Leaping Salmon, Berwick upon Tweed
visited 3 weeks ago on a thursday - staff not on top of their game with service provided- i.e. not interested in clearing tables, but had the Acorn Barnsley Gold - �1.59 you cannot complain at that price.

The Pilot Inn, Berwick upon Tweed
Friendly pub visited recently on holiday, 2 beers on when I was there, Deuchars and I had the Cairngorm Trade Winds which was decent.

despite massing this pub scores of times, made first visit 2 weeks ago. pleasantly surprised to see cumberland and adnams bitter on. onlt tried the adams, not impressed though. large pub on corner, nearest to rivington and 15-20 min walk from adlington railway.

Still consistently well kept beers and a well run pub. Had the TT Landlord last night at �2.42 a pint Tetleys on too as well as one or 2? others.

Visited today, first time in few years. Still a great place to base a walk around (Wayoh and Entwistle reservoirs). A selection of Cains now diminates. Had a pint of the famous old Pendle Witch (Moorhouses), but at �2.55 this is a luxury in price and at 5.1%. The small pool room at the back has had the table removed since the last time I was in, but it still has the small serving hatch.

Busy little pub. Visited on a Thursday evening, as often with this pub meant that there was a band on, making the venue intimate. Good selection of beers, had the Mooorhouses Pride of Pendle. An even smaller cellar open downstairs with a courtyard, half covered! Younger crowd downstairs.

Early evening visit 2 days ago. Had an excellent pint of Landlord. Quite a smart interior with screens showing Rugby League on my visit. Decent pool table. Good atmosphere.

Had the best bitter at �2 this week. Golden on too, but no Ram Tam. Big pub with Sky sports screens and a pool table (which plays very slow and needs re-covering). Nice picture on the wall showing Timothy Taylor and his descendents.

Excellent small pub. Visited this week - had the full range of TT beers on. Best bitter �2 was spot on as was the Golden. Guest was Ossett Brewery Excelsior and also had Westons scrumpy on draught. Landlady friendly. Big range of real ale related reading material.

The range of TT beers but didn't have the Ram Tam on 2 days ago, unless I missed it. �1.94 for a pint of Taylor's Dark Mild. Relaxing atmosphere with a reading corner. Guest beers on from Naylors and Phoenix with Scrumpy on draught too. Also a selection of bottled Belgian beers on.

Music loud enough to force you to shout to friends. Decent price for a pint of guinness. Only pub I've ever been to with a table full of dildos on it (I believe it was an Ann Summers party - yes in a pub).

In there recently on a Thursday evening, busy with all ages in. Karaoke on, 21st party etc. lively and harmless.

The Sir Ralph Abercrombie, Manchester
Not been in here for a couple of years but enjoyed long lunches and drinking the Cains, it was always spot on. Friendly landlord who was good at getting the Test Match on early doors.

Just as well known for it's food rather than drink, you can usually get a choice of ales in here. On the expensive side. Bar staff very attentive; had a pint of Boddies in there the other week.

Railway & Naturalist Inn, Prestwich
The map is wrong! The map shows it as being on Bury Old Rd.

Often admired the name of this pub in passing. Must give it a try one day.

Corbieres Wine Cavern, Manchester
Until recent visit, hadn't been in for several years. Hasn't changed much though from what I can see. The good news is that a very good pint of Pacific was had for �2. (Face from behind the bar ex-Kings Arms would explain this). Looks to have a very good affordable menu and I know from others that the food is respected.

Great favourite. Bar staff friendly, you always feel relaxed and welcomed here. Usually have about 6 beers on. I always seem to stick with the Tetleys though(always on), at around �2 a pint, can often be the only one less thab 4%.

The Briton's Protection Hotel, Castlefield
Recent visit reminded me what an individual pub this is and must be sought out on a pub crawl or visit to Manchester. The beer garden at the back is a great unknown, even to many time served Manchester drinkers (and recommended if summers arrives). Good choice of beers and other drinks. Had the Jennings at the end of a recent crawl.
