The best pub which i found for a reasonable drink, was 'The Thorn Tree', Woodlinkin. I never had the 'Mild', only the 'bitter'. You just didn't feel too far out of this World the next morning.

The 'Red Lion' on Red Lion Square, can only be described as 'Uck'. The Mild tasted as thick as sludge and the Bitter tasted as if it was laced with vinegar. Either was guaranteed to lift the top off a novice drinker's head as soon as life returned the next morning and even accomplished drinkers too. Talk about 'The Morning of the Living Dead'.

The 'Ray's Arms' was about neutral concerning either drink. Not too bad, not too good, unless you had several, then you went neutral too.

'The Market Hotel' - decent too.
