The Speaker used to be my fave pub for post-work drinks. Dennis was indeed a character but of course the main reason for going there (or at least my main reason for going there) was the beautiful Isobel (sp?) who worked behind the bar. I even sent her flowers once for Valentine's.

Definitely need a Portsmouth episode !!

Have you been to Richmond upon Thames? The Roebuck alone (on the terrace up the hill) is worth a visit.

Wonderful Kendall! The Lake District is beautiful and I love the pipe tobacco made by Samuel Gawith there! It’s a real delight to see this video with a slightly different focus than the usual pub reviews. I really enjoyed it!

The poster for the karaoke definately contained Jareth, the Goblin King.

Thank you for not committing the crime of saying "an historic".

Lets just look at this Tweedy Pubs blog . You have found a way of monetizing going to pubs and drinking beer, how many would just love to do that for a living . Oh my dear love just off to work in the morning but its pay day on friday we can go to the pub and consume some architecture !

This was amazing, It was like Michael Knight starring in the six million dollar man.

Landlord a few gallons of your finest ale i miss them days .🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

Do you know.. If you squint your eyes, you look like Daniel Craig (James bond).😄

But the big unanswered question is was the 4 quid a pint celebration of traditional English brewing art any good ? I ask this because I remember going in a hotel pub in Cheadle Hume once upon a time long long ago to ask the manager advice on the location of somewhere, to which the manager then strangely asked would I like a pint of his beer . I really was not looking to consume beer as I was driving and not really interested . But I accepted the offered pint anyway which just happened to be a national award winning specialist bitter that he was very proud of . I Don't know anything about beer but I can tell you this beer was the most incredible stuff that ever touched my lips and I had another. No wonder you get drunks in Cheadle Hume.

Would they not let boys with shorts drink?

Fun fact, Queens is featured in S2E02 of Slow Horses. Lamb goes to meet the Russian defector there. There's an exterior shot of him approaching with the clock tower in the background, then I believe they seat themselves tucked next to one of the panels.

Regarding “a historic vs. an historic,” an would be used if the initial h is silent in a given dialect of English. An could be used before historic if the majority decides that it is now acceptable before a voiced h (as in an hat, an hare, etc.). This majority could be of a given dialect, and a “an” would be the norm of those speakers. In practical terms, I wouldn’t use “an” before historic until broadly adopted.

Very nice! And the "switcheroo" with Tweedy was a great idea! Your reflection in the windows and mirrors were easy to find! Well done!

A rather affable gentleman, I do believe I will explore your channel, and good day to you, sir.

Nobody is irreplaceable :)

might start watching these now they got rid of that posh bloke

Always lovely to see the old neighborhood. I lived in W11 for years before becoming "Kentish". Anyway, your instincts are right on amongst the pubs you went to. The Cock was one of my favorites from that area but I try not to tell people about it as I don't want it to become the next Pelican. The Elgin was also a decent place to get a drink and some grub. Can't say I ever wandered into the others. Proper pubs are quite hard to find around there, it takes some seeking out. One had to wander a bit and usually blur the lines between Notting Hill and extend out to Bayswater or Holland Park or Kensington. Appreciate the research as always. Cheers!

Suffolk has some fine offerings. It is Barley Country after all. And I always preferred the pubs that are like little warrens with all sorts of hide-outs tucked away.

Very interesting episode and a respectable stand in. Cheers!

This episode was fascinating

So sir tweedy let me get this right, you do Belgravia, Victoria and "Westminster" but you haven't come to pimlico !? Please come and shine a light on our unique corner of London to which the true pimlico people have become a dying breed!! Thank you!

Come and do a pimlico pubs episode!! Us pimliconians (not so many of us here now) are very proud of our little corner of london and it's a very unique area and history!! Please take a look it wont disappoint... I hope 😂😊

tweedys northern branch doing a good job

At 04:30- is that Al Murray?

Interesting pub, good interview, excellent choice of drinks. Great job! 🎉

Finally- a proper gent wearing a tie! Cheers!

As a fan of hoisting the occasional pint, (Porters and Stouts preferred, although to be fair, I never met a beer, or cider I didn't like...) this was interesting and quite enjoyable. We here in the Oregon Country cannot boast of any pubs older than the last third of the 19th Century, with those mostly in Salem or Portland, Oregon and even they are scarce as hens' teeth. A big thumbs-up and hearty vote of confidence in the "Host Swapping" theme. (Yes indeed, I followed the directive to view this following the Tweedy featured Londinium Amphitheatre production.) And yes, there should be a statue of you and Tweedy! Cheers! From a North American with DEEP UK roots, now in the Willamette Valley, Oregon.

Hi! good job ! cheers!

Excellent entertainment and a definite presenter upgrade! Love the pub, looks like a lovely building and location.

Interesting vlog 👍its good to see a classic pub not spoilt and a free house is always a advantage cheers to you both 🍻

Back in 1970 There were two pubs just as you come up out of the station,The one across the road was called the South Western and i think the one next to the station was called the Victoria , but can’t quite remember . There was one inColliers Wood. Whose name I have totally forgotten,if anyone could jog my memory it would be hugely appreciated

Excellent thanks

Excellent Swapsies content.

Hi Team, Very clever bit of editing at the very start, to think one of the Tweedy brothers made it all the way up to Kendall for just 5 seconds, true dedication!! Great interview with Tony which gave a slightly different tilt at the pub review and on this basis the infringement of the half pint rule was perfectly understandable. Well done for taking your hat off before you entered the church👏👏, seems a shame that sign is in the church rather than hanging up outside. And to think you were sitting on the bench where the famous Portsmouth writer, Charles Dickens, might have sat. Very enjoyable to watch and I too would doff my hat to the Tweedies for entrusting you with this episode. You definitely deserve a statue!! All the best!!

I did actually pause the vid to see what's on the Sunday lunch menu for when my dear Australian wife, Noleen and I can return to the UK. I did take her over the border of Scotland and Cumbria whilst she lived in the UK ... but it was a particularly cold winter she spent in the UK that decided things. She got a tad upset when the car's thermometer read as -15C up in the Pennines with 3 foot of level snow on the ground ...What upset her more was me wearing a T-shirt walking into Wolsingham, then to see young lasses in miniskirts and singlets waiting for a bus into town when my lass needed to be togged up like Nanook of the North ...Better be good for 11-95 🤣

NT also own the crown in Belfast

Hope you didn't ask for a pint of headless beer in that part of the world :)

The tweed twins swap !

Is there a CAMRA pub associated with a race course?

I love pubs with lots of small rooms. Its how thery should be.

I often wonder if there are old newspapers or hand written notes, maybe even coins, tucked away behind original wood panelling.

A proper local.Very good.

Was it acceptable for the church congregation to go straight to the pub after listening to the Sunday sermon? I was once at the Red Lion on the IOW next to the All Saints church. It was a great atmosphere in the beer garden, sipping a pint with the church bells ringing away. I can think of Lower Parkstone in Dorset and small towns in Ireland where more than one pub are right opposite the church entrance. Beer and God are only yards away from each other.

Not the same when Ann and Jack Knightingale ran it, no Bar, it was all table service. Jack always alternate the Type of beer glasses, so you knew he always gave you a fresh glass. The public bar was the games room, as in Dominoes. I was told that Ann's father was the longest soldier to receive a medical pension, as he had a half leg blown off in The Crime and War at the age of 13. (Hopefully they may be a an Kendalian who can argue or disagree with this).

An excellent review of a lovely pub. Cheers !

This episode with guest presenter Mr. WC21 was fun, but also gave some insight into the challenges of making a living as a landlord of a historic pub, in an uneven competition with modernized pubs. It was interesting to get a landlord's perspective. Clearly it takes a lot of idealism to be the landlord of such a remarkable pub, but it doesn't work without an understanding of the business. Cheers to Mr. Leach, Mr. WC21 and Tweedy!

What a great idea

Great video, although you know you're allowed to travel north of Watford on occasion!!
