus to the Continental (119), that is now a private operator and not covered anyway.

Ah, give my regards to the Soaks!

My favourite this week from not too far away from there: Firebird Heritage - a good, solid, traditional best bitter.

Interesting as to where the boundary lies between influencing choice by having an extensive presence and being so ubiquitous as to be completely boring. And balancing the need to have what everyone...

Quite agree, but would still be surprised if more than a tiny proportion of viewers were interested in those three. Unless bots count.

The Cranley Hotel is now The Cranley on the Common.

If Elaine Crees was not connected with the management of Suter's Yard in 2010, I shall be very surprised - "remember to book" indeed! Mind you, a little research on the site might have indicated that...

I have every intention of being there, with just one hostage to fortune which might yet prevent me. Should be 11.38 arrival otherwise.

The published .co.uk link for the Highdown Inn goes to something nasty that asks you to click 'Allow' (Don't do it!)

The correct link is https://highdowninn.com/

The Clarendon Cocktail Cellar has been renamed Artist Residence. No, I have no idea why either but there seems to be a small chain of them, including the former Cornish Barn in Penzance. Please...

One of my rare encounters deserving of a BOTW - Downlands 1984 Stout. I hadn't heard of them before but will try and seek them out if this is anything to go by.

The Station House is now Harper's Steakhouse

Yes, I think that was what was meant.

Still a fairly miserable year so far with just 37 in total, due to a combination of circumstances and a spot of Covid. Hopefully things will get improve here on in.

It is alleged that the new menus have abolished the "Two for" offers. Not sure if this applies everywhere?

I am also missing Skehans, which was a Watney pub in the days when I frequented the area, and the Jamaica Wine House.

The Burgess Hill Inn has reverted to a previous name of The Top House. One day they will make their mind up!

There appears to have been a Callum Jordan review, but all his reviews seem to have been deleted.

That looks far too small for a new Spoons, however it would be a useful extension to the rather imposing former Assembly Room next door which has been vacant for some time...

You're out of luck there - gone!

Allegedly it is earmarked for a cocktail bar.

Those who are coming by train and stopping over (and not yet qualified for a twerly bus pass) might be interested in Plusbus - covers local bus services for just £3.80, or less for railcard holders....

An interesting collection around Birmingham, although in some of the areas there is not much competition!:...
