The Castle Inn, St Ives

I meant to post this earlier as the long term landlady confirmed to me last year that the pub wasn’t for sale at all & I’m pleased to say is still the best pub in St. Ives. Great choice of changing beers & ciders, some from the barrel, & v. friendly staff. Dog friendly as ever & if they’re good, might well get a biscuit.

Three Tuns, Henley-on-Thames

The pub now has new owners who actually enjoy serving customers! I can’t disagree with the comments about the previous management as service has been less than enthusiastic in the past but had a couple of excellent pints last Saturday & both house red & white got the thumbs up from both wife & mother-in-law. Lunch was very good too, all three dishes were excellent & as all 3 of us cook & are foodies, the bar is set fairly high. Also very dog friendly in the front bar & our boy loved the attention from customers & staff alike. Will certainly return more frequently now.

The Red Lion, Henley-on-Thames

Went in a couple off weeks ago & good as ever. Beer always in good nick & locals very friendly tho' having a dog always seems to help! Like MinsterWinst, only tried here a few years ago for the 1st time as The Dog had shut down & the new couple that welcomed us have been running a pretty tight ship ever since.
