A pub is for life not just for Christmas
A very eclectic bunch this month and all deliberately first-time visits. Some lovely pubs which I'd been putting off for years, so I decided to employ a new pub visit system called Getting off my Lazy Arse.
The Approach Tavern
Archway Tavern
The Beehive
The Blind Beggar
Boston Arms
The Camel
Cask
The Dundee Arms
The Empress
The Finsbury
The Florist Arms
Good Samaritan
The Lord Tredegar
The Palm Tree
The Pembury Tavern
People's Park Tavern
The Salisbury Hotel
The Weavers Arms
The White Hart
The Widow's Son
POTM goes jointly to the Salisbury for its opulence, Lord Tredegar for its pubbyness and the Camel because it's soooo cute, you just want to pick it up, take it home and give it a saucer of warm milk!
Ya-Bard
Might not suit a pub traditionalist,but for me a real treat when in Stratford upon Avon.
"Good people drink good beer" Hunter S Thompson
The Green Man, if only because it has a corrugated iron roof. COVID 19 regulations rather decreased its charms.
"At that moment I would have given a kingdom, not for champagne or hock and soda, or hot coffee but for a glass of beer" Marquess Curzon of Kedlestone, Viceroy of India.
The White Horse Brancaster Staithe for serving several very well kept pints of Oystercatcher.
"Beer is food." Morse, Colin Dexter
Three cracking pubs visited in October amongst others.
The White Horse
The Flowerpots Inn
The Plough
Can't really split them apart but being the only new pub of the three for me I'll give POTM to The White Horse, Lovely trad pub with good beer and grub.
"Everybody's got to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer."

You need a good Ordnance Survey map to find The Timber Batts but it's worth it.
