A hard one this month - The Earl of Normanton is as strong as ever, while I've discovered some excellent places in Oxfordshire (Radnor Arms in Coleshill and the King and Queen in Longcott in particular) and have enjoyed my favourite Edinburgh haunts (Halfway House and Bow Bar). Most months any of these would have been a strong contender, but this month I happen to have been in The Guidedog in Southampton which always feels a bit like visiting an old friend. So, my POTM is that one ( http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/59830/ ).
