| If you love your ale then this is the best in the area in my mind. 47458sf - 21 May 2009 16:05 |
| I've had some good nights in here, quiet ones, not load raucous nights. The beer is well kept and local, the food tasted good. I don't mind that mobiles are banned, If someone rings me, I go outside to avoid disturbing people. I do this in pubs where there are no signs as I think it's polite. mooseo - 5 Jan 2009 17:47 |
| Having seen it from the train on visits to Nottingham made a point of coming here. Beers great, very happy with the experience of drinking here. TiaMariaJim - 24 Nov 2008 16:37 |
| Fantastic Victorian railway pub with trains rattlin past the tent (huge covered outdoor seating area) which sits literally adjacent to Beeston rail platform – the spring-heeled could leap straight into the pub from the train as, sadly, the access gate is now locked. Classic tiled ‘vault’ has frosted windows, walls sporting framed breweriana posters, next (central) bar area gives on to a wood-furnished dining room and, beyond, the rear room displays a décor akin to café stylee. The central bar itself displays indiv blackboards carrying serious food choices, £8-12 mains, see website for ideas. Two of the company declared the Lincs sausages/mash/gravy to be very tasty, as did those who nicked some from their plates. Was pouring down Sat & I’m glad I no longer smoke, as even the outdoor ‘tent’ is off limits, meaning no shelter at all for those who needed a tab. A coupla signs against the evils of mobiles but hey-ho, & I did get a tug for having a drink outside(!) whilst taking a photo, but they weren’t overboard & I just signalled I’d be back in a mo & all was well, even if I could imagine getting irritated on another occasion. High ceilinged traditional décor & feel throughout and solid beer choice and quality: Castle Rock Harvest Pale, Preservation, Elsie Mo, Everards Tiger, Thwaites Original, Bateman’s XB, Wold Top Keeper’s Light & A4 Amber, Hidden Fantasy, Wentworth Imperial, Caythorpe Bitter, dark beers listed separately, Funfair Meteorite, Newby Wyke Black Squall, also Biddendens Bushells cider & Newton’s Perry. Impressive? trainman - 9 Sep 2008 14:54 |
| Fantastic pub in many ways though I have a few reservations. Beer is always excellent and on a visit this weekend tried a couple. I agree with the no mobile phones rule but they do ram it down your throat a bit much - a big blackboard notice as well as the signs. I dont like the big marquee out the back and for we sinful smokers we can't even light up there. Still the best in Beeston by a fair margin, although there are better pubs in Nottingham area - Vat & Fiddle and Plough at Radford for sure. Tigerdrinker - 7 Sep 2008 22:05 |
