| A truly authentic real ale pub with a penchant for belgian beers. The range is to say the least extensive, occasionally I have heard customers tell the bar staff where their bottle of choice is located! Food ranges from standard chilli or bangers and mash to an excellently presented sea-bass. A bonus feature being that you can get smaller portions for the main menu items. This leads into the fact that this is a very family-friendly pub. The recent overhaul of the garden area is such that children can roam around on either astroturf of Mill Road Cemetary which is well-respected by the owners (notices placed around requesting customers keep it clean and don't take drinks there). A wide range of fruit juices and non-alcoholic bevearges is available. The atmosphere is amicable and patrons tend to converse more than in more formal and 'professional' local pubs such as the kingston. I got the impression that the landlords enjoy owning and running the pub more than operate from a distance as they are ever-present with insightful recommendations, particularly with regard to the continental bottled beers which are basically a mystery to most customers. Well-run, VERY busy friday and saturday due to sheer capacity, although recently waiting time has decreased. Regular extensive beer-festival efforts, far more so than local competitors. Very much a local's pub welcoming everyone and anyone with a smile. oakhamsbeermonster - 17 Jul 2010 01:56 |
| Top pub with a range of changing ales, can get frightfully busy though - maybe removing some of the bar stools from the main bar would help? And in the summer it's a magnet for fair-weather drinkers and often their sprogs. Where are they when it's cold?! And then they seem to think that they have a right to a free table in the garden! Sorry, personal bugbear. Again, a top pub and Jethro and Terri are very friendly. Killian42 - 2 May 2010 14:53 |
| Top notch back street boozer. Excellent range of ales. Only mildly spoilt by the loudmouth in the corner who thought that the whole pub wanted to hear his unfunny tales of his schooldays. nmckenn - 4 Apr 2010 22:39 |
| A really excellent pub, though I have a personal preference for the nearby Kingston that in no way detracts from this. nelly0164 - 16 Mar 2010 14:37 |
| Just to set the record straight, Arctium_Iappa omits the tenure of Nick and Mandy Winnington, now at the Waggon and Horses, Milton, under whom the reputation for real ale was established, along with the no-smoking half of the pub, before the Lloyds took over the running of the place. hadda - 16 Feb 2010 16:40 |
