A pub is for life not just for Christmas
The Woodlands in Silverdale. Not often I find a pub I consider completely unique but this was one.
Two disappointing mini-crawls of Bethnal Green and then Oxford over the long weekend. All new pubs to me and most for the last time too. Nothing great, but a couple were enjoyable and a couple will appeal to the craft keg brigade:
Bethnal Green Tavern
The Kings Arms
Marquis of Cornwallis
The Old George - Pub of the Month.
The Salmon & Ball
The Shakespeare
The Star of Bethnal Green
The Sun Tavern
Well & Bucket
Big Society
BrewDog Oxford
City Arms
The Cowley Retreat
Dew Drop Inn
The Library
The Magdalen Arms
The Plough at 38
Several to choose from on my successful trip to watch Salford in Hull. The city has improved massively in the twenty or so years I've been visiting. Hop and Vine is narrowly beaten by Furley and Co which had ale and craft aplenty, alongside good music and upbeat staff. A nice area of seating between a pedestrian area and the rejuvenated quays.
The superb Hand & Heart in Peterborough.
"Breakneck speed we drown ten pints of bitter"
The Cornubia, One of a number of great pubs in Bristol enjoyed over the last couple of days.
