Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur

A fine pint, 2.60, kept lacing and didn't have to ask for top up after I gave a stern look. Jack Williams, ot was good, not outstanding but well worth it, I guess
Byatt's - Regal Blond

Strange brew from Coventry

Another unusual taste from Coventry. Great lacing but an acquired taste, yet again.

Less cavernous than most spoons, large but still with a real pub feel.

1930 visit. Departed the nearby beer festival, which can be found at the end of Hurst Street) and was told about this JD. Having visited all the others near the City. this one has escaped me since it was fitted out in October 2007. An ex O'Neill's pub, I was told and in the typical JD style. Not bad at all. It sits next door to the gbg Old Fox, directly opposite the old Hippodrome Theatre development. With a train to catch, only time for a swift half today?
