Hello pub fans, site host William 'D-Fens' Foster here. You may remember me from angry 90s psycho-flick Falling Down.
After a tiring day smashing up shops, terrorising Wammy Burger joints and watching old men die on the golf course, there's nothing I like more than to slip into a boozer for a pint of cool lager.
But I know it's not always easy to pick a winner, particularly if you're new to the game. So we created www.fallingdownthepub.co.uk to help you sniff out the decent boozers - and avoid the crap holes.
Our site features more than 100 pub reviews written by drunk, dispossessed and maladjusted stars of the big (and small) screen. From King Kong and Gandhi to R2D2 and the Little Mermaid, this is the place to come for advice.

Now clear a path. I'm coming home - after a couple of pints.
