Another micropub this month, that's three in a row, this time in Southampton and is The Bottle & Stoat.

A very quiet month...but a 5th and a 70th birthday in Leeds gave some options from Good Friday.

The Grove still looks a sorry sight, so it's between Banker's Cat, Scarborough Hotel and The Hop.

The Hop - Leeds. I do like that area south of the station, slightly less well-known but away from the crowds.

Holy shit! I had no idea about that incident at the Grove, was it posted here? What an absolute bastard, and I see that the asbestos company has binned many items, even copper bar and table tops, without reference to the pub, who are (or were) looking for replacement mirrors, memorabilia etc.
Hope it gets back to somewhere near its excellent best soon...

Best new tick of March,lots of heritage and well kept ESB always helps.

[Tris39]

31 new visits for March with just six being above average:

The Alexandra
Crown & Anchor
The Devonshire
The King & Co
Trinity Arms

By a comfortable margin, POTM goes to Balham Bowls Club.

I get the impression the clearing company were "following rules"...but I'm not expert on asbestos type stuff!

The Grove was my local from work 2004-12 and I visited at lunch once or twice per week (back when drinking was "permitted" at lunch...!)
