Where to drink? An important question when you're wandering around one of England's towns and don't want to end up either being beaten up for not being a local, engulfed by drunken students or stuck in an old man's public house...so here's a small but gradually increasing guide to help....

Disclaimer: As you can see, some of these guides are years out of date - so there's a good chance a number of places have since closed, changed hands, or are now completely different. Some of them I've only visited once, and there's a good chance they're misrepresented. What I'm saying is that these reviews are my opinion at the time of writing, so don't go hassling me if I've dissed your local!
