Many moons ago, The French Horn, Pewsey (lock ins aplenty)
Used to work just up the road from the French Horn. Many a lunchtime pint, meal & Christmas do in there in the 90's. The longstanding couple that ran the place packed it in I think. Of the temp landlords after that one were the most unassuming & harmless elderly couple imaginable, but delivered such a ferocious chilli con carne that the memory of which brings tears to the eyes even now. |

Charters - Peterborough. Good selection of real Ales & walking distance to London Road when we play them again.
Greyhound - Bromham, really good for food, and the only pub left in the village where I grew up.
For foodies, the Blue Bell at Glinton, really nice for food and has guest beers
Love Charters, great setting and a must do prior to any visit to London Road. |

The Sheffield Tap, Platform One, Sheffield Train Station
Aye, any of the "Tap" type pubs within or just outside stations are well worth a visit. Doncaster, Harrogate, York & Manchester Piccadilly are all good. |

Dave Peeley ran it when I used to frequent but that was the mid 70s. |

The Soho Inn, Studley (a lot of good memories from there). Now called the Black Dog Inn. Reminded me of the Slaughtered Lamb back in the day  Glue Pot - Saturday diversion before a game. Beehive, Glue Pot & Drink Valley are a good mini pub crawl before a home game. Difficult to miss Flash with the hat. Will say hello one day. |

Went to Gloucester City v South Shields last week ( a Geordie walking footballer mate in Stroud has a few shares in South Shields) and we had a session in the Pelican behind the cathedral. Old school with a log fire. Going back.

The Tom Cobley at Crediton in Devon, is probably THE best pub anywhere, CAMRA pub of the year a few times and great food and brilliant beer with 5 real ales on every day.
2nd to that is the Hop Inn in Old Town, superb.
