A pub is for life not just for Christmas
A toss-up for two pubs that were new visits:
The Kings Head
The Queens Arms
Then a toss-up between three revisits:
The Crown
The Myddleton Arms
On the basis of ale quality and variety, POTM goes to the ever reliable Southampton Arms
That's a great call for POTM ,I too enjoyed a great session in there in December.
But the other standout and POTM for me was The Broken Seal Tap Room,a real surprise in Stevenage Old Town

In agreement with Tris this month , The Southampton Arms never lets me down and didn't in December.
"Everybody's got to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer."

I made about three trips in December. It was very lovely in there with vinyl on the turntable and no Christmas songs; have you seen the massive stack of vinyl creeping up the stairs to the left of the bar?
The real fire makes a great addition, but it can still be very chilly in there; a sea of drinkers in duffle coats and bobble hats.
