  • I go for a pint in a pub where going on your phone or any social media is banned and if caught you get kicked out! This is to force you to talk to your mates or other people just like how a real pub should be!
    There is no music, no tv's....just cheap beer and a chit chat!

    You cant beat a proper old fashioned British boozer. You will meet people that you never knew existed. You can become friends with strangers and listen to their stories over a pint. It’s just a friendly atmosphere and an all round great experience. Please don’t let this tradition disappear, it’s ingrained into British culture. This is how our country was built. 🇬🇧

    Cheers for this dude. This pub review thing is right up my street. As I've said before, think you are on to a winner with this content. I really enjoy pub-culture and I love that you are documenting these kinds of real community hubs. The statistics on pubs that are shutting in the UK are grim. They are actually the burning ember of light left in some communities which are themselves otherwise grim. I hope that people remember our great pub culture and that people like you help to encourage people to never be afraid to venture into a pub, no matter how they look on the outside. These days, they need all the business they can get. Said it before, but if you are ever over in Northern Ireland hit me up for spots to check out, both the good, the bad, and the ugly lol.

    What some customers would do is buy half a Taddy Lager (4.5% - £2.30 a pint) and half an Alpine (2.9% - £1.40 a pint) in the same pint glass for £1.85 a pint.
    The bitter drinkers would mix half a mild (1.34 a pint) with half a Sovreign Bitter (2.04 a pint) for a pint of mixed for £1.69 a pint. Happy days.

    Same as the Kings Arms aside the river Ouse in York. Another Sam Smiths pub.
    We went there (a while ago now). No swearing, no music, "no using mobile phones...", in the bar man's words:
    "to make calls, check emails or send texts. If you want to do that, go outside or go to another pub."
    And no card payments, only cash. In fact, the bar man said they wouldn't allow anything "electric" in the pub.
    I guess the electric pumps were the exception to the rule.....and the lighting, of course.

    I drink in an old pub that banned phones when they first came out years ago, they also don't allow kids in the front bar.
    If your phone goes off he will put it in a pickle jar full of vinigar or nail it to a board.
    I love the place wish more were like it, everyone in there is polite and actually speaks to one another.
    Bring back the old days.

      Why even you want to look at the phone meanwhile enjoying your pint? How about engage a conversation at the bar with the worker or reading a book or newspaper instead, or playing board games yourself, Playing darts or pool table. Who the hell wants to sit with a smartphone by themselves, must be so depressing. You could do that at home or at work, not in the pub.

      The Shoulder of Mutton in Bradford city centre is my favourite go to pub when I'm in Bradford. It is a good honest traditional English pub serving great beer at Samuel Smith's no nonsence prices. The Tadcaster brewey produce all their own light ales, bitter ales, brown ales, lagers, porters, stouts and a cider, they even have their own brands of spirits. The lunchtime menue is excellent too. Other notable pubs in Bradford that are freehouses are The Corn Dolly and The Fighting Cock.

    We have a Sam Smiths pub here in Castleford,our snooker team had a match there recently we had been forewarned about the policies but thought it must be exaggerated.
    When we walked in it,it was like the scene in an american werewolf in London when they go to the pub on the moors!
    Grim,soulless,cold..the building was tired and run down,to be fair the beer was decent,and we aren’t bothered about our phones so that wasn’t an issue,swearing on the other hand!now being average at best snooker players most misses are followed by a string of f bombs..we were told half a dozen times by their team to watch the language which in a rough and ready town like Cas is laughable.
    Somehow we made it through the match and fortunately it will be a year till we have to go back,although I’ve threatened my partner with a night out there!
    Anyway great video mate keep up the good work

    There’s a way of telling people tho. Me and the mrs went to York and honest to god, didn’t see the boards. I told her to grab a seat and I ordered our drinks.
    She was on her phone checking where the car park was. I was only having one cos I was driving.
    Some muppet from behind the bar went over to her and said get off your phone. She said oh sorry I didn’t see the sign. And he tapped it.
    Then he was slagging off my mrs to his mate. I thought they were talking about someone outside knocking the sign over or sumat.
    Only when I got to the table she told me and I put 2 and 2 together. It was her bday and my gran was calling my phone to wish her happy birthday. So I put it on loudspeaker.
    Fella looked old enough to be her dad. Did he come over? Did he f***. He was just looking at me and back at his mate.
