The Snitterfield Arms, Snitterfield

Once again did a loop of the Welcombe Hills with this pub as the solitary "water stop". Yesterday's pint of Purity Gold was as good as anything I've had recently - disregard any fanciful attempts at getting Stratford town pubs into the GBG and come here instead. Doom Bar still also available but the clip for the Greene King IPA was turned around (a blessing). Under new management since autumn 2018.

The Pump House, Shirley

More like drinking in a glass-fronted aircraft hangar than a pub. There was supposed to be a beer festival taking place but Shepherd Neame Hop County seemed to be the most unusual offering. The unlisted-on-this site Craft Inn opposite is a much better choice but, as the name might suggest, its a very different kettle of fish.

The Old Corner Cupboard, Winchcombe

Doom Bar, Butty Bach, Mad Goose and Wickwar BOB were on sale today. I had a pint of BOB which was OK but I noticed that the beer was pulled through halfway through my pint so I guess I had just missed out on a fresh barrel. The pub has got some character but it looks like it needs a bit of TLC. Fine for an end of walk pint though.
