    Looking forward to two fat ladies but ended up with a cup of tea at The Nightingale on the Green. It's strange how things can change in over a decade and not always for the better.

    I thought I'd give the place an hour's road test yesterday from 9.30pm 'til 10.30. Including those outside (who would have been indoors if but for the weather) the place was essentially full with a...

    A visit yesterday found two unused clips, one reversed the four pale ales, one best and the very fine Mighty Oak's Saxon Strong. Not a great selection by any stretch but perhaps it picks up from...

    I go quite frequently and haven't had a problem, so perhaps luck had a hand in it; maybe the ale choice was, as mentioned, due to the impending Bank Holiday.

    Went to The Pembury Tavern last night - a half of Five Points Best for £2.15 and very nice too.

    Not sure at the time where anyone would go for a quality drink/pub round there. There's now the Euston Tap and Scottish Stores (now down to serving just Hammerton's N1) and I doubt the Queen's Head...

    I used to like Pride under the old brewer/recipe, but I also find its ubiquity disheartening.

    I didn't get any real ale when I visited.



    I find sparklers enliven flavour.



    In my experience, albeit limited, I would never chose a beer from stillage; I find they taste dead.

    Yup. I think the aeration improves the flavour, a bit like letting red wine 'breathe'. They also give head, which I like as this gives an improved mouth feel.

    Pretty much mirrors my experience on Saturday. Less busy than Friday when I didn't go in for lack of space, but on the Saturday it was less busy and about five bar hogs were congregating in front of...

    I suppose disappointments are relative: went to The Wenlock Arms to find the bar blocked by seated barholes. When I finally managed to see what was on offer, there were 7/10 pumps in use (eight if...

    The Ship & Shovell - I had thought that this was unique due to the duality of the setup, perhaps with a subterranean room allowing you to descend in one half then rise in the other, but no, the...

    Does the pub trade not realise that restrictions in this sector have been lifted? If they are going to be doing this now (and the mask crap), then presumably they'll be doing it ten years from now...

    Yes. I've spotted this in a fair number of places. I wonder if perhaps managers want to reduce transmission so that they don't get pinged and have to close. But it doesn't make for a good experience,...

    That may be it as I don't think I'd discovered it five years ago, in which case for me it hasn't changed.
