| Overall positive experience. Very local, unpretentious, with a happy selection of 5 (apparently, sometimes 6) real ales. The night I was there (mid-May), the pub had: -Ramsbury "Flint Knapper"; 
-Windsor & Eton "Wedding Knot Royal Wedding Ale"; -Dorset Piddle Brewery "Piddle";
-Oxfordshire Ales "Tripple B"; and -Bank's "Ruby Mild". The layout of The Carpenters Arms is nice, because it's kind of divided into sections, so you're not out in the middle of a hall. Found this pub on Google maps, of all places, doing a search for "real ale" (enough with corporate ale, eh). Thank goodness! Eulaliana - 20 May 2011 23:29 |
| A popular and friendly pub that’s a little off the beaten track, even though it’s just a stone’s throw from Edgeware Road. It’s essentially a single room affair with a U-shape bar counter, although there is also a protrusion to the rear that can be curtained off for semi-private events. There are large, dual aspect windows, with leather bench seating arranged in rows perpendicular to the windows at the front. The flooring is dark reclaimed boards and there are a number of old photographs of the pub on the wall along with a large selection of beer mats. There were three plasmas dotted around showing the cricket, although the sound was off. There was also a board detailing some upcoming premiership matches. All the barmaids seemed friendly. Beers on this occasion were Jimmy Riddle, Cottage Evening Star and Slater’s Craic. There was also a fourth pump on the bar, although this was not in use on our visit. The solitary cider was Strongbow, unfortunately. Blackthorn - 28 Mar 2011 12:21 |
| Stumbled across this place after a meeting in an unfamiliar part of town and it didn't disappoint - four ales available, friendly service, nice traditional feel. Well worth a visit. rob1981 - 8 Mar 2011 18:55 |
| The Dog and Pipe - as it's called by those in the know - is really two pubs in one. On occasion it's The Great Dog and Pipe, with a good selection of ales, some tasty looking barmaids and clientèle who exude cleanliness and education. Unfortunately on the other occasions it's The Dog and Poo, a dreary early 80's pit-town boozer where all the splendid ales have turned because the betracksuited customers have shunned real beer for some continental lager folly. Worth a visit for the former - pays your money, takes your choice. xyrion - 26 Nov 2010 16:12 |
| Visited this pub on the recommedation of an ale fanatic friend of mine. He was right about the beer, good selection, well kept. Was totally let down by the 2 barmaids who between them could raise a single smile. I was with a senior colleague from work having an early Saturday evening beer or two, and they started to speak loudly about how bored they were. OK the pub was pretty empty, and my colleagues and my conversation might have been a bit dull for 2 twentysomethings, but they totally killed the atmosphere, and were in fact rude. We soon left for another pub, the Harp in Chandos Place, which where the beer is better, and the bar personnel are cool. Use the Carpenters if you want a quite pint, but not a place to kick of a decent evening of revelry. sleoread - 30 Sep 2010 20:59 |
