Bramley Apple, Southwellback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Great nights here. The Karakoe nights here are great. Thanks to the landlord and landlady for putting up with the Irish guys again!!!

Lovely village pub, seven handpumps, black rat cider plus 6 bitters from a variety of breweries including nearby Springhead, whose bitter was delicious. Roaring Meg was also on offer from this local source. If you want the 12:40 (bus61) connection to Oxton, however, do not wait at the stop outside, as this service only starts at Southwell Minster, and the next one is 13:50(?), and Southwell has no taxi service… Can’t blame that on this nice pub tho, or its friendly licencees; only time for one pint but gotta lean toward an 8.
Pity I didn’t get time to check out the self-promoting Hearty Goodfellow nearby, where blatent home reviews have been so obvious, but it’d have to be good to better the Bramley!

This has changed hands so many times in recent years I've lost track. Not sure who owns it right now. BUT, it's always been a good pub. It used to be THE place to go to catch a good blues band on a Saturday night, but then it was sold. Went gastro-pub for a while, which was fairly doomed to fail from the get-go, in spite of the nice new decor. Next chap to take it on brought back good English stodgy food and live music. As I say, not sure who has it right now, but it's definitely changed owners again - but still serving Springhead Bitter, which is not a bad thing, in my humble opinion! :-)

Had a lucky tip off about this place. Lively pub (though calls itself a bar restaurant, I didn't see anyone eating) a short stroll from the Minster, serving a wide range of Springhead beers and guests (a bit too cold though). The staff were very friendly and I'll certainly be going back whenever I'm in Southwell. They had posters up for bands but I didn't check what nights they were on. B&B available.
