Ye Old Mitre, Holborn

I thought this was a great little find. You have to accept that tiny places serving great beer are going to be crowded although it did ebb and flow so that by about 7.30-8pm it was comfortable. Service was extremely fast regardless of crowds. I suppose you could call the staff "direct" but not rude. The landlord appears to have a good sense of humour and dislikes Wetherspoons pubs so that can only be good. Tried the toasted sandwiches, actually me and my two mates tried two each. I wouldn't call the choice of beers pedestrian, especially given the inclusion of Scottish beers for January. Deuchars IPA was on great form, best I've had outside of Edinburgh, but it's a personal favourite anyway. I think it is well worth seeking out and will do so again.

The Bull, Horton Kirby

Dropped in for a couple last Sunday having seen it in the 2009 Good Beer Guide. I can confirm it is absolutely deserving of its place in that publication. Dark Star beers on at the moment plus a few other guests. Tried the Hophead which was excellent as was the pint of Over the Moon I sampled. I didn't eat but the Sunday lunch looked good and you can order roast spuds on their own, brilliant! This is a quality establishment well worth a visit.
