Had pint of Whitstable. Awful. Tasted sour. Mentioned it to both bar maids and got told it was ok without them trying it. Walked out. Went to Tottenham. Much better. Shame

Now has 4 ales on. Butty Bach, Banks, Ironbridge Gold and Joules Slumbering Monk. Tried Ironbridge Gold and Joules Slumbering Monk. Both very good. Pub has been recommended for Good Beer Guide.

The Elephant And Castle, Dawley
Reopened a couple of weeks ago by John Ellis of the Crown, Oakengates. They had 6 shropshire beers (3 of which I tried and enjoyed). Apparently when the lounge is open there will be another 6 (different) shropshire ales. Function room is due to open shortly

Recently reopened after an expensive rennovation. 2 ales on, Green King IPA and Huntsman ale. Huntsman ale was nice (tasted very familiar). Didn't try the Greene King. Menu sounded nice

3 ales on. All decent. OK beer garden.
Food was ok except for SWMBO's chips which tasted reheated.

The Horse and Jockey, Ironbridge
2 ales on. EPA and Boolangna (sp), a blonde ale. Both nice.
Friendly staff.
We both had food. missus raved about the steak pie. The pork belly I had was disapointing, slices of pork, more like a roast than pork belly. The apricot stuffing was normal stuff with few small pieces of apricot.

Good pub serving 4 ales and decent dry white wine (according to the missus). Had pint of Cockerhoop and another Jennings beer. Very nice. Outside seating with sun (assuming it's sunny) all day.

Excellent pub. Normally has 4 ales on (Tribute permanently). Good food decently priced. Friendly staff.
Decent bands on every now and again. Beer festival upstairs in function room normally once a year. Cider festival in August. Recently had wine and cheese festival which was fun.

Pier Hotel, Ilfracombe
Popped in for lunch last week. Had a sarnie and a salad. Both nice. Nice seating area out the back. Bit of a suntrap. 3 beers from the Wizard brewery (it's their brewpub). Lundy Gold (4.1%) was very nice. Went back later for few more beers. Met the owner who gave me samples of the other 2 beers which were both nice. Dog friendly pub.
