Captain Digby, Broadstairs

Having just enjoyed a fine lunchtime pint of Doom Bar at this quirky pub, I thought I would come on here and give the place a plug. The Captain Digby looks like a little castle perched on the cliffs just north of Broadstairs. The view from the beer garden is simply superb, the food perfectly acceptable and the staff were all exceptionally friendly. Plus there were four ales on which is more than I was expecting. I would definitely recommend this pub to anyone in the area.

Board and Elbow, Penrith

Popped into the Board & Elbow for a lunchtime pint whilst on holiday. Barman was friendly enough but music far too loud (we counted eight speakers in one room alone!) and interior decor very dated. Probably more of a youngsters' night spot. With a bit of investment this old pub could be really nice as it's in a prime location in the town. One day maybe.

George Hotel, Orton

We recently spent a week in lovely Orton and became regulars at The George. Although the sparse interior lacks that country pub ambience, the beer (always several ales on tap) and food were both good. Reasonably priced too.
