| We arrived too early as it didn't open till 12 noon but it was worth the wait. As has been said - it is the old S hipstone's brewery tap with much breweriana around the bar areas. Good selection of beers (a bit surprised to see Fullers London Pride and Deuchars IPA as regulars though). Anyway, we had Titanic and Flipside ales on our visit and it was all very pleasant! From the tram stop to the pub you pass the old brewery which is a majestic piece of architecture and happily has found another use and,I understand, parts have been refurbished internally. Shame it doesn't brew Shippo's fine beers any more. mcroyal - 18 Mar 2011 11:32 |
| Visited 27/7/10, 6pm Excellent free house. Nine beers on. I had a very excellent pint of Adnams Regatta. Lots of brewery memorabilia around the place. I shall definitely visit this place again. Chief_IDIOT - 28 Jul 2010 08:16 |
| I'm a bit surprised that this pub hasn't had a BITE posting for nearly 20 months - so here we go. The Horse and Groom is a fine traditional free house that is situated close to the splendid red-brick Victorian edifice that used to be Shipstone's Brewery. It's worth a walk past to admire the architecture before popping in to slake one's thirst in what was apparently the Shipstone's Brewery tap. Indeed the pub still bears the Shipstone's lettering outside on the front wall and inside is various Shipstone's memorabilia including brewery trays and horse and dray photos. It's a single bar split level pub with distinct areas. On the left as you go in is a small cosy snug with a fireplace and a Bass mirror. The main bar area has plenty of other brewery mirrors and memorabilia and a reasonably cosy traditional feel. At the back is a large function room where I gather that live music is occasionally staged. There's 9 pumps serving a fine range of real ales. On my visit, these included beers from Rudgate, Slaters together with better known beers such as London Pride and Deuchars IPA. The pub is listed in the 2009 GBG. Unfortunately, I just missed a Yorkshire Beer Festival by a couple of days. I have to confess that I can't remember what I drank in here, but I do remember staying longer than intended and falling behind my carefully pre-planned schedule. This is another pub that is easily accessible by tram ( Shipstone Street stop ) and can be combined with a visit to the Fox and Crown ( Alcazar ) , on which I've just posted. I'll definitely try and come here again JohnBonser - 28 Jul 2009 12:33 |
| An excellent pub, with plenty of beers to choose from. Nottinghamian - 10 Nov 2007 13:20 |
| Haven't been in for a while and was disappointed with the quality of the beers I tried. I hope this was a one off as the beer's usually of a very high standard. palmwinedrinkard - 3 Aug 2007 11:46 |
