More on Pubs

[Jigsawged]

As a newbie to the forums, I am presently addicted to surfing through all those that catch my eye as being of interest to me. You may already have this covered but just in case: There is a lot of info on pubs in different topics. I think it would be really useful if the pub info could be indexed under a waterway heading.

 

I am presently on the Staffs & Worcs and it is some years since I last passed this way. If I could look at a pubs thread and then define say, the S&W that, I think would be really useful.

 

Has this already been done, perhaps I'm not searching the forums efficiently?

Problem is pubs are closing and changing hands all the time.

There is a pinned thread 'Best Waterside Pubs' thread stretching back to 2004, with trhe latest posting by Goliath 3 days ago.

Yes, I know and it is a crying shame, supermarkets and cheap booze, high rents imposed by breweries, etc. it hardly pays to be a landlord these days but some are still making a go of it.

 

What I was getting at is that the members are, it seems, really up to date and it might be a worthwhile exercise to start again at some designated location in the forum, perhaps in a proforma style of: Waterway, pub name, beer type (brewery & cask or keg), food quality and range, accommodation and general observation, or some style that gives the info we all would like to know.

 

In the past, the knowledge that a good pub is at a certain location has determined my cruising plan.

 

It could be built up over a short time with the cooperation of the members, rather than some poor oil having to wade through the present stuff and sort it. What do you think?

Yes, seen that Mac of Cygnet, but you have to wade through dozens of posts and still not find a pub on the waterway you are cruising. All I'm suggesting is that an organised list would be beneficial to a lot of members. Wouldn't you agree?

No reason why it couldn't be done, but there is a site that does it already.

Ah.....manna from heaven. Thank you Midnight Rider, a person after my own heart. I have looked and as you say, the pubs are there. That then, answers my question....

I compile http://www.canalandriversidepubs.co.uk and try to keep the database up to date but as readers will appreciate keeping the entries current is a mamoth task

 

As musc as I would like to visit every pub at least twice a year, this is not practical for physical, financial and liver reasons !

 

I would really appreciate if any forum members would e-mail me with any changes/closuresre-openings around the system and I'm more than happy to contribute to a seperate subject in the forum with any information that I have

If that's not worth a Greenie, I don't know what is!!

Finding your site very interesting, thank you on behalf of thirsty boaters everywhere!

Very nice.

 

Please feel free to start a discussion thread on the topic.

Keeping a track of what's happening just at The Bridge Inn, Napton is difficult enough, let alone trying to do it for all canal and riverside pubs.

 

RESPECT to Canalpubs for even attempting to!

Update sent today and will try and remember to make a note of each pub visited and check the corresponding info on the web site.

 

Keeping a site like that is a never ending task. Good luck to you and hope others help keep it up todate if only to report closures
