For an alfresco pint, these places are hard to beat.
The Spaniards Inn, established circa 1585, is a pub soaked in history. Dick Turpin's father was landlord here in the 18th century, it was referenced in Dicken's Pickwick Papers and Keats allegedly wrote his Ode to a Nightingale in the garden. Housed in a charming grade II listed building, the...
Not having been to this one for a while, we found it's turned out well after a recentish refurb - equipped with pleasant and friendly staff and relaxed locals of all sorts. It's managed to pull off the feel of a traditional pub but is modern at the same time. Our complaints about lack of beer...
Kingston-upon-Hull has had its share of bad press, but is now firmly on the up thanks to town-centre development and the success of its sports teams. Dating from the 1550s, and essentially unchanged since, this lovely...
Located in the Horfield area on the very northern edge of Bristol, but a stone's throw from the border with South Gloucestershire (hence, we presume, the name), the Gloucester Arms is a large, airy pub - akin to a barn - of the type which were all the rage a few years back. On our visit, however,...
This pub is another well-kept secret in the middle of the Surrey Hills. Probably best known by walkers who use it as a base to scale the nearby Leith Hill, The Plough is fabulous. One of the biggest draws for us is the pubs own microbrewery, The Leith Hill Brewery, brewers of three cracking ales...
Formerly the oddly-named Arty P's, we came here expecting much the same as before - the same bar but a different name - but this wasn't the case. Located a short stroll off Dorking's High Street, Red Bar & Lounge appears to be filling a gap in the market for Dorking's drinkers. If you're not...
The Yorkshire House has taken on several guises over the years and its current one doesn't reveal itself until you're past the front door. If you judge books by covers, you would be for thinking that this was a sleepy, "old-man's" pub as it promises little from the outside. However, once inside...
Situated in the quiet, friendly village of Torver, just outside Coniston, the Church House Inn is nigh on perfect. It dates back to the 15th century and not a lot has changed. The low-beamed ceiling (with coins jammed into the fissures in the wood), flag-stoned bar houses a mishmash of furniture...
Sitting to the south of the town centre, unless you have local knowledge you are likely to encounter the Riverside Inn only if heading on foot to/from the train station to the Designer Outlet. As such, it is a welcome nineteenth hole after indulging in retail therapy. This fact, however, does not...
After a long train journey, it's good to find a decent place for a pint. The Three Mariners isn't the closest pub to Lancaster station but it's certainly worth bypassing the other pubs for. Despite it being surrounded by a multi-storey car-park and blocks of apartments, this little oasis is a...
We were recently introduced to the Rose & Crown by a friend and alumnus of nearby St. Hugh's College. How glad we are that we were - this place had eluded us when previously holed up in North Oxford, and it's the kind of pub we would all love to have around the corner. The beer was very good...
This is an unusual pub inasmuch as it sits on Europe's largest inhabited roundabout for one and is probably one of the highest profile pubs in the area - it sits on the main entrance road to Farnham and everyone sees it pretty much every day.
Large seating area out the front on the green is...
This must be one of the busiest pubs in the city because of the enviable position it has bang on the edge of Spice Island where the Solent meets the Portsmouth docks - and the photos on the walls of naval ships are worth the price of a beer alone.
Outside seating is a huge draw as long as it's...
It's big, it's brash and dominates this part of town. The range of drinks is bafflingly large and I expect the stock holding alone could re-float a small South American country's debt provision and to all contrary impulses we thought it was great. Not the usual cup of tea for FAP - it's sort of...
