Scream for Pizza food truck, every Wednesday, £5 (if pre-booked)
Moors and oceans are great, but looking up the Tyne towards the city’s bowed bridges from this pub in Ouseburn is another kind of delight. It is especially exciting at sunset, as the Instagrammers and amateur photographers of north-east England have discovered — city lights gleaming(闪烁) against Miami Vice skies.
The Angel on the Bridge, Henley-on-Thames
House favourites
Brakspear Bitter, 3.4%
Slow-roast belly pork, £13.50
For those who prefer their views more landscaped than wild. The river is peaceful, the ducks entertaining, the air clean, and sunsets and mist keep the view varied all year round. The pub even has its own moorings for people with boats.
Duke of Marlborough, Suffolk
House favourites
Adnams Dry Hopped Lager, 4.2%
Braised beef cheek, £13.50
Time has a habit of leaving its trace on village pubs and the Duke is no different. Originally built as a medieval hall house, it became an inn during the 17th century. With the help of what is obviously a very active community , the pub is a lively place attracting drinkers, foodies and families with kids . Help yourself to dog biscuits if you bring your best friend.
The Bevy, Brighton

Harvey’s Sussex Best Bitter, 4%
Sunday roast, £7.95
In 2010, what was then the Bevendean pub was closed by the police due to a series of antisocial incidents. Four years later it reopened as the Bevy, after locals bought it and carried out essential works. The whole project is an example of how an urban pub in an unfashionable area can be saved.
