Micropubs
Reviews from my visits to numerous micropubs all over the country – small watering holes that have been converted from various previous uses such as shops, banks, cafes and laundrettes.
Most of these visits cover my old home region of the East Midlands (mostly Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire) but where possible I will cover micropubs from all over the country. All I need to do is visit them and enjoy a pint or two there.

Burgers and Beers at The Tap House
One example of how small hospitality businesses have adapted since the Covid-19 pandemic is The Tap House micropub in Ross-On-Wye where a new hot food offering is now available. Naturally I just had to pay a visit to sample the delights.
