Interestingly, the building sits in between the barber shop owned by Sweeney Todd and the pie shop owned by his mistress Mrs Lovett — a grizzly detail for an otherwise resplendent London pub. The Commercial Tavern seems occasionally to have forgotten its opening hours, has a pool table in awful nick and serves quite piercingly dreadful cocktails upstairs — but to its regulars, it is magnificent.

  • The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory
    C THE CAMPAIGN FOR REAL ALE The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory The information The Regional Inventory listings are found on pages 13–47, where the entries are arranged alphabetically by postal districts and, within these, by pub names. The exceptions are outer London districts which are listed towards the end. Key Listed status Statutory listing: whether a pub building is statutorily listed or not is spelled out, together with the grade at which it is listed LPA Local planning authority: giving the name of the London borough responsible for local planning and listed building matters ✩ National Inventory: pubs which are also on CAMRA’s National Inventory of Pub interiors of Outstanding Historic Interest Public transport London is well served by public transport and few of the pubs listed are far from a bus stop, Underground or rail station. The choice is often considerable and users will have no di≤culty in easily reaching almost every pub with the aid of a street map and a transport guide. A few cautionary words The sole concern of this Regional Inventory is with the internal historic fabric of pubs – not with qualities like their atmosphere, friendliness or availability of real ale that are featured in other CAMRA pub guides. Many Regional Inventory pubs are rich in these qualities too, of course, and most of them, but by no means all, serve real ale. But inclusion in this booklet is for a pub’s physical attributes only, and is not to be construed as a recommendation in any other sense.

Take it all in beneath the exposed ceiling beams or by the roaring fire. And The French House only serves its beer in halves. This Covent Garden legend occupies the backstreets away from the tourists. Its courtyard setting is probably how it attracted such a rough-around-the-edges crowd in the nineteenth century, when it hosted bare-knuckle prize fights. Earlier, back inpoet John Dryden took a beating by thugs hired by poet John Wilmot down this back alley. Smugglers, sailors and dubious sorts were said to frequent the pub although, all that remains from those swashbuckling days is the flagstone floor. One of the oldest pubs in London is also one of the most charming, perched on a hilltop by Hampstead Heath. For more spookiness, ask bar staff for ghost stories that include an otherworldly appearance from highwayman Dick Turpin.

  • Guide Michelin Eating out in Pubs 2013
    INFORMATION PRESSE Boulogne, le 1 er novembre 2012 GUIDE MICHELIN EATING OUT IN PUBS 2013 L’édition 2013 du guide MICHELIN Eating Out in Pubs sera disponible en librairie et en ligne dès le vendredi 2 novembre au prix de 13,99 livres (16,99 euros en Irlande). Cette année, le guide recense plus de 550 pubs, dont 81 nouveaux établissements, situés dans tout le Royaume-Uni, depuis Kylesku en Écosse jusqu'à Perranuthnoe et Southwolt en Angleterre en passant par Cahersiveen en Irlande. Sous la direction de Michael Ellis, Directeur du guide MICHELIN, cette sélection montre que la qualité de la cuisine proposée dans les pubs ne cesse de s’améliorer, et que de plus en plus d'établissements choisissent de servir en priorité des produits régionaux. De nombreux pubs parviennent à relever le défi du rapport qualité-prix : « Les chefs n'hésitent plus à utiliser des pièces moins nobles afin de composer des menus à des prix plus abordables, notamment pour le déjeuner, souligne la rédactrice en chef du guide Rebecca Burr. Ils se montrent aussi plus souples que par le passé et acceptent plus facilement d'échanger les menus du bar et du restaurant. Certains établissements commencent même à proposer des petits-déjeuners, des brunchs et des pauses goûter l’après-midi.» Preuve de l’amélioration permanente de la qualité, deux nouveaux pubs se voient attribuer des étoiles MICHELIN cette année : le Hinds Head de Heston Blumenthal à Bray et le Red Lion Freehouse dirigé par Guy et Britt Manning, à East Chisenbury. Ces récompenses confirment que le Royaume-Uni dispose non seulement d'un solide patrimoine culinaire, mais compte également un grand nombre de chefs très talentueux et créatifs, qu’ils soient aux fourneaux ou propriétaires de pubs.

  • 1 CARLTON WARE NEWSLETTER #46 from Ian Harwood & Jerome
    CARLTON WARE NEWSLETTER #46 From Ian Harwood & Jerome Wilson August 2009 As mentioned in our last Newsletter, we have been compiling a recap of our trip to the U.K. last winter. We flew from Calgary to London on Christmas evening, arriving there on Boxing Day 2008. Over the next 3½ months we put over 8,000 miles on our rental car, travelling to numerous antique shops, markets, fairs and charity shops, as well as visiting several Carlton Ware collectors and seeing their collections. This Newsletter will detail most of that and we will give you our opinion of the various places we shopped at, hopefully informing you of the best places to find Carlton Ware. We will also mention some of the good pubs, etc. that we stopped at for lunch! We stayed with my sister, Lynda, in Maidenbower, a suburb of Crawley, West Sussex. We were only minutes from junction 10A on the M23 and three junctions away from the M25, which enabled us to reach most of our destinations pretty fast. There are a couple of things you need for a successful day out antiquing in the U.K. – a satellite navigation system in your car and a copy of The Antique Trade Calendar. This is a quarterly publication of Britain’s guide to antique fairs, markets and centres and costs only £1.50; extremely good value. This publication is available at many antique events and centres or can be bought by subscription. If you are visiting the U.K. and want a copy before you go, let us know and we will give you the subscription information.
