There’s some great pubs called The Sun. For a start, there’s my old local in Waterbeach, and the banked Bass stronghold in Stockton-on-Tees, and the fake boozer in Beamish wasn’t bad, either. Titanic’s foray into Stafford isn’t quite a great pub, but it starred last Thursday. Titanic, Joules, and Black Country brought some freshness to… Continue reading TITANIC

GUESS THE PUB GOES WEST…
….life is peaceful there, in the open air etc etc. Mudgie know the lyrics. Plenty of open air round our mystery pub. which isn’t actually accessible by one of the town’s famous train lines, though the mobility scooter might still be running. One clue for the town, one for the suburb. I know Russ loves… Continue reading GUESS THE PUB GOES WEST…
ASKED FOR TASTING NOTES IN REDHILL SPOONS
As you’ve asked (you really haven’t) here’s the pics from my inadvisable 20 minutes trip to the Spoons in Redhill. 20 minutes isn’t much, but it was long enough to get from the station, barging past 417 schoolchildren to the Sun, order a pint and chicken dippers, and still get back for the train to… Continue reading ASKED FOR TASTING NOTES IN REDHILL SPOONS
THE SUN, PICKERING
I could have lumped this one in with Cropton, but I reckon the Sun deserves some attention of it’s own. A definite Top 100 pub contender. It was certainly the highlight of a quick walk round Pickering, a town that suffers from the A170 steaming through it. The High Street was set back, but scarcely more… Continue reading THE SUN, PICKERING
NO ROOM FOR SENTIMENT IN HEREFORDSHIRE
As Pub Curmudgeon can attest, the Welsh Marches is one of the most attractive areas, anywhere. You can define the Marches how you like; I’m sure some Londoners think it means Hay and Ludlow. The stretch between Bishops Castle and Hereford is one of my personal favourites, and it takes in Leintwardine, as unpronounceable now as on my… Continue reading NO ROOM FOR SENTIMENT IN HEREFORDSHIRE
WATERBEACH SUN’S BEER FESTIVAL
It’s a rare day I stay at home, but I promised Mrs RM I’d go with her to our local pub’s Beer Festival, just to be unusually sociable. The Sun is the drinkers pub in a village of about 5,000, recently reduced by the closure of the RAF base. It’s the first pub I went… Continue reading WATERBEACH SUN’S BEER FESTIVAL
SACRILEGE AT STOCKTON’S SUN
We’ve just experienced the revitalised Stockton-On-Tees, and a wonderful thing it is too. The revitalisation of a town famous for car chase TV and debauchery documentaries is now back to its Georgian best, with the bonus of street art, coffee shops and micropubs. The culinary scene remains the chicken parmo though. For me though, the… Continue reading SACRILEGE AT STOCKTON’S SUN
