Visited this great pub recently. What a fantastic puplic house. I usually visit when they have a first class national brewed ale on sale. I would definitely visit more often if there was more to be had. Just one more permanent national beers please ...... Sorry I digress.
This recent visit had an exceptional beer called Jack Frost from Fullers brewery and it went down well, as did the good conversation and banter from fellow friends, customers and bar staff. *
An other time sat in the rocking chair reading my book and occasionally looked towards the log stove to make sure everything was as it should be, and it was, with me drinking my perfect pint of Fullers London Porter,the trouble is these beers don't last long enough.
Here's looking forward to the next time. The Tobie Norris is a classic pub.
* Forgot to mention, also had a proper original biscuit made from wholemeal flour with my coffee.

Wednesday last. A rarity in The Tobie. A non micro (shed) beer...... Fullers Chiswick Ale. A perfect beer in perfect pub served in a perfect condition. If only it could happen more often, it would be perfect!

Sime1977, do not "tar with the same brush" national breweries. So because Greene King have messed up Old Speckled Hen and Ruddles County with its devious ways does not mean that we cannot have a more popular beer that people will recognise and happily drink in the Tobie Norris.
As for "bland". Try a pint of Micro Brewery, (or "Shed Brewery")beers and compare it with a pint of Fullers Chiswick at only 3.5% and see which is bland.
What is requied is a couple of shed brewery beers in the Tobie to keep you CAMRA lads happy and the rest booring Nationals. As I said before The Tobbie deserves better.(IMHO). Anyway happy drinking Sime, whatever it is.
;-)
p.s. A dozen of us booring drinkers consumed some common national brewed London Pride. Went like "hot cakes"!

"Who wants common, national brews?" I do. At least they have had many years experience of brewing a perfect pint. ;-)

Classy pub as this charging more up market prices should be serving a much better class of beer.(IMHO) Looking at the selection of weird brews from Micro Breweries, many I have never heard of, and asking for a pint of �Leg Over� or some other silly named brew. No chance. So I just look in dismay and walk out hoping that next time I�ll catch something decent. It�s such a shame. Great pub, good food, great staff, great service, poor selection of beer.
Keep the micro brewery beers in The Green Man. The Tobie Norris deserves better.
Stop Press������..Guest beer just been & gone: Fullers London Porter�.Awesome! More of the same PLEASE!

Well, coming on to a year since this fine ale house opened. Any improvement?

Went to this pub recently. A homely sort of pub, quite pleasent. Very livley at lunch time catering for the Christmas lunches. The beer was in good condition but I have just one question..... Why have a sparkler on the pump despencing the beer? "To give a nice creamy head" I hear you say. I had the Adnams Broadside and while the beer tasted good it was spoilt by this thin narrow plastic stopper which the beer was forced through killing the natural taste. This is a falacy with many publicans when despencing certain real ales. Not to mention the extra effort required to push the beer through that little hole. Watching the bar staff you could have served two pints in the time it took to serve one.

The Tobie Norris, Stamford
I too had the privilege to sample the Fullers Brewers Reserve No. 2 and to quote what Mr Michael Winner says it was "historic!"
A rare treat served in the Tobie. Could not be served in a better pub, in tip-top condition for a pint ( or half if 8% strengh is too much).
There is now a new conservatory, very tastefully constructed (The Oxo Room or The Waiting Room?) for those people not been in for the last few weeks. No hot cups of steaming Oxo for sale though.
I look forward to the good ales and good conversations with friends, staff fellow customers in 2011 in a drinking establishment as it should be.
Cheers.
p.s. Hope the chilli burgers are on the menu well into February.
