| STILL only 8.8 on the score board! Can't believe it! And it only seems to be me, Nipley and Ollie that have been there! Wellingborough's finest pub, best location for real ale, and a marvellous atmosphere. brian_stoat - 12 Jul 2008 14:50 |
| Nine... Count them. NINE hand pumps now and a promise of a micro brewery on site as soon as Steve gets a moment to get it under way. A travesty that CAMRA don't rate the place more highly and seem to favour Northampton for the awards handed out. Maybe the Northants committee are too lazy to stray too far from their doorstep. If ever there was a Pub Of The Year, it's got to be this one. Anybody remember what it was like beforre the Elliotts took over? Hateful. Let's see some awards delivered this year, eh?! MARVELLOUS isn't it. Ooh! Suit ME, sir! Brian Stoat (again) brian_stoat - 6 Feb 2008 19:52 |
| Unimaginable that The Loco should only have a current rating of 8.7! I used to drink here many years ago when it really was a dive. Since Steve bought it 3 years ago, it's become more of a wonderful hybrid of church and home to me. No better place to worship at the altar of real ale in the whole town, and always a hearty welcome from Steve & Liz and their band of merry staff. Extraordinarily well kept ale, and a startling rotating range of 'em to boot. Never a dull moment and many an unexpected moment. This pub goes up to eleven! Steve... WE LOVE YOU! brian_stoat - 4 Apr 2007 21:50 |
| A wonderful pub. The landlord Steve is truly committed to providing a superb range of real ales. The clientele are varied and include some exceptional characters. Nipley - 31 Mar 2007 19:54 |
| The pub is situated on the very edge of the town close to the railway sidings. A traditional English pub with games such as Northanpton skittles, darts, dominoes & cribbage a regular feature. A model locomotive trundles around the bar above your head as you sup your pint. A good range of beers are on offer and are constantly changing, so you can try something new on each visit. Sunday roast is superb and excelent value. Ollie - 4 May 2005 17:42 |
