| Visited last night with my wife for the first time since the pub opened. The lady behind the bar was pleasant but the beer was very disappointing. 3 Adnams on offer and 1 Red Fox. I had a Broadside which wasn't good at all and my wife had an Explorer which she hated and said has lost its grapefruit flavour. There was a lack of atmosphere in what is a quite a large pub and a tinny sounding TV playing advert radio on the wall which all in all made the place feel like a social club. Such a missed opportunity here - we wanted to see tapped barrels on the bar with more local beers. If you’re going to call yourself ‘The Ale House’ your product needs to be the best around…it certainly wasn’t. 5/10. beerbarber - 15 Feb 2012 08:02 |
| A rare visit to my home town, and whilst all the other suckers went to the WHCS to see the mighty U's lose to the bottom of the table team me and the other two old gits went to the newly refurbished and open Ale House formerly the Dragoon. Excellent range of Adnams Ales and guests, and whilst it still smells of paint it will undoubtedly take custom away from the pub across the road. 7.5/10 Monkdawallydahonk - 14 Feb 2012 13:57 |
