Pubs with cosy fires

Where To?

It's going to be another cold one tomorrow and my wife and I will be out and about. Any recommendations for pubs with cosy fires for lunch? Preferably south of the river.

OP asked for cosy

At one point before the full on conflagration there must have been a point when one could say it was 'cosy'. Admittedly for only a couple of minutes maybe.

Yes at that point when you just getting a hint of smoke and a gentle crackle of lath and plaster... may have ven been a few mins of coziness

Aaaahhh nothing like the crackle of lath and plaster and the creak of structural timber joists of a very open fire of a winters evening.

The Famous Royal Navy Volunteer and Renatos both on King Street have cosy fires

King Williams as well, much cosier than both of them but worse beer.

I love the fireplace at Royal Navy volunteer but every time the door opens you get a rush of icy air! 🥶

This was my suggestion too. So long as it's not rammed it's nice inside the royal navy.

Well. Maybe. As long as you are near a train station.

This is a cracking answer. I was reminiscing the other day about toasting my toes next their fire, following a very frosty walk to Stanton Drew after Christmas a few years back.

The absolute epitome of a cosy pub fire.

Inn on the Green have a nice log fire in the corner opposite the stairs (to the left side when facing the bar).

Take in mind the tables around are frequently booked in the evenings so you should call ahead and give em a headsup. I used to work there and know they’d appreciate it lol

The Ashton has a nice, central fire, but a bit of a way out depending where you are

And the food is shite. And the service. and the car park. What a dump.

The Crown in Churchill - bit further afield but the rustic charm is second to none, I'd argue.
