The Hare and Hounds Inn, Appleby in Westmorland
Very pleasant. Friendly welcome. Nice brew. Would definitely visit again.

The Rambler Country House, Edale
A decent pint and a reasonable lunch. But we were gobsmacked when one of our party was refused an extra roll to go with his soup. "Pay for a bead-basket or lump it".

The landlord is a man of few words, but he pulls a pleasant pint.

The St Saviour�s Tavern, St Saviours
It's gone! Closed down 8/9/07. Shame! They say it will be rebuilt ...but time will tell.

Lovely pint of Old Speckled Hen, tasty meal and not expensive. No sign of the ghost.

Can't vouch for the beer, but had a tasty bar lunch January 07 served by very pleasant staff.

Only been once, but the steak and ale pie was fan-tastic.

This talk of agism is rubbish. Good lot of beers on tap. Super menu, but don't go unless you are REALLY hungry.

Delightful place with extremely comprehensive menu - but it can get busy. Definitely one Jack and I would go back to.

Nice old pub looking out over Guernsey's East coast. Sadly, owners have just announced their intention to close it.

We had Sunday roast here. Fantastic! The beef was sliced as thick as your hand and the perfectly cooked spuds were as big as cannon balls.

The Mermaid Tavern, Herm Island
This is a gem of a pub on a paradise island. The interior remains cosy and traditional, while the courtyard outside accommodates the crowds who flock here (via ferry from Guernsey) on fine summer days. A definite favourite of Mikeandjack. Try it! (But don't fall in the harbour on your way home)

The Bankers Draught, St Peter Port
Now reverted to its previous name "The White Hart". Pleasant,
lively Town pub.

The Dorset Arms, St Peter Port
Very pleasant pub on the outskirts of Town, a stone's throw from Victor Hugo's House. Est-ce-que l'homme c�l�bre a but ici?

Planning application is in for conversion to funeral parlour.

Not the most inspiring of public house architecture. Perhaps the interior makes up for it.

With refurbishment has come a new name "Oliver's". It's just not the same.

Get the Ferry from Guernsey to Maseline Harbour, take the hike up Harbour Hill, jump on your hired bike then ten minutes furious pedalling to Stocks for that first pint - bliss.

On Guernsey's north coast, right next to an interesting WW2 German bunker, and overlooking Grand Havre Bay. Terrific location, terrific grub.

Very pleasant. Public and lounge bars, really good food.

The St Saviour�s Tavern, St Saviours
The decor is definitely tired, but at least the place survives. Owners want to demolish and redevelop the site, but petitions and appeals from locals seem so far to have kept the demolition men at bay. Sample its fare before it's too late!

This pub is located to the south of St Sampsons Harbour. A few photos on the wall along with the odd relic do little to persuade that you are in an "Irish" pub. Maybe it should have stuck to its original name, "English and Guernsey Arms". But it can deliver a decent pint along with a cheap and cheerful lunch.

Probably Guernsey's most popular out-of-town pub. Local beers on tap, second-to-none bar lunches and delightful views over Cobo Bay. Spectacular in winter, when from the comfort of the front bar you can watch Atlantic breakers pounding the sea wall, just across the road.

Plenty of brews to sample. 'Gents' could do with an upgrade.

Very busy when we called, but despite this the service was excellent. A nice pint and no complaints about the menu. Definitely one we'd go back to.

L'Eree Hotel, St Pierre du Bois
Once a quaint little fisherman's bar, expansion and "upgrades" have removed much of its character. Still serves a nice pint and does a decent bar meal. Handy for the beach, a two minute walk away.

A stone's throw from the sea with superb views over Rocquaine Bay and Lihou Island. Front bar and restaurant if you're a bit smart, round the back if you're in your fishing gear. One of the few places left in Guernsey with a bit of character.

The Library Bar, St Peter Port
Cosy, classy but not ostentatious. Has a "colonial" feel to it, with good old fashioned service to match. Excellent food. Excellent value.

La Villette Hotel Bar, St Martins
Comfortable restaurant with good menu. I recommend the haddock and chips and chicken curry. It lets itself down a bit in the vegetable department. Nice setting, parking, welcomes kids.

This was a nice pub, when it was open. Do not invest in Christmas Savings Club.

When we went it was quiet, service and menu were excellent.

The Longfrie Inn, St Pierre du Bois
Famous for the witch on the roof. More restaurant than pub. Good value. Nice location. Plenty parking. Kids welcome. Some tables outside.

The Old Smugglers Inn, St Brelade
Superb site, superb atmosphere, superb food, superb pint, superb value. Just superb!
