| From the outside looks very neglected and decayed- two large blackboards either side of the entrance doors are blank, suggesting a pub with no future. Once inside it's a very different picture, there's a cosy single bar with every surface festooned with various posters; pig ephemera and rows of beer bottles add to the ambience. Lunch menu is basic but appealing, sandwiches and burgers with nothing costing more than £4 or so. 4 real ales on offer- I ordered the broadside but it was off, so I went for the London Pride. This turned out to be the best pint of Pride I've ever tasted; normally I'm not a great fan of this beer, finding it too astringent, I tend to end up with it when the broadside (or ESB) is unavailable, but this particular pint was great. This pub was in CAMRA's 2007 Good Beer Guide, but not the 2008 one; hopefully will reappear ther in future, especially if they work on the exterior edchambers - 9 Jul 2008 21:50 |
| Looks a little run down from outside but inside is full of character (wooden floors and lots of pig and music related memorabilia) serves good real ale and what looked like reasonably priced food. Beer garden and pool room out the back. Definitely a good stop on the way to/from the station. Rod_Hariga - 1 Jul 2008 20:26 |
| Our first pub yesterday on our real ale crawl around the city. This was in the 2007 GBG but not in the current guide so we wanted to check on it. The pub certainly has character with many pig related themes. Pig's on the hand pulls and on the ceiling and even an animated pig that drinks on the bar. Four hand pumped ales; Adnams Broadside, The Bitter, Explorer and Black Sheep. We all had pints of Black Sheep which all came in branded glasses. The food on offer seemed pretty reasonably priced and popular among the other customers. A pool table was available towards the rear of the pub. Much outside seating in the rear court yard. It was good quality beer and a good start to the day. Love_good_ale - 29 Jun 2008 01:33 |
| Very much a dark candlelit drinkers pub. Doesn't appear to open at weekend lunchtimes, but well positioned for that last pint before the train home. They were offering some Adnams beers yesterday, and I can report the bar billiards table is still in operation. The barman told me that the demolition plan for the area wasn't going ahead, so this place and the Osborne Arms next door will remain open. pubcollector - 17 Mar 2008 22:55 |
| Is this place still open?. I thought it closed ages ago. Used to visit a lot and while it was in need of a coat of paint the beer and staff were always good. Must have a visit again soon and see if it has changed much. CambridgeBlue - 12 Nov 2007 12:33 |
