| Held an outdoor beer festival for the Stamford Festival last weekend - all guest beers £2.60 per pint including a 7.3% effort from Oakham Ales. Beers we tried were fine. Normally only Charles Wells' beers are available, which do not inspire me to visit often. Worth calling in if in the vicinity though - only a few yards from Mama Liz's.

| Blackthorn's second review clearly relates to the Tobie Norris, and not the Dolphin. Stamfordian - 17 Apr 2010 14:22 |
| This is a fantastic old pub, from around the 14th century I believe. Many of the original features have been retained following a sympathetic refurbishment. The good sized front bar had wood panelling on the walls, boards on the floor, leather arm chairs and a real fire, there are more traditional stone walled bars further back and more seating upstairs where you can see some of the original, and very old looking, rafters. The main bar area seemed very busy with lot’s of people milling around, although the front bar was quieter. It’s certainly not cheap at £5.30 for a pint and a half, but I guess this is a classy pub in an upmarket area. It’s owned by the small, local Ufford brewery so they had their White Hart on the bar, but surprisingly the other four beers were all from other breweries – Adnams Broadside and Champion Pale Ale plus Hopback Summer Lightning and something from the Nottingham brewery. There was also Aspall’s Suffolk cider. Blackthorn - 18 Jan 2010 10:35 |
| This is a traditional old pub, with several different rooms located just on the outskirts of the centre. It’s probably just far enough away from the main drag that it doesn’t get to rammed on a weekend, and is (so I’m told) the only pub in Stamford that does food on a Saturday night. The bar area was quite small, and as several locals seemed to like standing there chatting, it wasn’t especially easy to get served. The menu was quit extensive, with most pub classics on there, plus pies, burgers, etc. and a small specials board. Apparently they do a carvery on a Sunday. The food wasn’t fantastic, but with most of the mains being around the £7 mark, you can’t expect too much. Four beers on tap, Wells Bombardier and IPA, Belly Warmer and Old Home Wrecker. Also Strongbow cider. Blackthorn - 18 Jan 2010 10:17 |
| Lovely pub with lots of character. Nice traditional place but with modern touches, good beer, open fire a real bonus. mattstock1974 - 23 Feb 2007 20:03 |
