Great pub to try once, if only for the experience of trains rumbling overhead every couple of minutes. Shame about the sticky bars (and seats, tables, carpets) - and the less said about the bogs the better.

... yes ... Turin, Italy!
Called in for a couple of pints while on a day trip to Turin (good old RyanAir - before the bloody government made day trips too expensive by putting up the airport taxes - bastards!).
Bit quiet when I called in (well, actually I was the only customer) but the ex-pat barman was very friendly and we had a good natter over a couple of pints. A little haven in what, in my opinion, is the unfriendliest Italian city I've visited - no wonder Michael Caine wanted to rob the place!.

A transformation! This was, until recently, a rather underused Charles Wells pub. Now, in collaboration with Banks & Taylors, it's a fantastic real ale pub.
Pub wisdom refers to a body of knowledge, insights, and anecdotes that are typically shared and debated in a casual, conversational setting like a pub. It's often characterized by its simplicity, practical nature, and sometimes humorous or slightly flawed logic. This type of wisdom isn't derived from formal education or scientific research but rather from personal experiences, common sense, and the collective memory of a community. It can cover a wide range of topics, from how to fix a leaky tap to offering a simple solution for a complex problem, and is a cornerstone of informal social bonding and storytelling.
another pub closes it`s doors. we knew this as the `roundhouse` or the `roundie` when we lived in the area.

Ornate old public house, closed in 1991. It was built in the 1870s and is Grade II listed. The turret makes quite an impact when coming up from Constitution Hill.
No plans to bring it to life again in the near future, as far as I'm aware.
I've never had a meal served on a slate before. What will they think of next?
Mackerel, roasted veg and pickles. All very yummy. We sat outside The Crown in Wells Next the Sea, in the shade of the building, on a very hot late September day.
Sorry I can't comment on your photos at the moment - I'll be back in about a fortnight.
The Bell pub, Horndon on the Hill, Essex sits on top of a hill with excellent views over the Essex marshland, the Thames, Kent and possibly London. It's situated on what is now a minor east - west road. It's been there for a long time.
As I understand it the son of the landlady went off to fight in WW1. He never returned but every Good Friday thereafter the landlady hung a hot cross bun from the ceiling for him and the tradition has continued. I understand that a similar tradition was maintained at the Bell and Bladebone pub in Stepney until it closed a few years ago.
I have come across a similar tradition in Corsica but involving yule logs placed oon a fire at Christmas time.
This has to be one of my favourite pubs. I first visited it in 1979 while I was still at uni. Still under the same landlord (David Short), it has changed hardly at all since then, carefully preserved on the tottering brink of ruin inside and out. Belinda the goose (who used to guard the car park) is now a fine example of the taxidermist's art in a glass case; the armchair at the end of the big table in the public bar had to be replaced because it finally did fall apart; one or two items have been added to the weekday lunch menu over the years; and recently a pillar had to be installed to hold up the public bar ceiling which was threatening to cave in.
Adnam's Southwold beers on stillage behind the bar, gravity poured, not pumped or pressurised. Soup (you don't ask what sort - the answer will be "it's sort of pale green today", or some such - but always delicious), and a nice range of sandwiches on good wholemeal brown bread. I had (pale green!) soup and roast beef today, which was lovely, but the ham and the smoked salmon (and the cheese and pickle) are excellent too. During the winter they do baked potatoes as well.
Unique and wonderful.
