My favourite pub is…

This is a tricky one to answer. Most people would pick their local I guess. I live in Claverham which is very limited when it comes to pubs. There aren’t any! Well that is a bit untrue. We have a local bar called The Tannery which is part of the community hall in Claverham. Whilst it isn’t a pub as such, they do have a strong community of regular locals and there is a lot of fun to be had, especially at the annual beer and cider festival. The prices are good too, thanks in part to the lower running costs I guess. The volunteer staff do a great job.

If I am looking a bit further afield then I would possibly put the Blue Flame on my list. This is a cracking pub, located between Nailsea and Clevedon, serving great beer and some wonderful food. They have a big garden at the back and the rooms inside are very atmospheric.

But is it my favourite? What about the Black Horse in Clapton? This pub is oozing atmosphere. It has has some family history as it was where my Mum and Dad used to do their ‘courting’ along with the Curzon in Clevedon. It hasn’t changed.

I’m not doing a very good job of answering my own question. The trouble is I fall in love all too easily. My favourite pub is the one I find myself in after a really good walk, with beer in hand and food ordered, sat with good friends and chatting to the locals. There you go, that’s my answer!
