The Punch And Judy, Covent Garden
Don't bother - no proper beer and typical tourist pub with unfriendly staff. Good location but that's it

Old Wainhouse Inn, Wainhouse Corner
Spent week in North Cornwall and found this pub on the way back from Bude on our last day of the holiday. Looks a bit cheesy from the outside and we were expecting the worse but how wrong we were - execllent Doombar beer and the food was also excellent. My wife had a burger with proper chips, not oven ready chips! Just wich we had sound the place earlier

The Rock Point Inn, Lyme Regis
Excellent position and views over the bay but sadly a shabby run down pub - only one draft ale and the food was abysmal

Went here after a walk from Lyme and was pleased with the range of ales particulary Otter. We had the carvery which was excellent which we ate in the beer garden. Recommended

Best pub in Lyme! Great selection of beer and cider served by a cheery barmaid and good food.

The Pilot Boat Inn, Lyme Regis
This pub has a great location but it's a dump. Only one draught beer as all the others were off and the food was terrible.

I have had the misfortune of going to this pub before and despite vowing to never return, I did due to the fact that we were looking at cars and in the area and the pub was nearby and we were hungry.
Well, nothing has changed - dark, tired and shabby. Our table had scratch marks on it made presumabley by a knife. God awful tetley beer and a range of canned draft beers. Food abmissal. Avoid the place unless you like Brewster Bears or a very down market Harvester.

The Perch and Pike, South Stoke
I have been going the Perch for the past 10 years well ever since my sister moved to South Stoke and despite the ever changing landlords, would give it 8/10.
Excellent beer and friendly staff but haven,t eaten there for a while so can't comment

Pretty average really, beer OK and well kept and food adequate. My might go back just for the lovely garden

Good selection of beer and cider - I went for the Westons Old Rosie (cider) good stuff but strong 7%! Food was normal pub grub and eneviable oven ready chips. The staff were friendly enough but the locals a bit hostile - whinging that it was more like restaurant than a pub. Well keep it as just a pub and you'd have one less drinking hole in Salcombe

Good little pub and some good beers. Food was fine but the dreaded oven ready chips still make an appearance! Very friendly

Went in here for something to eat - not hot food but great beer and atmopshere. Typical old local - good!

The Moon Under Water, Leicester Square
Normal spoons but probably worse than the average. Plus side - cheap beer and food. Negatives - plastic glasses and pretty awful food
10 May 2010 20:09
Never really liked this pub having found it always a bit grotty. Good outside seating and the beer is OK. never eaten there since a poor meal about 10 years ago so not really being fair

Not a bad pub with good outside facilities for young children. Food was typical low cost pub grub. Beer was OK. No real comments and can't get really too excited about the cock
20 Apr 2010 23:04
Well being a local things have to be good and they weren't about 18 months - expensive and rubbish food. Much better now with some good local ciders and casks ales. Food was good but expensive

Well, we went in this pub because we needed some food. The Shep's was fine and well kept. The barmaid or is it 'barperson' was friendly and explained that they were having another change of management, the tenth in 4 years. Clearly a pub having problems - Sunday lunchtime and only 10 people in the place. An out of date dump really and only the redeeming points were the friendly staff

The Royal Hotel, St Leonards on Sea
Only went to this pub because we needed some food. Directors was fine and the food was cheap and excellent.

The Horse and Groom, St Leonards on Sea
Typical St Leonards boozer. Adnams was fine and the atmosphere OK. Liked it
4 Jan 2010 18:59
Typical small town boozer - live music on Sundays which is fine, Good Shep's beer

Enjoyed a pint of the local cider at this pub - cheap! Good location and friendly staff
18 Sep 2009 17:03
This is obvisously a young person's 'club' type pub but has a great location on the river. Popped in for a pint and meet up with family for lunch. Normal collection of tinned draft beers - Stella, Fosters and other junk. Service was awful, during my ordering a round the person serving me decided to serve some chips up to a table, not her fault just bad organisation. Didn't bother to eat. Avoid - unless you are a clubbing type who likes Fosters and music that resembles a car a alarm going off

I enjoyed this pub and sat out and ate on two occaisons which were both good - fish cakes. Can't remember the beer but is was good! Staff friendly
18 Sep 2009 16:33
Beer was fine! Palmers Gold. Food was OK - mussels were fresh, I think and my wife stuck with the scampi. Sat outside on a hot September afternoon which was fine apart from the picnic benches - very 80's and uncomfortable. Staff friendly
18 Sep 2009 16:22
OK pub, friendly barman and the cider I had was execellent - can't remember the name but some local stuff. Other beers were Stella and normal John Smith's rubbish. Only had the one pint so can't really rate it
18 Sep 2009 16:17
I often walk from Rye to Icklesham with friends and the dog and always visit the Queens. Good beer and the pub grub is excellent coupled with a great view - what else do you need. Good pub which just keeps the standard up

Used to drink here before the game at Chelsea but defected to 'Spoons' just up the road. Pricey and grubby
30 Aug 2009 09:09
Good pub and the beer is cheap being a 'Spoons' and great for Chelsea pre-match drinks. Food was OK
30 Aug 2009 08:20
More like a restaurant really but I suppose pubs can't rely just on beer. Beer was good but food disappointing and expensive. The pub is in a beautiful location but seems to have a sterile atmsophere not as I remember it
2 Aug 2009 08:28
Good selection of beers and cider and a great location. Food is usual pub stuff, fortunatley they had lemon sole on the specials which was very tasty. Served with bloody garnish and 'old' new potatoes. I'd go elsewhere to eat as there are plenty of other pubs in Fowey and Polruan
11 Jul 2009 08:17
Beer Ok but expensive. The food was terrible! How do pubs get away with selling this junk? I had some chicken/bacon thing massacred by the microwave with the envitable oven ready chips and of course - a wallop of garnish. Tacky tables and outdated decor - a dump but popular

The Old Plough House Inn, Duloe
Beer good - food a bit average. Friendly staff, in all - OK
10 Jul 2009 22:52
Can't really judge the ale as I went for the cider, which was OK. Great location overlooking the Thames and ideal on a hot day but the food was overpriced and bloody awful - avoid the chicken supreme sandwich with the envitable oven ready chips unless you like burnt anyhthing and cardboard chips for �10
16 Jun 2009 20:42
To be fair only had a beer here and it was OK but the pub seem to lack any atomsphere but it was mid week and March. Friendly staff and locals.
26 Mar 2009 14:25
Great pub - friendly, great beer and the food was good pub nosh.
Seems to attract the locals and the place was heaving on a damp March Wednesday night, says something
26 Mar 2009 14:22
Expensive! Kipper and chips (oven ready) was nearly �9, plus the beer was overpriced. Friendly staff and good view back to Southwold.
Open fire was good
26 Mar 2009 14:19
I seem to remember the pub was a lot different in 1997 when we came last and not as good. It was OK and the beer was fine (Adnams Broadside). Food was OK, invetiable garnish and oven ready chips with the pie. Was going to use as the main watering hole for our short break but defected to the Nelson
26 Mar 2009 14:13
Surprised no one has done a review - excellent pub. We have had 2 christmas do's here and the food is really good! Beer -well kept,
Mostly locals use it, Kent and East Sussexers., and love it for quality food and a good welcome

Hot September day and sat outside. Nice pint of cider and the pasties are great
28 Sep 2008 09:21
Beer OK, food - typical pub stuff and not very exciting. Friendly staff and a great view over the estuary
28 Sep 2008 09:18
The 'local'in Appledore.Friendly staff and locals, live music and sky TV in the back room, the only pub for footy in Appledore.
Good range of beers and local cider
28 Sep 2008 09:16
Recently boycotted by locals due to their policy of no drinking if your'e not eating policy on the weekend.
Anyway - overpriced! �4.50 for a small glass of wine!
They can stick it
21 Jun 2008 08:22
Good local pub with sky for footy. No frills and the town needs this type of boozer
19 May 2008 22:01
Good food - great sunday lunch. Beer kept well. Can be a bit tatty outside - untidy and gives a false impression.
have had a a good number meals here
19 May 2008 21:57
I'm a local, well Rye, and pop in the Owl when I;ve walked the dog at Camber. Great pub and friendly -proper local boozer

The Crown and Thistle, Northiam
An unchanged pub that feels like a pub should be. Plenty of ales, friendly staff and wonderful garden. Had a sandwich for lunch - all good.
