Yet another list

[trainman]

That is a surprisingly excellent list - best I think I've seen posted on this thread.

8/12 for me

The Bell Inn, Aldworth
The Oxford Bar, Edinburgh
Southampton Arms, North London
Ypres Inn, Rye
Pride of Spitalfields, east London
Basketmakers, Brighton
The Magnet, Stockport
Sunflower, Belfast

All the others are on my long-term hit list!

Same ticks for me, except Sunflower unless I visited unknowingly when in Belfast.

Potentially a list to avoid rather than visit - Estrella Damm's Top 100 Gastropubs for 2024 (in two parts). On a very unscientific read through I reckon I have been to about 25, although mainly before they went gastro.

In fairness, there are some splendid historic pubs in there (and even a few very good ones) and I suppose it is better that they survive in some form rather than just closing down.

just the French House for me, and I only visited the downstairs bar.

As most of these lists are very London-centric...

I've only been to one pub in Leeds and that was in late '88; it's long demolished, so it's a zero for me, but then I'm just too London-centric.

And zero for me.

[Quinno]

AI has done a better list than some of the others I've seen on here over the years

https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/lat...-pubs-31988649

Admittedly one has been closed for 2 years!

[Quinno]

And zero for me.

Same.

[Strongers]

None of these:https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2...winter-weekend

Also zero, although I've recently moved house and the Jolly Sportsman is only 16 miles away so it's now on my list.

[Tris39]

And zero for me.

I haven't even heard of any of these.

Another bagel for Wittenden's list, but 6/10 for Quinno's one.
