Yes, it is still an excellent pub.
The beer is in good nick, about half is Milton but they do have some say on the ownership.
Regularly changing Cider (occasional Perry).
Bar staff are ALWAYS frioendly, even that miserable lanky Leicester laddie.

see you thereI had the pleasure of visiting the Coalheavers during the afternoon of the thursday of the beer festival. It was my first trip to Peterborough, and thus my first time in that particular pub, so I can't consider myself an expert. However, I wonder if lfriend must have been visiting a different pub.

The beer was superbly served, the staff and the customers were all wonderfully friendly, the place was snug but clean, as were the loos, and the garden.

My only criticisms would be firstly that, at the particular time we were there, almost all of the beers were fairly strong ones -- not what one wants if one has an evening session at the beer festival pending -- and secondly that the place is maybe a little small, as I certainly _would_ want to invite friends here and suspect many others would too.

Visited the pub to meet a group on Saturday afternoon/evening. Oakhams JHB on good form, food excellent. Most of the staff are friendly. Handy for the raliway station.Always going to generate opinion this place... Firstly, the beer is fantastic - anyone who tells you different is a lager drinker. JHB is an ex-Champion beer, the White Dwarf is outstanding and the range of beer is impressive.

Ok, it's not cosy cos it's big - but the Thai food is good (excellent actually), and it's a great place to meet a new girlfriend. At the end of the day there's no better place to drink than a real brewpub (95% of beer drinkers in the UK would kill to have a brewery on their doorstep)...and Ok.. on Friday and Saturday evenings it's way too busy.. some afternoon's it's cavernous and feels empty too.. but it's a good place to go (in fact, there is no better place to drink in Peterborough).. therefore I think it's a victim of its own success.

To any doubters, I suggest you go upstairs on a quiet Saturday afternoon. You can drink beer made on the premises and kiss the one you love in peace - that makes it a good pub in my eyes... FANTASTIC !!!!

Thai food, delicious....
Staff, Excellent
Doorstaff, friendly
Drink, wide variety

Great curry night on thursday 8th july just a shame there was not more camra members there!

Beare of Honey Beer!Bogarts reopened shortly before Xmas. The place has been tidied up a lot, as has the garden, which will be an ideal location for beer festivals when the weather is warmer.

Six real ales available, mainly from Everards although the splendid Oakham Ales JHB is a permanent guest. Food will also be available in the near future.it's wicked and about to be shut down despite outstanding efforts from the manager and staff. send an e-mail to
Bogarts @ntlworld.com to express your diguist ith the free Masons who with only a weeks notice are shutting us down!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent two room pub owned by Batemans. Normally three Bateman beers and seven regularly changing guest beers. No hand pumps. All served straight from the casks in the cellar. Three traditional ciders/perries. European bottled beers. No keg/smooth beers of any kind. No juke box/fruit machines/TV/muzak. No food except locally made pork pies and pasties. Voted local CAMRA pub of the year 2005. Not to be missed if you are visiting Peterborough.Still an excellent pub after Batemans takeover.
POTY 2004 Peterborough.Still an excellent Pub, went during the PBoro Fest and enjoyed the atmosphere and decent beers. Anyone know where Irvine & Paula went as they seem to go to no festivals.

This is an excellent pub, on the Camra National Inventory. 4 well-kept real ales on handpump; I enjoyed Elgood's BLACK DOG which was especially good.

Lino flooring and formica tables with recesses to place drinks when playing games, etc.

Live accoustic music on Saturday nights, staff and management very friendly. A little gem. Go and see for yourselves!Suburb back street local (interior is listed), very friendly. Hardly changed since the 50's.
Good selection of well kept ales.
Has been my local since moving to Peterborough in 1973. Classic unspoilt back-street boozer, with interior furnishings unchanged since 1930's. Two rooms, plus extensive garden. upto 5 real ales, plus the usual lagers etc and the best pint of Guinness outside Dublin! Friendly & welcoming, this community pub has raised thousands £s for local charities. Known to regulars as the "Pisstakers Arms", you will feel at home on your first visit.
