Thought it might be interesting to learn about each other's favourite haunts. I'm sure most of us have a pub down the road that we use for convenience, but have a spiritual local that we deem worth the extra travel. I'll always associate The Baum in Rochdale with ROBCamra and The Silk Kite, Tamworth with Hoppy but what about everyone else?

To get the ball rolling, my village local is The New Inn, Walton. www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/41295 a big hearted, GBG listed, community local. However, if I want a decent session I usually head for the Fernandes Tap in the centre of Wakefield: www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/55466 A CAMRA multi-award winner. Usually ten pumps to go at in a setting of real character. (Of course the omnipresent RogerB managed to review it, after his visit up here, before I got my lardy arse into gear!)

Over to you.
