A pub is for life not just for Christmas
I've liked the Gas Lamp, and the Castle Hotel in Manchester this month and the New Oxford in Salford. More to come..
On the past few days' experience, it is a level contest between the Harp, Charing Cross, and The Merry Harriers,Hambledon, Surrey.
"At that moment I would have given a kingdom, not for champagne or hock and soda, or hot coffee but for a glass of beer" Marquess Curzon of Kedlestone, Viceroy of India.
An early contender for July was The Top Lock,Wheelton near Chorley.The food wasn't much to write home about but the ale selection.........
Mr Phat will provide the full ale line up when he gets round to doing his review,my memory has been wiped clean
Pub of the month goes to the Black Eagle, Hockley, Birmingham. This proper traditional pub has excellent ales, fabulous food, a very laidback atmosphere and good staff.
My pub of the month goes to The Commercial in Chapletown,the pub is pretty much unaltered and there were 8 micro beers on the bar.
