Report

Oswestry Pubs : The Bear Hotel pub in Oswestry

'A traditional Victorian pub with basic, but reasonably-priced accommodation, the Commercial was, for a few years, known as 'The Half Crown', although it has latterly reverted to its original name.

'A small, local pub, serving real ale and attracting grown-up real ale drinkers rather than lager boys.'

Report

Bournemouth Pubs : The Shamrock Bar pub in Bournemouth

Report

Penzance Pubs : The Admiral Benbow pub in Penzance
'This pub is geared very much towards the summer tourist market, but its nautical-themed unterior is, nevertheless, very well done - the restaurant being a mock-up of the stern cabin of a Nelsonic man-of-war! '
Report

Witney Pubs : The Plough pub in Witney
'The best part of the Plough is perhaps its attractive beer garden, which runs down to the River Windrush at the rear of the pub. The bar area is quite small, and obstructed by a large chimney breast, but the pub is always worth a visit.'
Report

Witney Pubs : The Chequers Inn pub in Witney
'Something of a 'sports bar' atmosphere at times, and tends to attract younger drinkers.'

Report

Report

'Has traditionally been a real ale pub with food available, but is said to be up for sale. (?)'
Report

Witney Pubs : The Court Inn pub in Witney

Report

Witney Pubs : The Robin Hood pub in Witney
'Something of the 'estate pub' feel about the Robin Hood, which is now a 1930s style pub, although the original building is apparently still extant beside the present structure; a bit of a trek to reach this pub from the town centre.'
Report

St Martins Pubs : The Cross Keys pub in St Martins near Oswestry
'A pleasant enough rural inn, with a cosy fire in the winter months. John Strange, one of the founders of Lancaster CAMRA, is buried on the nearby church yard, this small village being his childhood home.'

Report

Falmouth Pubs : The Seaview Inn pub in Falmouth

'A small, local pub, offering real ales such as Ringwood and Hop Back. Would probably please CAMRA types.'

Report

Bristol Pubs : The Reckless Engineer pub in Bristol

Salisbury Pubs : Anchor & Hope pub in Salisbury

Report

Salisbury Pubs : The Village pub in Salisbury

Report

Witney Pubs : Izi pub in Witney
'Situated in a hideous slab-sided building that has disfigured the town centre since the 1960s, this is a sort of wine bar/pub/cafe by day, and a night club in the evenings. Such a place is surely out-of-place in a Cotswold market town.'
Report

Woodstock Pubs : The Bear Hotel pub in Woodstock

Salisbury Pubs : The Victoria Hotel pub in Salisbury
'This is one of those curiously-named establishments which style themselves "hotels" but are, in reality, back-street, spit-and-sawdust working class boozers. If you like yobs, baseball caps, clouds of fag smoke and the omnipresent F-word, this will be your ideal pub.'
Report
