| A proper pub ie feels like someone's front room and doesn't serve food (although pork scratchings are on the menu). Enjoyed a couple of pre-match pints of Doombar, which was well kept. Echo the previous comments about friendly staff and punters. Well worth the detor off the main road. duchyjim - 24 Jan 2011 11:36 |
| Just moved into the area and this is my new local. Went there for the first time tonight and was pleased to find it as hospitable as previous entries here had suggested. Lovely little pub. Drank Sharp's Doom Bar and Black Sheep until they kicked us out. Really nice atmosphere. Will be making this a regular stop. mikewhills - 29 Dec 2010 00:06 |
| Cosy old-fashioned boozer in a quiet area, which doesn't seem to see much passing trade. There are plenty of pictures on the walls and also some decorative plates. A collection of baseball caps can be found behind the bar, whilst there were hops above the bar. There is obviously an Arsenal connection somewhere too, as there are a couple of items on display. A picture of the pub dog can be seen below the TV next to the gents. The TV is fairly discrete and was showing World Cup football on my Sunday afternoon visit. Three real ales were on - Courage Best, Hogsback TEA and Greene King IPA, whilst Old Speckled Hen and Bombardier were being pulled through. Disappointingly for me, the pub does not serve any real cider, contrary to the 2010 GBG entry. Service was warm and friendly. blue_scrumpy - 21 Jun 2010 18:37 |
| Situated in a quiet smartish residential side street, the Dacre Arms is a cosy, small and comfortable traditional pub that exudes a rather old fashioned and upmarket ambience. It's a carpeted and wood panelled interior, well decorated with plates and jugs and, notably, hops above the bar. Leaded, frosted windows and the absence of any TV's, fruit machines etc help create a fine environment for a quiet pint or two. On the real ale front, as you enter, there's a bank of 4 pumps in front of who, which, on my recent visit, were dispensing Hogs Back TEA, Black Sheep, Bombardier and Greene King IPA - a range that could be considered as rather unexciting by today's standards, although I gather that Harveys and TT Landlord are often on. A further 2 pumps situated further round the bar were dispensing Courage Best, which presumably reflects the fact that the pub still has some customers from its former days as a Courage pub. On my visit, notably, and slightly irritatingly, my Hogs Back TEA was served in a Courage branded glass. A subsequent pint of Courage Best then came in a John Smiths glass. To put the icing on the cake, a ladies glass was then used to serve me a half of Black Sheep ! The Hogs Back TEA - £ 3.10P - was in fine form, as were the other beers listed. The pub is listed in the 2010 GBG. It's a bit out of the way, but it's worth seeking out and I'd happily come here again - irrespective of which glass they use to serve me JohnBonser - 9 Apr 2010 11:00 |
