This is such a charming pub. Well worth the trek I had to
find it. It looks fantastic, a real gem and had such friendly people on both
sides of the bar. I've got a smile on my face just writing about it!
The selection of ales was a relatively familiar one, with a tasty exception in
Golden Pippen, delicious. They had 5 others, including a couple that have to be
brought up from the cellar in a jug (a few places locally do this and boast of
doing this..not quite sure why it is such a big deal). Was surprised and happy
to see Dark Star Hophead so far from home too.
Quite a bit of food choice, including a selection of pies. I braved the game
pie as it contained venison and pheasant, neither of which I had previously
sampled. This was nice too. The pub really can do no wrong!
It was seriously difficult tearing myself away from the Hollybush, to try some
other local pubs. read more
