I looked at your beautiful map just now and tried Binstead (I.O.W.) to find the pub.
A blue line shows the route Strip to pub, but I couldn't get up the actual distance read-out you mention ?
Perhaps you'd explain what I ain't doing right please.

Laddingford farm strip near Paddock Wood. 20 mins walk along a country lane lined with blackberry bushes to the Chequers Inn in Laddingford. Everyone very friendly, excellent food, large beer garden.

Sorry to bump a thread that's a couple of months old now but this has jolted my memory somewhat, that I quickly created a site a year or so ago now with different grass airstrips and some basic info/contact details as a resource.
Would people find helpful? If so will dedicate some time to update
aerodromes.net - The Online Airfield Database

Lambley near Nottingham if still open, walk 10 mins down the hill with a couple of pubs in the village. Weybourne, Muckleborough museum not sure if you can get a beer but a good cafe. Lundy, Marisco tavern, the strip is not for the inexperienced but fab place to go.

I noted on this site a long time ago a thread advocating landing on the beach at Arlingham on the River Severn.
Not to be recommended - the Severn Bore comes in very fast and can be plus or minus half an hour depending on wind and tide. Even an amphibian was washed away a few years ago !!
The pub though is great for car drivers :>)
