A tough call, both first timers for me but probably won't stay in that category, there's Southsea's Leopold Tavern or the delightful The Well House Inn visited at the weekend. Struggling to decide, might both need a revisit.

A bit foody, but friendly, and a good pitstop on the way to Norwich:The White Hart Inn. What's more , the beer is served on gravity from a temperature controlled taproom.

Completely transformed from a student dive into a GBG2014 listed real ale pub. Top job guys.
A pub is for life not just for Christmas
I enjoyed a visit to The Old Harkers Arms in Chester.
You can moor outside, the atmosphere's good and the service friendly, the beer range is excellent and includes an outstanding Flowers Original as a regular and you have the choice of a Thai/Tempanyaki restaurant above and posh curry house next door when you've finished.
The stand out for me in September was The Bhurtpore Inn,Aston. Up to 12 real ales constantly rotating chosen by a landlord who likes his beer and is not afraid to offer high ABV's,a range of styles,and will give up and coming micros a go.No chance of seeing any of the real ale horror show such as Bombardier,GK IPA,Doom Bar ,OSH etc etc....Great interior,good food,eclectic ale range all in a sleepy little village in the middle of nowhere,yet walkable from the canal.

My pub of the month for September goes to the Spring Cottage Inn a back street Ilson pub that i have been in loads of times,it has been done up but is still a very nice pub.
