Pub is easy to find and is situated on the main A1065 just north of Swaffham. I have been there several times and have never been disappointed. Always a good selection of local real ales, which is a bonus. The best pub if in the area for food. Food is always very well cooked and even with a large party the courses arrived promptly for everyone (nothing worse than having to sit and watch others eating while you are still waiting). Thoroughly recommended

We stopped at the Creg Ny Baa as we came over the mountain road after visiting Ramsey. Despite its isolated position, we were pleasantly surprised to find a lovely clean well kept and run Manx country pub, along with a range of locally brewed ales which appealed to my taste. The owners were very friendly and welcoming and our (well behaved) dogs were welcomed too . The meals we ordered were nicely presented tasty and filling. I wish we could visit more often.

The Gun is an oasis of laughter, informality and really good food. It's also the perfect place from which to consider Precott's folly - the Millennium Dome, directly across the Thames from the pub's waterside terrace. There is a proper restaurant section at the Gun but, if you want to eat for less, grab a table by the open fire and give the bar menu the once-over. There, you will find some really excellent grub for less than ??10 a head (a sausage roll is a hell of a lot more than you think!)... and don't forget to try the Fuller's London Pride.

Ye Olde Trip is at the bottom of the castle hill and is almost certainly as old as it claims. Various uneven rock as the walls and lots of nooks and crannies to sit and have a drink. Plenty of good, well tended ales on tap (also has a beer garden in the summer). Seems to always be busy with an excellent lively atmosphere. would definitely recommend it. In fact, if you're in Nottingham this is a "must go" pub.

Just discovered Perelli's in Wrexham (after visiting the town on and off for years!). Lovely meal and I was pleased with the whole experience. The staff were friendly but professional, in fact the service was flawless and came with a welcoming smile. The food was terrific particularly the steak and the mussels, and the atmosphere was amazing. It's a real gem in the middle of Wrexham's high street!

The lounge area upstairs came as a real surprise - it's not at all expected and it was great to relax and have a drink up there prior to and after our meal. Well done Perelli's for a top class establishment.

We wined and dined at Strathaven Hotel at a family wedding and also, the following day as hotel guests, so I guess we saw both sides of the business! As a wedding venue, it did exactly what it said on the tin - beautiful surroundings, excellent organisation and catering plus accommodation for guests who needed it.

As a bar and restaurant that's open to the public, it was no less impressive. The bar is comfortable and serves well-kept beers and, of course, wines & spirits. The restaurant, though not claiming to be haute cuisine, served an excellent choice of food in a Scottish-French style (the halibut and noodles were particularly tasty). This is a really good choice for quality-price balance when in Scotland.
