Always a Warm Welcome

Our local pub, The Bounty, may be closed but their warm heart and welcome re loos and water is appreciated by locals and visitors alike.

 The publicans, Sue & Dave, are two of our local heroes.

and getting a great reaction in the local paper, the Maidenhead Advertiser:

Pint at Your Butcher

 Great hog dog and sausage roll at Tom Kerridge's The Butcher's Tap in Marlow

 Pub/Butchers

 and  display cold room

Man Creche

Victoria Inn, Salcombe woos its target audience and reaps plenty of free media coverage.

Pallet Piece

These tables suit the times of quirkiness, recycling and 'catch the eye', control-the-cost design.  The Grocer Market Tavern at Spitalfields.

Rock Room

 The oldest inn in England -  Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem at the base of Nottingham Castle - established 1189AD with rooms burrowed out of the sandstone rock. @Yeoldetripnott

Simple Welcome

Dogs, children and muddy boots welcome at the Royal Oak pub, Marlow - maybe not right for every cafe but a menu message that is so right for the informal times we live in. @RoyalOakMarlow

Grab the Dog

Table Alternative

Wonderful suggestion at Royal Oak pub, Marlow - No tables?  Grab a picnic blanket from the basket and sit on the grass.

Three at a Time

The Five Bells in Wickham, West Berks serves their 9 Real Ales and 7 Real Ciders in 1/3 pint glasses so you can try 3 at a time.  Seems a great idea and thanks to my brother Simon who undertook the sampling on behalf of Great Cafes readers.
