Now that is forward planning!
Did not know that, thanks!
I note that PG pub profiles carry a distance from various travel hubs/stations. Without wanting to replicate the discredited dark side, the facility to look at pubs within a distance of a station,...
Just been through the list provided by a search of 'Bristol'. HUGELY disappointed to now find that many pubs are inexplicably excluded from the list - why would the likes of Barley Mow, Hillgrove...
Foiled by the owner of the Little r'Ale House, Wellingborough, deciding on Tues that he wouldn't be opening on Weds anymore, starting the following day, yesterday, when I was due to meet a mate...
I've mentioned this place a few times, Crown, probably in this thread, an old favourite but no longer.
Went to pot when big Steve left (a different one Mick!) with the new guy reducing beers in...
Have to agree, at least on the beer front. Last visit, I guess shortly after the change of stewardship, had 4 or 5 beers on handpump, tried 3, all undrinkable, had to send them all back, and...
Visited on Thurs and discovered that the long-feared sword of Damocles is set to fall on Porters Railway in January.

The opening-hours-post thread argument. FFS!
Presumably on cask John? That is disappointing, in their own outlet too...
Being early for a Borough meet last week I decided to divert to pay a long-overdue visit to South Wimbledon's Trafalgar, once on train I thought I should check opening hours - only to find that it...
And now an unconnected search from another thread has alerted me that the Hillsborough Hotel has closed?
Things are unravelling badly if these institutions are being lost...
I thought the Crown Posada was the jewel in the Toon's pub Crown, so would be a shame if struggling to reopen, and I've never been.
Elsewhere, grim news coming through regarding Porters Railway,...
Day visit to Lille found most of the researched targets in 'Vieux Lille' closed until 15:00/16:00/17:00(!), well that's no effin use to day trippers, or even local shoppers, is it?
I should have...
The paucity of pubs in SE London has lead to an unbelievable list for CAMRA poty. Perhaps they have a time-out before previous winners can be considered again, or maybe good places like the Blythe...
Agreed BF. A reversal of beer policy will undoubtedly see this (currently) excellent little pub disappear without trace, whence it came...
Didn't make local GBG? That's a travesty!
Tried your links Moby, looks like you were going round in circles! ;)
Very disappointing day in Liverpool. The Philharmonic was a particular let-down with just 3 beers across 8 pumps, and 2 of those were Doombar and Black Sheep gold! Three of the 4 drab offerings at...
DOTW was the Garden Gate, Hunslet, Leeds. Not the pub, a splendidly tiled survivor and well worth the trip down, but just 3 beers on, one undrinkable and the other 2 poor - tasting of plastic.
DOTW yesterday was a visit to Putney Bricklayers, only to find every one of the 9(?) pumps offering beer from Cottleigh Brewery. Shoddy cellar planning.
Could have been a double-joker, but left...
Earlier this evening I requested a travelcard (with network card discount) for tmw.
A couple of weeks ago £5.90, now £7.90 (or undiscounted up from ~£8.50 to £12.00)!!!!!!
Either way, that's...
I just discovered that the transport direct website has been terminated.
I found it a very useful tool, especially for planning bus transport out in the boonies, and am disappointed that it has...
My pal had to reject two pints last month at the Sussex, one cloudy, one pure mud.
My disappointment of the week is that Otis could ever be described as 'crap'!
Well that's disappointment vote number two for this festival as it was advertised in (Feb-Mar) London Drinker as 06-09April, so I've missed it too!
Thought it strange not to incorporate a weekend...
