One of the greatest real ale pubs is in Shustoke. The Griffin. Fine old Hooky
I actually worked there for a year or so while I went to Nuneaton Tech. Must have tried about 200 different beers in my time there. Old Hooky is still one of my favourites. Fine ale indeed!
It was shit pay, but who cares, I could drink all the beer I wanted and then walk downhill to home.
