Numbers might have dwindled but our semi-rural location on the coast still has a clutch of proper old-style pubs. These are the pubs which retain that traditional character, the places where conversations are had, the ones which put ale choice at the forefront, where you can buy Scampi Fries and pork scratchings whilst sitting at the bar and enjoying a pint. And it’s where go for pool, darts and TV sport. The list is by no means exhaustive, there are probably more but is your favourite included?
