Pubs Near me

During the last 10 year there has been an unprecendented number of pub closures. However, there are still over 30,000 pubs open and serving locals whether in cities or rural countryside. Country pubs are a little trickier to commute to daily so the concept of popping down to your local is different. The closure of so many pubs obvioulsy is no shock then, that finding a pub that is open near you becomes a chore, unless you live in a big city where the choice of pubs is just the same as not knowing which bar of chocolate to choose from ...

Do 27M pints equal £27M profits

It's always easy to drift into a trance when enjoying a pint of London Pride. The Fullers Brewery's flag ship pint. Last year during the UK recession (the worst since the 1930's) Fullers turned misery into profit, the question is how did they do this? Some would argue location, location, location. London after all is a busy place with over 6 million people flowing through it's network of roads and train lines, and pavements too. Fuller not only made profits last they also made prime London property acquisitions totally £51M, this was for three pubs in prime London locations. Does this demonstrate ...

Spitfire Real Ale for high Flyers

It's all in the name or is that Neame Shepherd Neame. The legend has it that those that drank spitfire real ale were pilots fighting against the Germans during the 2nd world war. It's claimed that pilots of the world famous plane would take to the skies with 2 barrels of beer from Shepherd Neame drink the entire contents of beer and proceed to fill the barrel with gun power. The refilled beer barrels would then be dropped on enemy targets. The pilots would then fly back home to refill with fresh beer. This of course is a story of legends and with ...

St Austell reaches pubs other beers don’t

Shepherds Bush of all places hosts a number of proper pubs that make you feel like you're in a cool bar but none the less a real pub. Walking into The Defectors in London's Shepherds Bush you will find a pleasant long bar home to several real ales including the famous Tribute by the equally famous St Austell brewery. It's not that St Austell is exclusive to Cornwall but to find it in London can be a challenge, why so? Because London pubs are usually one of the 4 big group tied houses. The freehouses that can decide which beer flows do also ...

London Pub

Help me find a decent London pub, please. Pub after pub in London delivers the same experience, what has happened to my local pub, my local pub used to be full of faces we knew and now it's just a tourist attraction. After visiting a few more pubs local to us we discovered that there was a pattern emerging. What was once a traditional London pub is now a themed tourist attraction in the disguise of a pub. It's early days and we're not giving up any hope of finding a new local pub despite so many closing down. The ones that open ...

Local Pubs closed Whitbread Pubs Open

The new breed of pub was developed over 15 years ago. The recognised change in the way pubs changed was by assassination of character. The traditional pub landlord was replaced by management teams. To put this into context the survival of any business means an organised structure to business. A planned timetable of offers and services. A very good example of success is the Wetherspoon chain. Consistent products and services at affordable prices. One thing you would never be able to do and that is call a Wetherspoon a traditional pub, they are run by managers on shifts, there is no ...

Black Country West Midlands Pubs

The black country and West Midlands tends to get over looked as a place of natural beauty, all the more surprising when it is home to one of Europe's largest networks of canals. Nestled amongst the natural landscape and the canals are several very popular pubs. Most notably the hidden treasure The Salt Wells Inns, it's sister pub the Black Lion is equally off the beaten track. Nestled snuggly in the heart of Churnet Valley lies the Black Lion Pub, a fine example of Staffordshire tradition, a real delight to discover. When sat in the Beer Garden of this wonderful pub you really ...

Pubs and Bars London – The right Party Venue

20 years ago London's pubs and bars were slightly different to how they are now. Yes, they have always been places for celebrations abut not how we party today. London pubs haven't always been party bars. How are they different is only relative to the time. Talking of time, the time out guide to London's top 50 bars is not as reliable as some of the most comments made, an important point refers to this opening statement. Nothing stays the same in London for too long and this applies more to London pubs and bars than anything else. London pubs and ...
