USEFUL
INFORMATION |
You can
search for pubs in any location - use any one of the
directories which appeals.
The guides on your boat
contain lots of details, though not necessarily bang up
to date.
There's lots of detail in the Camra guide to real ale pubs,
available from
Camra. |
REMEMBER -
Most places don't serve food on Monday nights, and a
surprising number of smaller pubs only serve food in the
evening at weekens. So it's worth ringing ahead - phone
numbers in the cruising guides on board. |
PLUS
From the best Yorkshire fish and chips to exotic
flavours from all over the world, there are takeaways everywhere!
