OPENING SOON
The New Moor Farm, Cramlington
New pub and beer garden
Opening: Wed 5 November
Address: Moor Farm, Annitsford, Cramlington, Tyne and Wear, NE23 7QA
The land where this pub stands once formed the fields of Moor Farm. The farm was first recorded in 1769 on a map as ‘New Moor’ and on later maps as ‘Moor House’, ‘Cramlington Moor Farm’ and also ‘Moor Farm’. However, it had been abandoned by the late 1980s. In the early 2000s, the farmhouse and its outbuildings were redeveloped.
The Red Anchor, Stockton-on-Tees
New pub and beer garden
Opening: Wed 19 November
Address: Yarm Rd, Stockton-on-Tees, TS18 3RT
Ropner’s shipbuilding company was on the north shore of the River Tees, where there were several smaller yards. Centuries earlier, nearby Yarm was the first port to develop on the river, yet could not compete with Stockton-on-Tees. The importance of ships and shipping is reflected in the borough’s coat of arms, with its background of six white-and-blue waves and a red anchor reflecting the area’s seafaring traditions.
The Chiltern, Beaconsfield
New pub and beer garden
Opening: Tue 2 December
Address: 12 Station Road, Beaconsfield, HP9 1NL
The first film shown at the 500-seat Picture House was a silent war film – Mare Nostrum, soon after which ‘talkies’ were introduced. In the mid 1950s, the cinema’s capacity was reduced to accommodate a new wide screen. In 1961, it was purchased by the local council and ‘extensively modernised’ soon afterwards. It was also renamed The Chiltern. The cinema closed its doors on 29 September 1989 for the last time, with the site sold five years later.

The Emerson’s Green, Bristol
New pub and beer garden
Opening: Wed 3 December
Address: 200-202 Westerleigh Rd, Emersons Green, Bristol, BS16 7AN
Coombe Lodge, Croydon
New pub and beer garden
Opening: Wed 10 December
Address: 104 Coombe Rd, Croydon CR0 5RB
This area of Croydon has retained much of its rural character and many of its older grand houses, one of which was Coombe Lodge. The grade-II-listed building, originally part of the Coombe Estate, is ‘probably mid 18th century’, with a large 19th-century conservatory. The grand house, previously Coombe Gate House or Coombe Green House, is first listed as Coombe Lodge in the 1851 Post Office Directory.
The Angel Inn, Wetherby
New pub
Opening: Tue 23 December
Address: 30 High Street, Wetherby, Yorkshire, LS22 6LT
This well-known grade-II-listed building occupies a prominent town-centre location. Closed since 2022, it had been a restaurant and ice cream parlour for 13 years. Until then, it was The Angel pub. Photos from c1900 show that it was previously known as The Angel Hotel. In older drawings and on the 1824 map of Wetherby, it is The Angel Inn. During 1760–1840, it was the town’s leading coaching inn, where passengers stopped for refreshment and stagecoaches harnessed fresh teams of horses.
OPEN NOW

Sigered, King of Essex, Basildon
New pub and beer garden – OPEN NOW
Address: 8–10 East Walk, Basildon, SS14 1HG
As a place name, Basildon’s origin is Saxon, meaning ‘Beorthel’s Hill’. During the 7th century, the area was part of the Kingdom of the East Saxons – now referred to as the Kingdom of Essex. It was then one of the seven Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of England. During c604–616, it was ruled by Sebert, thought to have been buried at Great Burstead, now part of the Basildon district. The last King of Essex was Sigered, reigning during 798–825.
The Hykeham Manor, Lincoln
New pub and beer garden – OPEN NOW
Address: Gateway Park, Roman Way, Newark Road, Lincoln, LN6 9UH
This pub’s name refers to a once-well-known local building. North Hykeham’s two entries in the Domesday Book are the manor (estate) held by Count Alan of Brittany and the much more recent Hykeham Hall (or Hykeham Manor House) – a large house on Newark Road, set in its own grounds. Originally ‘The Grange’, it was built in 1822 by landowner Richard Ellis. It was demolished in the 1960s, followed a few years later by its outbuildings – Barns Cottage, Hall Cottage and The Lodge.
Pictured left is the manor from which the pub takes it’s name.


The Sir Alexander Fleming, Paddington
New pub and beer garden – OPEN NOW
Address: Unit 53, 5 Merchant Square, Paddington Basin, London, W2 1AS5
Five minute’s walk from Paddington station.
Queen Mary’s Hospital, near Merchant Square is where the eminent physician Sir Alexander Fleming ‘discovered’ Penicillin. 5 Merchant Square rises high above Paddington Basin, which was built as the terminus of the Grand Junction Canal. The new waterway opened for traffic, in 1801, with the waving of flags, ringing of bells and the firing of canons. The canal brought goods in bulk from the industrial Midlands to what was then the edge of the capital, from where they were also exported.
Walham Green, Fulham
New pub and roof terrace – OPEN NOW
Address: 472 Fulham Road, Hammersmith & Fulham, SW6 1BY
Next to Fulham Broadway station‘s entrance
This distinctive property comprises the grade II listed former entrance building and ticket hall of Fulham Broadway tube station. Designed by the railway company architect Harry W Ford, the Edwardian baroque-style entrance was built in 1910 on the site of the original station entrance, which first opened on 1 March 1880. The station was called Walham Green, after the village which occupied what is now Fulham Broadway. Over 70 years later (in 1952), the name was changed to Fulham Broadway.


The Dictum of Kenilworth, Kenilworth
New pub and beer garden – OPEN NOW
Address: 18–24 The Square, Kenilworth, CV8 1EB
On 31 October 1266, a pronouncement was issued (Dictum de Kenilworth) to reconcile the rebels of the Second Barons’ War with the royal government of England. After the baronial victory at the Battle of Lewes (1264), Simon de Montfort had taken control of the royal government, but was later killed at the Battle of Evesham (1265), with Henry III restored to power. However, a group of rebels, whose resistance proved difficult to crush, held out in the stronghold of Kenilworth Castle.
