Drovers Inn, East Linton

Unfortunately, since my last posting, the pub has changed hands (in the late winter months). It has, alas, gone downhill now that the new owners have taken over. A real pity. No longer 'one of the best pubs in Scotland'.

The Bowl Inn, Charing

Apologies for my last posting, the landlord and landlady's names are, infact, Alan and Sue. Not 'Bob and Sue'. Doh !

Apologies to you Alan, purveyor of fine ales.

The Malt Shovel, Beeston

The pub is located down a side street, just off of Beeston High Street. It has evidently recently been refurbished, and has been done out in a minimalist style with a bohemian feel to it, with a lot of mirrors included in the decoration. The pub serves a wide range of ales from the Nottingham Brewery, with Rock Mild and Oat Stout being my personal favourity.

It is a very comfortable and easy-going atmosphere, with a very private and 'hidden-away' feel about it. Just the place to relax on an afternoon, or in an evening, to drink fine ales and eat well prepared and tasty pub grub. I highly recommend this excellent establishment.
