Thanks for pointing that out, that's Substack's cheeky set-up to encourage readers to subscribe, not mine - it does look like you do have to sign in, but you actually don't have to put in your email address in - if you look below the subscribe box just click on 'no thanks' and you go straight to the reviews.

Please try again, and if that doesn't work please let me know.

Here's a link to a recent review of a famous local pub in case that works better, though i suspect it will still coax you into signing in!
