Another selection from the GBG’s “counties” to delight and infuriate you (“What ! No Broughton in Furness !“); five from me, one from you, please. Like Cornwall, I only really got to grips with Cumbria late in the charge to GBG glory. I’m sure I’ve missed out loads of picture postcard places in the Lakes,… Continue reading HALF A DOZEN PUBS IN EVERY COUNTY. No. 7 – CUMBRIA.

HALF A DOZEN PUBS IN EVERY COUNTY. No. 6 – CORNWALL.
Tonight’s half dozen comes from a county I only really got to grips with just before lockdown, so most of these pubs have been visited relatively recently. I won’t say these five pubs picked themselves, but there’s a common theme running through most of them you might spot. Falmouth – Seven Stars (last visited 2020)… Continue reading HALF A DOZEN PUBS IN EVERY COUNTY. No. 6 – CORNWALL.
HALF A DOZEN PUBS IN EVERY COUNTY. No. 5 – CHESHIRE
A late Christmas present for Pub Curmudgeon, who will be chomping at the bit to critique my five for Cheshire (“Wot no Frodsham !”), but at least there’s no gastro horrors. He’ll agree with this first one. Macclesfield – Jolly Sailor (last visited 2023) In fact, I was highly tempted to steal Mudgie’s wonderful pic… Continue reading HALF A DOZEN PUBS IN EVERY COUNTY. No. 5 – CHESHIRE
HALF A DOZEN PUBS IN EVERY COUNTY – No. 4 – CAMBRIDGESHIRE
Well, this will be a controversial one. Five pubs in my home county, and one for you to pick. There’s a problem with Cambridgeshire. It’s called Cambridge. I could pick half a dozen pubs in the county town on a mile from the station. But I only get one pick, and it’s the obvious one.… Continue reading HALF A DOZEN PUBS IN EVERY COUNTY – No. 4 – CAMBRIDGESHIRE
HALF A DOZEN PUBS FROM EVERY COUNTY. No. 3 – BUCKINGHAMSHIRE
Let’s return to my festive series highlighting the pick of the pubs in each Beer Guide chapter, inviting you to make up the round half dozen. One immediate surprise; picking five (let alone 6) must visits in a county is tougher than you’d think. Obviously when we get to Sheffield there’ll be six within half… Continue reading HALF A DOZEN PUBS FROM EVERY COUNTY. No. 3 – BUCKINGHAMSHIRE
HALF A DOZEN PUBS FROM EVERY COUNTY. No. 2 – BERKSHIRE.
Happy Retired Martin Day (22/12), to those of you who celebrate. Back to my county-by-county trawl through UK pubs, and our second county alphabetically in the traditional GBG (the one I did), dispatched to an unfindable page since 2023. Five picks from me in Berkshire, you choose the sixth. A solid drinking county, with the… Continue reading HALF A DOZEN PUBS FROM EVERY COUNTY. No. 2 – BERKSHIRE.
HALF A DOZEN PUBS FROM EVERY COUNTY. No.1 – BEDFORDSHIRE
As I’m almost caught up with the blog now, and no idea where I’ll be tomorrow on my birthday, I’m starting a series listing my Top half dozen pubs in each Beer Guide county. It’s a bit hit-and-miss, as some of these will have been visited last month, some before Mary Earps was born. No,… Continue reading HALF A DOZEN PUBS FROM EVERY COUNTY. No.1 – BEDFORDSHIRE
