Hi cockneyjambo, I'm like you, love Linekers, and well, Linekers actually

, but am determined to try others aswell this year, If you fancy a quiet drink with comfy sofas one night try Diva bar it's lovely and the staff are great. It's next door to the Chef restaurant, great if you've eaten there because you can then just relax on sofas to digest your gorgeous meal
I fancy trying Havana bar because it's mentioned a lot on this site as a fun place to be, and also three bells, which does HUGE

yorkshire puddings on their roasts I've seen the photo's on this site as I'm sure you have too

and sounds like a fun atmosphere too. I also fancy trying the Irish bar as it's very close to where I'll be staying and looks good fun.
A good pub crawl is in order I think! I'm going in 2 weeks so I'll report back my findings in the interest of good old customer research for you!
