The Crown and Cushion, Blackwater

Really like this pub. The food is excellent, the Guinness is very good and the venue is really atmospheric and cosy. The perfect spot to "waste" an afternoon reading the papers and catching up with friends on a miserable winter's day, and I am looking forward to the summer as it has brilliant outdoor areas where I hope to do more of the same. Interesting seeing the mean comments about the landlady - what is wrong with people? Pubs are about character and 'real' people as opposed to the saccharine fake smiles you get in the chain pubs/bars. It is her pub, her choice of decor, her choice in menu, her direction as to the condition fo the beer - if you want to know what she is really like, look at her pub!
