The staff, food, accommodation and appearance of the pub can not be faulted, all excellent in my opinion. However, the real ale wasn't up to scratch. I tried 4 of the Wadworth ales, the 'best' being Bishops Tipple. The others were too cold and lifeless. Would like to visit again if in the area, and hopefully try some guest ales if on. Also a good selection for the non real ale drinker, a few Dutch lagers & stowford cider.

Lovely looking pub with very nice beer garden. Good range of local ales. Didnt try any food but what I saw looked very tasty.

The Harbourside Inn, Charlestown
Very nice modern pub with a nautical feel to it. Very clean, thought the staff were good. Nice pint of Cornish Knocker too

I felt the food was overpriced, 7quid for a very small prawn 'baguette'. The Tribute ale was mediocre. Staff seemed friendly enough, although some of the customers were of the whopper variety. On the whole a clean pub, good for a stop off or if your in the area and wanna catch live sport on tv.

Pleasant enough little pub with very friendly staff & locals, very keen to chat. Probably the best pint of Tinners I had during recent holiday.

Great pub with nice long beer garden. Had a good pint of Black Prince from the pump & Tribute out the back during a recent charity bbq.

Absolutely Fantastic!! Think they had 9 beers & a cider on last night. Some real hideaway snugs in the bar area. Had some food on the previous night too which was fine. Even the music being played through the system was good. Highly recommend

Excellent food & service, lovely beer garden & restaurant area. Although the beers didnt over impress on my visit, (Doom Bar, Stogs & a Hydes beer), this is definateley one of the nicest little pubs ive ever been too.

The Duke of Wellington, Bourton on the Water
Stayed here recently. 6 handpumps with NO REAL ALE. Disappointing

Had an enjoyable lunchtime here in march09, mainly due to the fact that Liverpool beat utd 4-1. 99p for a glass of wine? Fantastic. I was on the 80/, lovely stuff, and the pie n peas/beans? Need I say more. Would definately visit again when next in Glasgow

Ive enjoyed this pub on the 2 occasions i've visited. Decent range of ales and a good food menu. I'd ditch the radio that stands on the bar in the main eating room though.

The Half Moon Inn, Clyst St Mary
visited last night, unable to sample any food/ale as their card machine wasn't working. 3 ales on. The bargirl told me it was their 1st night under new management; I over-heard some locals saying so far so good. Hopefully when im next in the area I'll go back. Found a nearby toby which had Tribute on, fantastic pint.

Lively & busy when I visited. The beer was ok, but I thought the layout & character of the pub was great. A Mixed crowd and The toilets could definately do with a bit of TLC.
21 Jul 2009 20:36
Wide range of beers, nice outside drinking area and very busy on my recent visit. Probably the best pub we visited all day, although the only women seemed to be behind the bar. A good thing for some maybe?
21 Jul 2009 20:29
Lovely pub with good value food. Usually 4 cask ales on. Highly recommended
16 Jul 2009 23:35
Nice pub, lots of sports shown & evening entertainment. Some good outside drinking areas to the rear. 1 Very Well kept Thwaites cask on, and also draught Warsteiner. (say no more). Worth a visit

Original Farmers Arms, Eccleston
Good choice of ales, usually 5 on, mainly from small Northern Brewers. The pub has Regular offers on; Its 2quid for all cask ale the moment throughout july! Quality food served in both bar & restaurant, although some meals are on the pricey side. There seems to be a problem with flies in the bar area??
On the whole though, well worth a visit.

Deceiving in size & not far from the M2 Medway services if you take the service road. A decent choice of ales, but unfortunately not well kept. (I had to change my 1st pint). I found the food ok and reasonably priced. Large beer garden with a good play area for kids. Huge car park too. I feel this pub could do so much better though.

The Ma Boyles Oyster Bar, Liverpool
Nice little place hidden away not far from the Liverbirds & many hotels. Helpful staff, guest ale at 1.95 a pint & generous sized, well priced grub. Recommended

Stayed over in nearby Whyteleafe and saw this pub on way to my hotel. Liked the look so decided to back for my evening meal. Glad I did! 5.99 for a curry & pint, just what a man needs after a long days work. I tried the Pride which was ok, however my 2nd pint, Elgoods Double Swan was delicious. The pub was busy and the staff were very good.

Worth seeking out. Loads of ale on offer, excellent value food.

Called in for a scran at the weekend and was pleasantly surprised after my initial feelings. It was busy with locals and not many diners which made me a bit weary about ordering food. There was also a funny smell in the bar area? I noticed 6 real ales on though an proceeded. We sat in the restaurant part after ordering our food which was very quiet but cosy. (think its part of an old cottage)
The portions were huge & it really says something when my fiancee cleans her plate! The beer was very nice too from Moorhouses. Will be visiting again.

Good little pub, centrally located however you wouldn't think it. Good value food & well kept ale. Really small pool table though!!

Fantastic pub. Strongly recommend to stay over here if visiting the city
8 Jun 2009 22:14
I fell in love with Belgian beer here. Excellent range of Real Ale too. Cant wait to go back! Its been far too long.

Worked here 2003-2005; last visited 2007. Always had one handpump selling Kelham Island Pale Rider. Wide range of bottled lagers & extensive spirits/liquers for all the cocktails. Extremely busy on bank holidays!

The Hole int' Wall, Bowness on Windermere
Really enjoyed this pub. The stuffed animals are good to look at and you certainly won't get cold if sat by the roaring fires in the winter.

Was busy when I visited with a mixed crowd of drinkers which appeals to me. A good choice of ales & friendly locals. I noticed a lot of racing fans sat towards the back of the pub following there bets. Good atmosphere all round.
2 Jun 2009 22:23
Not impressed when I visited. Food was crap & the beer wasn't well kept. I think we were the 1st people in on a saturday dinner time but that's no excuse for poor quality food & drink.

I visited this pub on a saturday night after watching my team play at Fratton Park. I couldn't have asked for more. Really good music & some good real ales.
2 Jun 2009 22:15
Some fantastic offers on food. Usually 6 real ales on; Ive never had a bad pint here. Nice beer garden and plenty of parking.

My favourite pub in Chester. They serve the Manx beer, O'kells. Enjoyed the food too. Always visit when in Chester.

Fantastic choice of beer. Hand pulled cider on too! Love the big chair by the side entrance. I enjoyed the jukebox on my last visit during their recent beer fest.
1 Jun 2009 20:52
Great entertainment on when I visited. Friendly atmosphere with the walls dedicated to pop music from years gone by with murals. I had Thwaites 'Wainwright' when I visited and it was good. Bit of a star wars bar but that doesn't bother me. : )

Not the best W'spoons in the world. I'd avoid eating here. Good beer range though and good location for going on a sesh. Interesting pictures charting local history make for good reading if there's no breaking news on SSN.

Amazing choice of real ales & secluded outdoor drinking area. Bar staff are quality too.
31 May 2009 22:08
Good quality value food, could do with some more real ale choice. Regularly hosts good entertainment & drinks offers.
31 May 2009 21:52
Outstanding beer garden; the tables are well spread out and the garden itself is in immaculate condition. Inside there is a good choice of ales and lots of cosy corners.

The Hesketh Arms, Southport
Has become very popular again, and offers three real ales. I just wish they'd get Landlord back on! The drinks here are dearer than across the road at The Bold. Food is ok. Sitting outside on a summers evening getting drunk can be very nice.
