The Land of Liberty, Peace and Plenty, Heronsgate
Spent a rather pleasant afternoon there (24/3). Harvest Pale was most excellent. Picked up a load of free CAMBRA literature. Looking forward to my next visit. Nice pub, like it a lot. Owner (?) may like to just be a tad more welcoming and friendly. Nonetheless, GREAT

God help you poor peeps unfortunate to live in South London:
I received a very nice phone call this afternoon from the rather delicious Bev M to say that she has hung up her dusters (metaphorically speaking of course) and bought a pub. She is now the landlady of "The Prince Albert" in Old Mill Road, Plumstead (MAP), just 200 yards from Dave's Camelot Castle. Very handy! Bev says that all DC fans are welcome and I shall most certainly be having a beer or three in there this weekend and - if I can keep the lens from steaming up - I may well take some more photos of Bev's amazing tattoos.
From the pseudo crim himself. AKA DC

The Red Lion Hotel, Hillingdon
Heard back from Fullers. They are "looking into the situation" LOL.
Visited a number of times since. Not getting any better. �6.50 for a large G&T!! Staff still young and naive and heating unbelievably hot! Sometimes when it�s not cold outside. Beginning to look like it now needs a refurb. Draught beer continues to be good and, at their prices, it jolly well should do. And what�s with that single sole CD they play morning, noon & night?

Visited 20/1/06. Lots of staff around, mingling, but all disappeared when I went to order a drink. Waited 7 minutes to be served. I DO NOT EXPECT either to be asked if I would like a glass, when ordering Golden Pride - nor did I expect it to be refrigerated. Young naive bar staff of the ignorant impression ..."It is like Budweiser" LOL!! Stayed for 3 more drinks, with friends, no glasses from ANY table were collected during the 3 hours we were there - NOR were any ash trays removed or cleaned. At each and every visit to the bar, no staff was there and a wait of at least 4 minutes for them to appear ensued.
Expensive and staffed by poor quality youngsters. Used to really love this place, when it was a pub. Now it is simply a massively overpriced hotel masquerading as a quality establishment. I have a made a formal complaint to Fullers - THEY HAVE AN AWFUL LONG WAY TO GO.....

Words fail me on this one! Probabaly the worst and most expensive pub I have ever visited. Total inability to keep and look after their two real ales. Run for kids, by kids. A simply appalling place.

The Master Brewer Hotel, Hillingdon
The finest beer (London Pride & ESB) this side of the Chiswick brewery. Sad old place BUT beer to die for.
