Jackson Stops Inn, Stretton

I am surprised that nobody has reviewed this pub in over three years as it is an absolute gem. The food is excellent and, for what it is, very reasonably priced. Service is first rate and the atmosphere super. But best of all it remains a village pub with non of the "gastro-destination" nonsense that some pubs aspire to. If you just want to have a pint you are just as welcome as you would be for a full lunch.

The Cork And Bottle, Leicester Square

Since this is a wine bar it is perhaps not too surprising that it is not strong on real ale and perhaps should not have a place in the BITE guide. But since it is, I should record that it has changed management - a couple of years back, I think - and although it has lost a little of its former bohemian charm it is still an excellent oasis in the living Hell of Leicester Square. Whilst undeniably on the expensive side, it is still well worth a visit.

Railway Inn, Ancaster

I have never drunk in this pub but have had food from the Chinese take-away times. It is absolutely top class, good size portions, delicious and very reasonable.
