Recommend a pub

I love it when I see a dog in a pub!  At another pub I like in Camden, the Old Eagle, there is a really friendly dog that is often there with one of the regulars.

I also know a pub where the bar staff live in flats above the pub, with their collective dog, who is occasionally seen wandering around behind the bar.

Me too!  I love the pubs with the old men telling stories over there beers and a big dog in the corner. It's one of my favourite things about England. 

Stag and Hounds in Banwell is one of my faves.

And the Priddy Arms in Priddy.

The Langstrath, Stonethwaite, Cumbria (http://www.thelangstrath.com/) just the place after a long walk.

internet addict, I think you should organise a UK Yankee-in-York pub crawl-event for this spring or summer at some point!

 

I 2nd or 3rd that - I would sooo be there!!

I really only like pubs by the sea. My fave in Pembrokeshire was Cresselly Arms in Cresswell Quay. Such a lovely spot on the estuary. And, up until a couple of years ago, they sold second-hand books on big tables outside in the summer. They still sell fruit and veg outside.

In Cornwall, I like The Ship Inn in Porthleven. It's a real old fishermen's type pub perched high on the cliffs looking over the sea. I also like the Pandora Inn, near Falmouth, though it's very popular and gets really busy in the summer.

I am also in York, and I'd have to agree that the Mason's Arms is definitely the best for food. My boyfriend and I are partial to Samuel Smith's pubs, though, so I'd have to recommend the King's Arms and the Seahorse Inn. Our local is the Brown Cow, but everyone says it's "rough." Our favorite non-Sammy's pub is probably the Rook and Gaskill.

OMG... I haven't been to the Rook in years. 

We live by the Uni, so we usually drink (and I use the term drink loosely) at the Derry unless we are going into town.  And then dh isn't much of a Sam Smith's fan so we're often at the Wonky Donkey aka Three Legged Mare or sometimes the Terrier.  The students all still seem to love Lendal Cellars, which is cool because it's the old wine cellar of the monks, or so the legend goes.

Yeah yeah, you can't kid a kidder! 

The Salisbury on Green Lanes is a great pub - best sausage and mash in London 2009. The pub quiz used to be really good but the Scottish guy left and now it's got quite a bit worse - but beers are still nice and the atmosphere is amazing. It's a basically intact Victorian pub. It was very grubby about 6-7 years ago, but they re-did it and this great Welsh guy bought the pub. Been great ever since.

The Crown near Liverpool Street is pretty good too - round the corner from the church on Cloudesley Square. It's a perfect summer pub, on a quiet residential street and a nice little outside section, perfect for a pint, a book and a cheeky smoke. Great beers too - and excellent pub food, probably the best all-round I've had (expensive though).

The Grand Union over the bridge from Westbourne Park tube is good too - they have another nice section right on the canal, as well as a good selection of beers and pretty good food. It's a bit out of the way though, it's out along the westway.

I know that pub - it's my BIL's & SIL's local. 

The Robinhood  located near Blue Bell Hill Village in Kent. Great food!!
