My all-time favourite pub - I can't say anough good things about this place. This has to be the most perfect boozer ever, hands down. The beers and wines are always quality, and the prices very reasonable. Great selection of interesting bar snacks without being too posh, and one of the best Sunday roasts I've ever had. I second the praise for the jukebox, and on Saturday nights there's always an excellent DJ on (DJ in the sense of plonk one record on, play it, fade into the next one).

But that's not what makes the Mucky Pup so perfect - it's the vibe and the people. The clientele is always friendly, but not to the point of being obtrusive. You'll always get a friendly hello, but you're not going to get the overfriendly drunk plonking themselves down and chatting up every girl at your table. The owners seriously love what they're doing, and they look after their punters. 13-05-09

Best Pub in the World - The Mucky Pup may not be The Ultimate Pub, that would have more of my music on the juke and midgets riding ponies behind the bar. It'll just have to settle for being The Best Pub In The World.

Why? Well, it's all the usuals: beer, snacks... er a roof. And the bonuses: a smokingy bit and great pub rock in the box (Never can hear Back In Black or Whole Lotta Love too many times. I know. Jimmy Page told me). But the best bit is that no other pub has that your-own-front-room vibe like The Pup. You may not know the other punters but they're your friends. You may not know Kenny and Angus (landlords) but you will. The latter is a leather dandy and the former the rock'n'roll James Bond.

Because it's not on the main strip it doesn't get c*nt clientele, it's small but never claustrophobic and whether you want to read the paper alone or take 15 mates to get battered with it's a pub that leaves you with a warm feeling. Literally and metaphorically. An absolute diamond in the rough.

And I didn't even mention lock-ins. 09-10-08
