A Random collection

49) Dukes 92, Manchester.
A bar and grill, it's larger and more spacious than pub but then again this isn't really a pub. 5/10.
50) The Salisbury Tavern.
Considering the age of the pub guide (2009) this sort of thing is inevitable. I had actually been here before it closed but failed to get a picture. It a airy with a modern interior, it is now a Tesco's Express I believe. I did enjoy a can of Polsky Shelp outside though (probably not spelt like that but that is how I pronounced it).
51) The Bountiful Cow, Holburn.
This is a steak joint really but I did enjoy the atmosphere for my pint. There is a good Korean restaurant near by called Kim Chee which I would recommend. As a pub this scores 5/10.
52) The Cricketers, Clavering (Essex).
Early morning round of golf follwed by lunch at The Cricketers in the glorious sunshine, it's fair to say that this was a good day. The pub had great character, I especially remember the beer barrel stools. The terrace is nicely set out and overlooks the village green. 8.5/10.
53) The Lamb, Nr Holburn/Russel Square.
There were lots of historic pictures of women of the walls which made me believe this may have once been a brothel but nobody could confirm that for me. It's a cosy atmosphere and there is a small terrace at the back for the summer. 7/10.
54) The Lamb and Flag, Covent Garden.
Small but perfectly pleasant pub in central London, I have no burning desire to go back though. 6/10.
55) The Priory Inn, Tetbury.
The bar was pretty dark but did serve some good ales. I would say this is really a place for drivers to stop of on long trips rather than a place to go for a few drinks. I wouldn't really call it a pub. 4/10.
