| Good pub, with good beer, food and music festivals. Plenty of choice even for the fussy drinker. Next to rail station. They don't like you to have your mobile phones on, so make sure you're on silent. Worth a visit. ng10 - 10 Aug 2011 10:17 |
| Classic Victorian style building close to (but not straighforward to get from) the railway station. There is a locals bar to the right and a more dining oreintated room to the left as you go in. They have a large garden with music on. They had 16 ales on and a further 8 on in the garden. I tried a pint of the Blue Monkey bitter and to honest it was drinkable but i have had better pints of it. The garden was full with people there for the music but there was only one other person in the bar which makes me wonder if having 24 different beers at the same time wasn't stretching the limits of achieving top qulaity with all of them. Worth visiting but can be hit & miss on the ale front... will ask for a try of an ale on before ordering a pint on future visits. Snarling_Mallard - 17 Jul 2011 15:38 |
| As someone from out of the area, this pub is a little difficult to find, but well worth the effort, from the outside you get the impression that something a little special is contained within, and you are not disappointed, on entering the bar is bare wooden floors , menu boards on the wall, one of the most extensive whisky displays i have seen for a long time behind the bar, excellently kept ales, sadly i have lost my paper that i wrote the beers on , sorry, but all splendid ales, eat inside in the clean well kept bar, or outside under a gazebo/plastic marquee affair which whilst large kept the sun off us on a fabulous sunny day, and with only three tables "trackside" its a scramble to get in the sun.. Sat out in the garden is a treat next to the railway with trains passing not 15 meters from you, the food is a mixed offering, with the Memsahib having Goats cheese on bruschetta, fantastic.. for mains i had the pork pie and stilton ploughmans, good value for money, Memsahib had pork meatballs which she felt were bought in but nice, desert was Lemon tart, which i really enjoyed, The toilets were spotless and the staff fabulous, though the girl waiting on seemed to be a little out of sorts, sadly this pub is 100 miles from me so wont be a regular but when i'm in Nottingham next, I'll be back ... Worth a detour for ... Independants like this need our support, and you wont be disappointed here Ziggles - 25 May 2011 18:59 |
| Oh and there's a CAMRA discount Sundays-Thursdays. dpaajones - 2 Oct 2010 21:51 |
| I can only imagine that the reason why this has only a 7.2 score on BITE is because of deliberate down-marking by some idiots. Quite simply a brilliant pub. Love the red bar (food and mobile phone free). Great selection of beers, well kept. Loads of wines, whiskeys, etc, too. Haven't tried the food. Right by Beeston railway station. In the red bar you can feel and hear the trains rumble by. Friendly customers and staff. Not sure what others are complaining about. The Crown may have more beers, but this place has more style. dpaajones - 2 Oct 2010 21:49 |
