Re-reviews Added

Last Monday the HMPG team had a very enjoyable evening re-reviewing some pubs in town. The point of this exercise was to give you, our avid readers, more up-to-date reviews of the public houses; and a handy coincidence was that we got quite drunk! So every one's a winner!

To see the reviews just click on the pub names below:

The Left Bank (top picture), The Stagecoach, The Grapes and The Black Lion (bottom two pictures).

We have also received a glowing review of The Barrels by Wallace Reading, click here to read the review in it's entirety.

Keep the reviews coming in, and share with the world your experiences of the pubs you have visited. Keep checking back because soon we will be compiling a shortlist for the '2008 Hereford Pub of the Year'. As ever this will be a poll- and we invite each and every reader to vote for their favourite pub!

The Lich to re-open soon?

After the abrubt closure of the Lichfield Vaults a few months back it looks like there might be signs of life...

As we wandered down Church Street last night and peered through the window there were definite signs that some work was taking place. I didn't look for too long though as a rather large black labrador was staring back at me.

Does anyone know the latest gossip on what is happening with the Lich? If so drop us a line in the usual way.

A Record Breaking Month

Last month, September 2008, proved to be a record breaking month for the HM Pub Guide. In total there were 1175 recorded hits- which is the first time our monthly total has exceeded 1000. Below is the complete monthly hits per day graph:

We are now fully up-to-date, and all reviews sent in are on-line and available for your perusal. In total there are now 110 Official HMPG reviews, and 112 reviews sent in by you- our avid readers. So carry on the good work and keep those reviews coming in.

Roving Reporter Rob E visits Southend and London

Our independent reviewer Rob E has been out and about reviewing the Pubs of Britain. On a recent Hereford United away trip he checked out the Golden Lion at Southend (pictured right). Rob decribes the pub as a 'Scruffy pub but with character'. Check out the full review here.

The next day he moved onto London where he visited Doggett's in the Blackfriars Bridge area of the city (pictured left). This is an impressive sounding pub with 4 differently themed floors. Click here for the full review.
