The Boston Arms, Tufnell Park

I like this place, I have been many times, but only at lunchtimes, it's frequented by a lot of retired Irish workers.
The beer is �2 a pint and the large delicious rolls are only a �1.
The owner puts on free Christmas lunch for the regulars.
I suspect the poor reviews are from occasional visitors who sit in the corner moaning whilst supping the cheap beer.
Check out bag man, who is there nearly every day.
These types of places are disappearing fast, only to be replaced by pubs that are too expensive and lack character.

The Cock and Rabbit, Great Missenden

All four of us all felt bad vibes with this pub.
We got no greeting whatsoever, no friendliness there at all.
Toilets were filthy, pub dirty, glasses dirty.
We certainly didn't want to eat there, we just wanted to get out of the place.
It was such a shame because the village is lovely.
It needs a lot of tlc.
