| Quiet pub, possibly suffering location-wise from proximity of several other top-notch beer pubs. However, five real ales are on offer, served direct from the tap room at the back. Had a very pleasant pint of the local Winter's Golden. rpadam - 24 Sep 2008 00:27 |
| Visited on a Saturday evening and it was very quiet. There were five ales available but I suspect a Beer Festival at the Rose around the corner had probably hit trade. Rod_Hariga - 5 Jul 2008 18:43 |
| This was the penultimate pub on quite a post football pub crawl. We needed quite a few drinks after the game yesterday. Just across the road from the excellent Kings Arms where we had just come from. This was a cheeky extra pub as a friendly customer in one of earlier pubs had recommended it. We only had halves in this pub as we had already had quite a number at this stage. I believe there were 4 hand pumps with another ale out the back as two pump clips were on one handle. I opted for a half of JHB but I was not that impressed. Usually this is a lovely hoppy easy drinking ale however this is not what I remember about this offering. I know my mate seemed to be happy with his ale so perhaps this is not a regular occurrence. I will have to come again at some point and review again. Love_good_ale - 24 Mar 2008 04:46 |
| The "miserable git" who ran the Bluelight in the 1990's was my brother who has died recently and unexpectedly. He ran the pub with integrity and honesty, with a great respect for the traditions of drinking in this country. He is missed by many even those he crossed. There has never been a better pint of Wherry than from his cellar. There will be a memorial drink at 2pm on Sept 22 2007 at the pub opposite - the King's Arms (?). All who knew and loved or had rather less affectionate feelings for him are welcome. soberasajudge - 12 Sep 2007 12:38 |
