My pub of the month for October goes to The Wheatsheaf a really nice looking pub from the outside and just as good once inside,with cracking Everards beers on the bar.
The Kings Arms, despite the fairly high prices ,a cracking boozer with a real buzz about it.

Tapping The Admiral in Camden / Kentish Town.
It was quiet on my weekday afternoon visit.
The Elephant Inn In Faversham. Well worth a visit, and it's not a Shepherd and Neame house despite being in Faversham.
The Nags Head Excellent pub and very hard to leave.
The Black Lion,Nantwich gets POTM,it's been a real ale outlets for years but has had a chequered past.In and out of the GBG and even closed for a while but the new team here have done a great job. The building speaks for itself,it ticks all the right boxes and the pub is now a very good reason to plan a revisit to Nantwich.

Despite having enjoyed an excellent couple of hours in The Cover Bridge Inn,which is probably my ideal pub, my vote goes to Strathmore Arms, the most northerly pub in the old North Riding.Wonderful atmosphere and welcome, and busy on a wet Wednesday afternoon in October.Classic.
