So we went last weekend and Quinno's recommendations were absolutely spot on — thanks again! We also visited the Old Vine and the Bishop on the Bridge, which were fine for what we wanted at the time...
Thanks Quinno! Will report back.
Can anyone recommend a good pub for a weekend break, with accommodation, interesting real ale, and decent (needn't be fancy) food? It needs to be easily reachable by train from London (closer to...
Oh, I think the way it is now is definitely the best. I just need to pay more attention!

Ahhhh, damn, how did I manage to miss the announcement of this? I think the whole subforum thing is confusing me :( :( :(
Yeah, this one's been around for a while. I checked my email archives and it was apparently in August 2009 that I used their feedback form to let them know the pub they had listed as the closest to...
We ended up being fewer people than expected, so we went in quite a variety of pubs in the end. I'm slowly working through my photos and notes, and updating PuG as I go along (one photo, one review...
Brilliant, thanks — I found their website, and it doesn't say anything about bands on the 5th and 6th, so since we're leaving on the 7th it should be fine.
Thanks Rob! I worry slightly about the live bands though... could be a bit noisy.
Some friends and I are organising a get-together in Glasgow over the first weekend in November this year. We need a pub to be our "base" for the weekend, and have narrowed it down (partly on the...
Only just saw this thread — I don't usually read this part of the forums! Blimey it's a job and a half to get into the CAMRA forums, isn't it...
Anyway, Conrad, you're welcome, just speaking my...
Mitchells & Butlers also have a "secret" unbranded brand, the internal name for which appears to be "Castle". We first discovered this via suspiciously-similar menus, then noticed that the pubs in...
The Wikipedia entry on Tsingtao is an interesting read — seems the brewery was initially formed by an Anglo-German company, and was also owned by a Japanese brewery at one point. It's state-owned...
I think this game sounds awesome — anyone up for a go of it in London some time? :)
Not just you. There was one day a couple of summers ago (following a rather hot week) where I had a sour pint in four out of five pubs.
Thanks for the update, and for the extra info about PuG! Looking forward to seeing how you do with the data matching — you can send the CSV to me at kake@earth.li
I think we'll probably want to...
Yes :( I do wonder if perhaps it's an attempt to discourage older drinkers in favour of younger people.
Great, thanks. I think probably we'd like to link to pages where you have at least three reviews, with at least one of them being within the past year. Does that sound plausible? I don't know how...
Thank you for the welcome, and for the kind words about RGL! Getting a CSV or something from you would be great. Would you be wanting to link back to us as well?
I'll have a chat with a couple...
Aw, blush, thank you :) And thanks again to Roger for telling me where everyone had gone to!
When I get a chance, I'll start adding Pubs Galore links on the RGL pages. I may have to automate it...
I live fairly close to The Fort — http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/24230/ — and often go past it on the bus. It always looks closed, though I'm reliably informed that it looks exactly the same when...
I actually had a dream about these the other week. It was so realistic that I spent some time the next day trying to work out which pub I'd seen them in, but eventually concluded that it was just...
I'm with arwkrite here — I'm just under 5 foot 3, and consider bar stools to be a particularly cruel form of punishment.
(PS Hello! RogerB kindly let me know that everyone had moved here. Good...
