Looks like all of the pubs in the village will be reopening tomorrow. Glad to see it but really not sure how financially viable it will turn out for them. I’ll be at the Masons Arms at some point...

Very sad news. I didn’t always agree, but I would always take the time to read anything he wrote here. A really informative reviewer too.

If I have bought an alcoholic drink and consumed it on the premises, whether inside or outside, I think I’m entitled to class it as a tick. But I usually refrain from giving it a rating unless I have...

Well I’m more than happy to voluntarily stay out of any venue - permanently - that thinks it’s reasonable to exclude me from public life for being a ‘kiddie’

Ah yes, erasing black history for a white woman... all in the name of progress of course.

I lived in Lancaster for five years but the Stonewell and Water Witch were never regular haunts. Never made it to the Snatchems Golden Ball which I rather regret now as I think it has closed down.

Favourite new ticks this year:
The Ackhorne - friendly, common sense approach to Covid, warm cosy atmosphere, great beer.
Cafe Rene - I always love finding somewhere totally unique, especially when...

I couldn’t get out of the Lord Warden fast enough back in March. Sad to think it was my last tick before Covid lockdowns.

Trips to Chester, London and Newcastle at the start of the year then staycationing in the summer meant I didn't too bad, it has been a miserable last quarter of the year though with either...

Two more takes me to 82. Almost certainly done for the year now.

Same situation for me here on the Greater Manchester - Merseyside border.

I really don’t understand the logic of not splitting Lancashire when Essex has been. Most of it should be tier 2 but has...

The Reverend Plummer has returned to its original name The Eagle & Child.

Sir John Fitzgerald pub group acquired in multimillion-pound deal

Enjoyed a number of their pubs when I visited Newcastle early this year.

Interesting to see some pubs in Liverpool that have never done food (to my knowledge) open today with very cheap meal deal offerings.

Any pub will be a must-visit after this year!

This has now been announced- the war on pubs shows no sign of slowing down. No doubt the north west will be in Tier 2, so wet pubs will have to remain shut despite the infection rate in Merseyside...

The White Horse has changed again and is now the Ukulele.

I have had a drink in 6 of them, yet to visit quite a few of the London ones.

But lots of people are capable of drinking a few cans on a long journey whilst remaining civilised, and surely shouldn’t be punished because of the likes of Superbrew girl. And if we’re just setting...

Living in a Tier 3 area now, I’m not going to visit a gastropub for a meal on my own, and most places I would want to visit have closed anyway. So who knows when I’ll drink in a pub again. Have a...

It seems like there will be an announcement early next week which is likely to include the closure of pubs and restaurants in vast swathes of the north.

Greene King to close 79 pubs - expect to see a lot more of these stories in coming months. 25 pubs permanently closed and 54 temporarily... maybe.

Just one this month, The Denbigh Castle, taking me to 80.

Martys is now called Pat & Dad Kitchen and Bar.

Police will not be investigating pub ‘spanking’ incident
