YM's favourite pubs

Re: YM\'s favourite pubs

The East Coast is a gastly place to be, I can't imagine why anyone would ever want to try and sail in muddy puddles with shifting sand bars everywhere. The only decent pub closed down due to lack of use and we are stuck having to put up with adnams. No wonder all East Coast sailors are such a sober lot.

Terrible, terrible. If I could sell the house I would be straight down to that sailing mecca called the Solent. It is so much nicer there.

Anyone whom upon being asked for advice by the great and Godly Cunliffe, can only respond with "buggered if I know" has no room to criticise..... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Think I'm gonna give away hard-won trade secrets to that hairy handed yotscribbler? Think again.

Got a feeling the Jolly Sailor at Ashlett Creek is closed - was when I was there late last year.

[/ QUOTE ]No, he only gets very good service when he takes his elegant SWMBO with him. when he's on his own, he is treated as riff raff like the rest of us.

.............Are you seriously suggesting that there is not one decent pub between East Anglia and half way down the West Coast ? ( going anti clockwise)

Re: YM\'s favourite pubs

Do you get paid or is it just an honorary position?

I can see the meeting now, " I know we need to find the best pubs in Britain, any volunteers?"

As its a YM survey you wouldn't have found this one - I was seeing how close I could get the boat to the bar ( about 10ft). Good pub but airdraught issues for you lot. (Swan at Pangbourne)

I wouldn't call the George in Yarmouth a waterside pub (I don't think the proprietors would either) - it is an expensive hotel.

Erm, you've missed my favorite - Ferry Boat Inn (FBI), Dittisham on the Dart

Re: YM\'s favourite pubs

I tend not to bother with the Butt and Oyster any more after somereally crap food and a long queue for beer.

However.......

I still like some of the crap waterside pubs because even an average pint is enjoyable with a good view. The Wetherspoons in Brighton Marina is one of my favourite crap watering holes because I love the view from the high outside balcony looking out to sea.
Another good crap pub is close to Dover Marina over-looking the locked bit of the Marina.
But my all time favourite crap beer salon must be the top deck of the Haslar lightship on a summer evening. Brilliant view, but always seems closed during the day and pants beer.

So you can see where i'm going here...I rather while away the evening on the Haslar lightship having already eaten at somewhere like the Castle. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

p.s. I like the Shipwreck at Shotley (good Beer and food) good view and the Bristol Arms (good beer (crap view)


So, just for me....can we have a good view guide? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: YM\'s favourite pubs

good view, beer & food... Ramsholt Arms on the Deben...... if only the entrance to the Deben wasn't so dangerous I'd go there more often /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Always good grub anytime I've been, and the view over the Firth of Forth and bridges is stunning.
