Pub 3478, Black Bull, Great Smeaton. Great sound! I talk about pub smells n sights but Daddy B is right, a good pub clamour without too many decibels is a reassuring factor. Table too wide for thin bench legs! Lucky it’s open 🥳

Pub 3477, Spotted Dog, High Coniscliffe. Anodyne alien autopsy gastro wank. Cantina style. Good pint of Tim Taylor Golden Best, but Dad coffee 6/10. Beer garden killed itself with piped Take That coming from a hedge.

Pub 3476, Brewstation, Richmond. Busy when I arrived, there was even a Scottie dog in a pram. But all absconded, including Dad. Chirpy landlady pleased I’m a porter fan. Loos tricky. ‘We close when we want, we close when we waaaant, we are Brewstation, we close when we want”

Pub 3475, Bay Horse, Ravensworth. 5* all round. Not bad for a pub that only opens before 5:30pm on a Sunday. Village has swathes of gorgeous green, diners not an issue due to incredible ale, a beautiful old inn and best of all, kind staff who like my GBG!

Pub 3474, Three Horseshoes, Barnard Castle. Beige grey hotel beginnings but good efficiency , a furry chalky pint of Darwin, and Dad was one the youngest whippersnappers present.

Pub 3473, Devonport Hotel, Middleton One Row. Great village, cracking pub if you turn right, and it definitely doesn’t smell of Plymouth. Bass 100 on top form, and a lady sounds like she’s laying an egg.

Pub 3472, Marine Hotel, Seaton Carew. Gorgeous plush hotel, best today and pint was only beaten by 3 Swords. Dad coffee 8/10. Moody Ginge not my fave barman. Dad gives coffee 8/10. Horse called Christmas Day wins. Blue old ladies wink.

Pub 3470, Duke of Wellington, Neville’s Cross, Beckham is fuming. Funny how Ember Inns creep up on you like prostate cancer isn’t it? Three Swords Kirkstall might be best I’ve had in theirs, ever! Barman was a headingley student living there. Pub stinks of BO but decent stuff.

Changing Room, Hobson. Preemptive industrial estater, very canny . Nice main man chats to me . Crazy hound makes odd noises. Ma’s Bar too sweet for my blood, but you gotta respect it. Dad sat in car like a hot dog.

Pub 3469, Crown 👑 & Cross Swords ⚔️ Hotel, Shotley Bridge. My 99th Bass since records began in a TTL glass is a classic. Pub hotel of two halves. I rate it. Helping Dad with 21st century technology. Classic barman with dirty tea towel draped over shoulder, Rene style.

Dolphin , King’s Cross. New one for me. Peach fizz keg is too sweet!
All life is here.
Frog Sean Dyche, Philosophical Andy Marr, Sexbot Miranda Hart, and obsequious Naomi Campbell.
Cricket is the thing. Nice boxy boozer.

George, Staines. A high class Spoons with an upstairs which gives impression of that Guildford one with the dripping blood. 🩸. Wobbly Bob drank scary. Shout out to my new friend Stephen Jackson woop 🙌🏼
