| Despite driving past many times I'd never used this place until today. It looks fine; clean and tidy enough and with a friendly barman. Then I realised why there was only one other customer in the place. £2.70 for a pint of Burton Bridge Golden, and one that didn't taste too fresh at that. There were only two others on, plus two redundant pumps. It's not a bad pub - I wouldn't mind it as my local, but there's nothing special about it. djw - 28 Feb 2012 23:58 |
| Not somewhere which we'd instinctively have ventured into on our travels, as it appears to be a fairly bog-standard corner local, but it was listed on the Beer Guide as having worthy enough cask ale and cider to merit inclusion so we went with it. Beer-wise, the selection was very limited and I had to own up to being somewhat disappointed. Maybe we were unlucky, and beer clips adorning the walls suggested we had been, but I can only speak as I found. I daresay what was on was in good nick as my partners-in-quaff didn't complain. For my part I opted for a Thatchers Heritage, which was excellent. Like many pubs in this neck of the woods, it was notable for having a classic traditional interior, and a continuous row of bottles running round the shelf near the ceiling. Service seemed fine, and although there weren't many in, the punters didn't make us feel unwelcome either. Character intact; a pleasant enough boozer. But maybe not somewhere you'd go out of your way for. TWG - 29 Sep 2010 16:55 |
| This pub used to be called the Dudley Arms and takes its new name from its resident ghost. As I opened the door a dog ran in the pub, everyone in there thought I must know the dog. This hilarious episode came to an end when the lady owner turned up, a lot of fun. The MILD is Banks's smooth pour. Stus.search.4.mild - 28 Jun 2006 01:39 |
