The Wenlock Arms, Hoxton

had a wonderful meal here last night, pan fried sword fish served on a bed or puy lentils with a rocket and parmasan salad, washed down with a splendid bottle of chilean malbec.
No hang on a minute that was the night before, somewhere else, last night i drank 12 pints of strong ale, fell asleep in the corner and woke op on a night bus around 3 am somewhere near acton.
Needless to say I will be returning to this wonderous drinking establishment... Tonight.

The Flask, Hampstead

okay its clearly a chain pub but i still like it. think the refurb is an improvement, its a really lovely pub with nice features, a half decent beer selection, primarily youngs ales i seem to remember. hampstead has a reasonable selection of pubs all quite different to suit different moods, i'm not often in the mood for uniformed bar staff and pre-printed menus but somehow this place keeps pulling me back.

The Lion, Stoke Newington

Cracking little pub, really friendly, down to earth, cosy, good selection of beers and some well kept ales. No idea what the food is like but its a really great place to settle in for an evening. The sort of place you could happily take your girlfriend or a group of mates.
