That looks like a great itinerary - I'll chuck The Shovel Inn into the mix as well.
There's free shipping on Blue Monkey beers ordered from their website this week, should anyone need one last restock before the pubs reopen.

Very sad to hear this news - an excellent contributor to this site, particularly his extensive knowledge and reviews of all things Wetherspoon. I'll try to make the memorial crawl too.
Just the Glasgow one for me, although it was dark and snowing when I visited, so enjoying the riverside terrace was pretty low on my list of priorities!
The brewery exists, but Landon is definitely a made-up place name! :p
These guidelines were issued by the charity 'Drinkaware' and have been picked up by a number of media outlets who have dropped them into their stories without giving much in the way of context.

Out of interest, what are the other three...?
Breweries seem to be allowed to operate click-and-collect takeaway services, so perhaps this pub convinced Ealing Council that they should also be allowed to do so, as I believe they have their own...
Looks like the user has deactivated their account after leaving the review.
A friend of mine moved to Walkley earlier this year, not too far from the Blake Hotel, so I'm hoping I'll get a chance to visit him and check the pub out later this year.
I had six pubs that scored a 9 this year, which seems pretty good in such a lean year for pub-going. I'm a bit surprised to find that five of the six are micropubs - not really my favourite type of...
My worst pub this year has to be The Watersplash in St Ouen's Bay, Jersey - a beach-side pub/creche hybrid with excellent views of the sea wall, but not of the sea!
I finished on 106 this year which is a disappointing total compared to last year's 191, but pretty good going considering I was only on 34 when all the pubs shut in March.
Merry Christmas all - hope your festivities (i.e. beer consumption) are in full swing by now!
I didn't mean for that to come across as a slight to those two pubs, both of which look great - I just meant that in the context of the list, which comprised nearly 60% London pubs, having just one...
14 for me - just missing the Tabard and the list's token inclusons for Scotland and Wales. Some good pubs on there, although they could've cast their net a little wider.
Had a mini-crawl around Dulwich this evening - the average price of a pint was comfortably north of £5.50. Why on earth didn't I just go down to my local Spoons? :(
To be fair, although they are a small brewery, they do put on quite a lot of events such as gigs, comedy nights, markets, charity fundraisers as well as more obvious things like beer festivals,...

I think the Antic 'closures' are only temporary. They adopted a phased reopening plan from 4th July - there were around 15 or so that opened straight away and they've been opening others as and when...
I forgot to mention it at the time, but a couple of weeks ago I was in the Bull's Head in Reigate when former Crystal Palace and England footballer John Salako walked in and sat at the table next to...
Quick - someone notify Custodian42!!
No, thankfully not - we arrived home on the 5th Aug after a fortnight in Holland and Belgium, which was early enough to avoid the stampede and all the quarantine malarkey.
I've made my first visit to a 'proper' pub since 10th March today (I visited a couple of keg-only industrial estate brewery taps last week which didn't really satisfy). I've had to hold off due to a...
The only pub I consider to be my 'local' in the sense that Moby describes, is Claret & Ale, which I visit fairly regularly, often for a final pint after a day of pub crawling elsewhere.
But there...
