Pub Of The Month - May 2026
A pub is for life not just for Christmas
I'm going with The Old Star, a splendidly straight forward micropub.

Park Tavern
Best new pub visit in May ,hidden away and charming.
"Good people drink good beer" Hunter S Thompson
Few visits and only two with a '6' or above:
Dog & Duck
Just shaded by The Kings Head
Two new pubs, but my nomination reflects my annual visit to The Royal Oak
"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.
Undoubtedly Tom Cobley Tavern
Lucky you! Long-time target of mine, surprised to see the ale offer down to 4, I'm sure friends said they had 12+ on a visit years ago, but you must have been in cider heaven Blackthorn...Originally Posted by Blackthorn
Did you snag any interior pics..?
I saw you had tried to go there years ago! Did do a few interior pics, but they're not very good. More to help with my notes than posting. I have put one up though.
Been three or four times this year, the beer quality is exemplary, sadly not always the case with staff/ pub management performance.
