Busy with drinkers, diners and their dogs, spilling out onto the pavement in front. The imitation panelling has been replaced by wallpaper. Great friendly atmosphere today. Sat, 03 Oct 2026 18:16:30 +0100 http://www.pubsandbeer.co.uk/index.php?ID=P&pub=6338&v=74090 Visited by Andrew on the 12 Sep 2026. Came for Andy's birthday. We sat under the Fremlins window and drank quite a few pints. Great pub, and a great evening.

It had been but apparently the barrel had exploded so it wasn't on any more. I swiftly had a pint of something else, and left.

Friday evening, and Ramsay’s van was already frying in the square, so only time for a quick pint. Busy as ever. Good pub.

Fourth and final visit of the outing: Busy for my mid-evening finale drink of the outing but a table found to share with fellow real ale drinkers and good banter followed. Only some 10 minutes from St Albans City rail station and with five real ales on, and matching the number in The Mermaid, just vacated from, this was indeed a very satisfying last visit to St Albans. Prompt attentive service and was even offered the option of the CAMRA discount being applied. Sat, 03 Oct 2026 01:44:31 +0100 http://www.pubsandbeer.co.uk/index.php?ID=P&pub=9378&v=74082 Visited by Philip Pirrip on the 01 Oct 2026.

Fri, 02 Oct 2026 12:38:59 +0100 http://www.pubsandbeer.co.uk/index.php?ID=P&pub=8917&v=74076 Visited by Jack William on the 01 Oct 2026. Second two Maida Vale heritage pubs. Another stunner architecturally with many unusual features. The tiled, columned archway entrance and the art deco mural above the main bar servery area were particularly memorable. Unfortunately beer choice not good as the pub is being shut at weekend for a few months for maintenances/refurb. Hopefully the many unique features will be retained. Fri, 02 Oct 2026 10:30:50 +0100 http://www.pubsandbeer.co.uk/index.php?ID=P&pub=5732&v=74075 Visited by Jack William on the 01 Oct 2026. My first of two Maida Vale heritage pubs. The interior of this pub is stunning and I could have spent much more time looking at the details. It also has a cellar area consisted of 4 cell-like alcoves with bare-brick vaulted ceilings - all done out in the best possible taste. The LAVATORIES (sic) are also on this level. Had to move on due to time (and influenced a bit by the £7.25 price tag for Landlord). Fri, 02 Oct 2026 10:23:16 +0100 http://www.pubsandbeer.co.uk/index.php?ID=P&pub=9601&v=74074 Visited by Jack William on the 01 Oct 2026. Lunchtime. A group of oldies in the bar, an even bigger group of us old cyclists in the garden. Happy for us to bring pizzas in. Beers in top condition. Great session.

Third visit of the outing: Good footfall after our departure from the St Albans Beer Festival just some 5 minutes away and for our party of five’s early evening arrival. Pleasingly, they do thirds and with an impressive five real ales on. Attentive, friendly service and seating for all of us to be had in this locally listed for historical interest, old-fashioned pub adorned with old mirrors and pub signs and boasting a recently-enlarged and partly-covered garden at its rear. Sat, 03 Oct 2026 01:44:08 +0100 http://www.pubsandbeer.co.uk/index.php?ID=P&pub=566&v=74081 Visited by Hogan Sampling on the 26 Sep 2026. First visit of the outing: Ticking over with mainly diners in evidence in this sprawling ancient 17th-century pub in the village of St Michael’s and about a 15-minute walk from the centre of St Albans and can be approached through Abbey grounds and the Verulamium Park, with its lake, Verulamium Museum and the Roman Theatre. Prompt, attentive service and plenty of seating to choose from. An impressive 5 five real ales on: Tring’s Ridgeway, the pub’s house beer labelled St Michael’s Pale as brewed by the Vale Brewery, Timothy Taylor’s Landlord, Oakham JHB and Hog Back’s Tongham Tea.

Thu, 01 Oct 2026 14:34:06 +0100 http://www.pubsandbeer.co.uk/index.php?ID=P&pub=7584&v=74071 Visited by Hogan Sampling on the 26 Sep 2026. Second visit of the outing: The last day of this four-day annual beer and cider festival and positively buzzing. A sizeable queue formed behind me shortly after my arrival just after 2pm. I was lucky with my timing not to have been queuing for long. I met up with some fellow local CAMRA members from south-east London who were seated on the outside terrace upstairs. The place is not disabled-friendly with this late 1960s theatre venue without a lift to its name and one disabled toilet on the ground floor but at least quite logically placed. I had come with a pre-marked list of the ales I wished to supp including bitters, milds, a brown or two, and stouts and porters. About half on my list of some 18 were still on I was pleased to discover. If you find the stairs on the ground floor to their main bar on the stage too much to manage, you can by all accounts ask a CAMRA volunteer to fetch your beer for you. Thanks must go to the volunteers for keeping up with serving the sheer numbers at the festival and it was very young people-dominated on this Saturday visit and so perhaps an increase in CAMRA’s membership was comfortably achieved.

A shop with a bar in it selling clothing, beer glasses and a wide selection of bottled and canned beers.

Mid to late evening in this friendly welcoming cosy dimly lit modern but not garish bar located in an area mostly populated by back street locals restaurants. We sat at the bar and engaged with the knowledgeable barman and the odd beer tourist or two, like us!

Friendly and welcoming tiny pub with a couple of tables inside to comfortably accommodate around 8 folk, many more seats outside all occupied so we opted for in.

Fifth visit of the outing: My first ever visit to this, one of Thanet’s first micropubs and the inspiration behind the now demised micropub and brewhouse, the Four Candles in Broadstairs. This micropub now only shuts on Tuesdays since new management took over in the last 6 months by all accounts. A warm welcome for our early evening visit and seating to be had both inside and out on this clement day despite it being very petite on the inside.

Early afternoon and busy with many folk at the outside garden area by the entrance given the warm sunny weather. Impressive building in a wealthy opulent area, pity about the unexciting beer range.

First visit of the outing: A busy gathering for my arrival shortly after mid-day and following my walk across the fields from Ramsgate train station and in time for the tapping of the barrel performed by the head brewer and founder of Gadds, Eddie Gadd, at 12.30pm. I joined the green hop queue shortly after its initial length had reduced and so was quickly served. Conveniently, the ceremonial cask barrel had two pouring-taps attached to it for Eddie and his colleague to maximise the green hop ale's dispensing. Their main bar was serving five real ales in the run-up to the first green hop of the season being served and there was the brewery’s own brand of a band, the Gaddzukes, also busy wetting their own whistles before performing their numbers into the afternoon. I met up with the chairman of the local Thanet branch of CAMRA at the gathering and spotted many a familiar face in attendance.

Saturday lunchtime - midway point (and pint) on a loop walk from Bridge. Only one other family group in and the landlady told us she was leaving in a couple of weeks. Sheps have found new rookie tenants apparently. “Good luck to them” she said. Sun, 20 Sep 2026 07:37:36 +0100 http://www.pubsandbeer.co.uk/index.php?ID=P&pub=281&v=73990
