The Scotch Piper, Lydiate, Lancashire |
I recently posted a quick top-of-the-head list of sixty of the best pubs in Britain. I made the point that I had omitted some well-known classic pubs which I had been to, simply because I hadn’t visited them for twenty-five years or more, such as:
- Bell, Aldworth, Berkshire
- Blue Ship, The Haven, Sussex
- Olde Tavern, Kington, Herefordshire
- Pandora, Restronguet Creek, Cornwall
- Roscoe Head, Liverpool
- Square & Compass, Worth Matravers, DorsetThree Kings, Hanley Castle, Worcestershire
People also mentioned a number of pubs that were in their personal top tens that I hadn’t ever visited myself. Now, I’m not a dedicated pub explorer in the mould of Simon Everitt or Martin Taylor, but when I travel around the country I do make an effort to visit any outstanding pubs in the area. These are a few that either others have suggested or I’m aware of myself.
- Bag O’Nails, Bristol (no idea what the attraction is there)
- Beacon Hotel, Sedgeley, Staffordshire
- Berkeley, Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire
- Coopers Tavern, Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire
- Holly Bush, Makeney, Derbyshire
- Peter Kavanagh’s, Liverpool
- Queen’s Arms, Cowden Pound, Kent
- Scotch Piper, Lydiate, Lancashire
- Tuckers Grave, Faulkland, SomersetVine (Bull & Bladder), Brierley Hill, Staffordshire
Any other ideas for must-visit pubs around the country that I may have missed? They don’t need to be untouched olde-worlde survivors, but pubs with some character over and above just the appeal of their beer range.
