You’ll find the Earth & Stars a few yards (or should that be metres now?) away from the throng of Queens street; with it’s numerous bars, eateries and off-licences. This pub lives in a world betwixt the trendiness of ‘the Lanes’ and the chavtastic madness that is West St - So what’s it like???
This pub has recently re-opened having been refurbished; It’s been closed for years. So it was interesting to have a look around and enjoy a pint or ten.
Have a little walk down Preston street and you’ll find this pub amongst the thousands of restaurants, which is ideal if you leave the pub a little hungry 
Situated just up the road from the Robin Hood you’ll find the Duke of Norfolk. A fair sized establishment with a number of good points.
This is another little pub tucked out of the way, a hundred yards south of Western Road. Even so, this is a popular boozer, with a good amount of regulars propping-up the bar.
This is one of those pubs you’d only find if you were on a little bit of an exploration of the area, it’s a case of being hidden in plain view; being fifty metres away from the main road.
Maps
I’ve now added a map to each pub review as well as the general overview map. This should make it a little easier to find the pub you’re after.
More Reviews
I’m working on more pub reviews over the next few days, so they should be posted later this week.
10 meters from Western road - but a world away!
The Prince Arthur, not to be confused with the Prince Albert (The person, piercing or pub) is a great little boozer! Why? I’m not sure that I can sum it up in words, its just a nice little pub to have a few beers in.
Avast Ye!
The Pull & Pump, situated a few yards off of Western Road, has something of a ‘Pirate’ feel – No its not a theme bar, but it does feel like you are below decks on an old fashioned sailing ship.
The Windmill
Is about 100 meters away from the Hampton, so why should you pick this pub? They both offer a good range of drinks, have free internet access (802.11) and serve food. There is definitely a different atmosphere in the Windmill, is is better or worse? Read on. . .
