Another Division Bell pub within spitting distance of the Houses of Parliament which was a bit too busy at about 6.30pm to go ferreting about trying to find it, the bell that […]
St Stephen’s Tavern, Westminster
The Red Lion, Westminster
With it’s magnificent floral display and the turn of the century listed interior I should have really liked this place. I’m not sure whether it was the £5.50 for a pint of […]
A Day in the Life of an Activist; CAMRA Mass Lobby Day 2018
I’ve never considered myself as an activist, outspoken maybe, ‘say it as it is’ definitely, but not an activist, not a political lobbyist. Not until I enlisted to take part in the […]

Cuthbert Brodrick, Leeds
I quite like the Cuthbert B, although I went off it after a succession of poor pints a while back. Not so now, because current manager Mark Rinder is making a real […]
The Dragon, Worcester – a Church End Brewery pub

The Lamb & Flag, Worcester
Some might think I’m really stringing out this ‘Proper Day Out’ in Worcester. Retired Martin knocked it off in a few days and Pubcurmudgeon succinctly accounted for it in two posts? By […]

Firefly, Worcester
If this had been once been a pub then it would have been a travesty. On the other hand, if the place had been something else before then they’ve done a pretty […]
Nomadic Beer’s Unopen tap room, Green hopped beers and other things
This is where we hired that van from, wasn’t it? Yeah. It’s round the back of it somewhere. Actually Nomadic Brewery’s new premises are down the side of the Enterprise Car Rental […]
