A pub is for life not just for Christmas
The New Oxford - Salford.
We don't often find ourselves in a pub on Friday evenings,alas,so it's a bonus when we do.Our visit to The Wheel Inn was unplanned, and all the better for it. A cracking little pub with friendly staff and locals.

Elbow Room
Worth seeking out if you are ever in Hinckley,modern yet friendly and with good drinking options it's certainly different.
"Good people drink good beer" Hunter S Thompson
Still have a soft spot for Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese and it was fun watching the bar staff trying to enforce the no modern tech rule. I was in 4 sam smiths pubs and this was the only one actively enforcing the rule although they will let people pay using a phone.
"Do I know where hell is? hell is in hello"
The Lord Stanley
A return visit after nearly six-and-a-half years and this is a very nice pub, with only two recorded visits. A good pubby feel, mixed crowd and for an apparent gastro-pub, no-one eating at 9.30 on a Saturday night.
Bath Gem on good form at £4.20, thereafter Skinner's Betty Stoggs and Tring's Side Pocket for a Toad.
There was a distinct lack of new pub visits in October for me but The Bricklayers Arms was half decent, despite being a GK joint.
"Everybody's got to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer."
-W.C.Fields
Quite a good month, but The Pheasant in Wellington stands out.
Couldn't decide between these two, both equally as good.
