Bit nearer to home - The Albion, off the City Walls in Chester.
A pub that has not changed inside since the First World War, as you can see from the pics.
Al Murray surely based the " Pub Landord " on the licensee of this place.
The pub is " family hostile ", does not serve " poofs or tarts drinks " cocktails or shots. Has no music or gaming machines and race goers are not generally allowed in. ( last time I went in, I went in through the kitchen as the front was locked up to keep race goers out ! ).
The licensee has been here for nearly 40 years and it really is " his gaff ". Compete with pub dog and cat, that steal your food if you're not vigilant.
The food is amazing for the money with the oatcakes being the pick at about £4.00 a serving.
A wide variety of real ales which are all perfectly kept and a massive selection of whiskeys.
A true gem of a pub.
