Ticked off six of those namely Paddington,Kings Cross,Sheffield,Dewsbury,Stalybridge and Sowerby Bridge (and agree with a&h as ,where is the York Tap ? )
"Good people drink good beer" Hunter S Thompson
Ive done 6 on the list,
Mad Bishop & Bear,Parcel Yard,Sheffield Tap,Staylybridge Buffet bar,Great Western and West Riding Refreshment Rooms.
Not sure why the York Tap is missing and Mad Bishop and Bear is on the list.
We are all equal,but some are more equal than others
None for me,though I have been to the York Tap. Usually use the Harp and the Rake as station taps,though I don't travel much by rail.
"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.
Been to seven in recent times, plus one long ago (Great Western, Exeter), looked through the windows of another because it was closed at the time Sheffield Tap), leaving just the Railway Arms at Downham Market that has escaped me completely so far...
I'm on nil. I too have looked through the windows of the Sheffield Tap wondering why it was shut. Lack of time stopped me from visiting the Jubilee Rooms.
How about the café at Snowdon summit station? It's been rebuilt but the old place used to sell cider out of a plastic barrel during the limited times it was open.
