Quite possibly. I've only been to two: The Audley and The Victoria Arms, neither I'd put on a 'top pubs' list.

National Pub and Bar Awards 2024.

They look great but some of their websites show alarming interior gastrofication; that's if you can navigate the endless posed photos of food or double beds, boasting Egyptian cotton sheets...
I've...

All lovely and very tickety-boo and none visited (outside Burford and Chipping Campden) as I bomb through from Oxford via Cheltenham. Is The Seven Tuns Inn actually open?

And behold! Another list: National Gastropubs!

I haven't even heard of any of these.

I've only been to one pub in Leeds and that was in late '88; it's long demolished, so it's a zero for me, but then I'm just too London-centric. :whistle:

Pity we missed this on our crawl.

I liked some comments on the list, like "...it’s not a hipster ‘craft’ hangout and nor is it a haven for beer bores." for the Southampton and "...Bass, is served...

Just the Southampton and Pride of Spitalfields. Yup - pretty good.

Greenwich is a very mixed bag, but has some recent reviews. If you visit the Angerstein, it's best appreciated late on a Fri/Sat night. ;)

If using the Cutty Sark DLR, it's actually worth a short...

Oh it was bad; my review was a little diplomatic, me not mentioning the skinheads in Fred Perrys. But this was a Friday?/Saturday? at gone 9.00pm not on a Tuesday (a non-drinking day) and at...

Yes. It's not an early doors pub and the couple who've run the place since around 1975 aren't that welcoming to strangers, but it's certainly worth a look before they go to that great beer garden in...

If I could also add one from the list as one to do before it goes the way of the dodo, then as mentioned by many reviewers The Palm Tree is one not to miss and there are some very decent adjacent...

42 for me with some on my 'to-do' list.

Not a bad list at all but did raise my eyebrows on occasion:

Devonshire - brand new interior opened a little over a week ago and very gastro.
Cow -...

Oxford comes in at 13 and has drinks prices that can rival central London.





They claim Oxford has 26 bars and pubs per 100,000 of the population, which should mean about 40 for a population...

Much of the list seems to have been predicated on the 'bushiness' of the pub; they missed this.

Definitely a strange list but at least it admits to selecting 'pretty' pubs than than quality ones; even the Blue Posts has gone down hill. And I can definitely live without the Hereford Arms,...

House! But a pretty pub doesn't necessarily mean a pretty good experience - admire a bush then it's off: the Churchill...Hereford...Dickens...

And apart from the lack of cask, you won't get any pub heritage and you'll be paying around £4.00 a half too...:whistle:

Impressive indeed.

Otherwise, just five for me: Bull, Tavern on the Hill, Royal Oak and the Rick Astley-themed Mikkeler Bar (formerly George & Dragon) though these are all traditional pubs....

Yup.



Entertaining yes, but certainly not a pub.

Otherwise, just the Audley.

And a category called Greene King Pub of the Year?

Would it be fair to say then that as far as drinkers go, Stein's doesn't give a sausage?

Otherwise: 16:25.

Not sure if we'd had this:

Another visit indeed.

Just five for me:

Rutland Arms.
Crow Inn.
Bath Hotel.
Red Deer.
Sheffield Tap

Grade 'C' French O'level nearly 40 years ago, rusty but not forgotten. It seems Danny La Rue is slang analogous to Scooby Doo - 'clue', as in 'Haven't a Scooby/Danny'; perhaps Time Out is trying to...
