There are many reasons people may visit a pub, but very few that make regulars out of them.

Jim Louis, of Hounslow, has been a patron of the Black Horse for the past five years.

When asked what continually brings him back to his local watering hole, he replied: "Good food, good bar staff, good TV coverage and good beer - just about all the reasons you could ever need."

"It has a really good atmosphere," added Richard, of Hounslow, who has also been a regular for the past five years.

"I can bring both my sons, and they love the food. It's a good pub for football. There's always loads of enthusiasm -it's a good place to come."

With all the reasons to keep coming back, it isn't surprising that the Black Horse has a large pool of regulars.

"I know most of the people who come in here," added Jim.

"It is a Liverpool pub, but no place is perfect."
