It was home to Sherlock Holmes after he retired. The pub itself is a typical British pub with a big fireplace and lots of rough wood finishings. Lots of seating indoors but also a great setup for lots of outdoor eating on the beautiful summer days. Order inside with your table number and then watch as staff run constantly to get food to everyone and make sure all tables are happy. Our food arrived quickly and it was amazing! My friend had traditional fish and chips and I enjoyed a lentil Wellington which was so delicious - I'd definitely return for another serving. This is a great stop after touring the coast and a beautiful village to stroll through after an outstanding meal.

Oh Bison Beer! Why have I only just found you!? *sadface*…read more Apparently they have been open for just over a year now and I've walked down East Street soooo many times over that period but completely missed this place. This is my perfect idea of Saturday afternoon shopping! (Sorry Churchill Square). Not only do they stock ALL of my favourite beers/breweries from Beavertown to Cloudwater, Flying Dog to Wild Beer and lots more....they also brew their own which tastes pretty good too! We stocked up and purchased 10 bottles and was given a loyalty card. Every £15 you spend you get a stamp and you get something for free after every 3 stamps which is pretty good going. They also sell Growler's where you can fill it up with their own beer or they have a couple of others on draft too (Cloudwater last time I visited but they change it regularly apparently). The only thing that was a little bit off was the service, the lady was nice enough but she seemed to spend more time helping a guy who walked in asking 'Do you sell any proper beers? As in like Fosters or Carling or something?' Perhaps she realised that he needed a lot more help :) But it would have been nice to chat to her and get her opinion as an expert on perhaps beers that they stock that we've never tried before and/or learn a bit more about their own beer. But she did give me a taste of the latest Cloudwater on draft....and anyone that feeds me Cloudwater is all good in my books. A solid 5 stars for me for the selection of beers and their own brew only, hopefully the service will be 5 star worthy too next time we visit as I can see this place being somewhere that we will be visiting a lot! *happyface*

They've got so many you could have a different one each day of the year. At the end of the shop closest to the front door they had a very welcoming bench, made, we were told with reclaimed timber from Brighton Pier.

We glugged back the Bison's Beast Street ipa and to me it had an elderflower taste (that's a new one on them). Great little shop with a huge selection of craft beers and a massive crowdfunding campaign. They hope to raise funds to turn an abandoned listed building into an independent pub.

The…read moreguide we had (Lisa) was knowledgeable, had been with the company a long time, and had a great personality for the tour. She was alternately friendly, funny, and informative. The tour was organised around the four main ingredients of beer (barley, water, hops, and yeast) and it showed the old way and new way of brewing at each stage. Often you see an old copper and brick version and then you see the new, computerised and stainless steel version. Lots of the photo opportunities are in pretty poor light. If you bring a camera, be sure to be ready for dim indoor lighting. On the up side, you see a real working brewery doing its thing. You really do sometimes step out of the way so someone can walk by and keep doing his job. On the down side, this means they generally only do tours during business hours. Skive off work one afternoon, though. It's worth it. Parking near the brewery is limited, so be sure to allow yourself some time to find a spot. There's ample pay-and-display parking, but it's a lot of twisty turny streets in there. I'm not sure how easy it is to get to this on public transport. We drove. That's a shame, because somebody's not getting the full experience. The tastings at the end were generous and we got to sample lots of different beers. I had only really had the London Pride and Honeydew before the tour. I'll be watching for the Jack Frost Christmas ale and Chiswick Ale now.

This small industrial unit is home to the By The Horns brewery, these awesome people have added a bar to the unit (there's glass separating the 2 areas). This is a beautiful thing in itself. They have a selection of draft beer and bottles (most are £3 a pint/bottle!) including a draft poured through a delicious hop cannon. There are also wine and spirits on sale. You may have noticed the weather getting worse.. And I would recommend wrapping up warm if you're visiting the bar at the moment. I do look forward to trying it in the summer when they have tables outside in the sunshine. There is a huge projector screen and they show most of the big rugby and football games. This bar is far from glamorous but it has heart and soul and great beer!

The place is in a bit of a random spot, I wasn't too keen on our walk there but we made it. We ordered a pint as we were early, their speciality Cake boy, a hazelnut beer I wasn't too keen on it and wished I haven't ordered a whole pint. Plus it was expensive £13 for two pints! It should be cheaper directly from the brewery. Also i definitely wouldn't have ordered a whole pint if I had known I was going to have to chug the thing as we weren't allowed to take drinks on the tour with us! This is very different from US brewery tours and they usually welcome drinking on the tours. However I understand why, as the tour starts out in their private tap room, where you drink and taste all their different beers on tap. I think we tried around 5-6 beers, we even got to still taste their stout even though they had ran out of it on draft. They actually opened bottles of it, to pour for us -- I was impressed and their stout was nice, it's different from others stouts as I'm not a stout drinker. The pours were a third of a pint each too. The tour in whole was 2 hours but didn't actually last that long. The tasting lasted around an hour -- this is something I haven't experienced at US breweries, where the staff go into soo much detail about each beer and taste them with you. Usually a brewery tour is only 20-30 minutes touring the facility. This tour was more like bourbon tours I have been on. The actual tap room we were in was full of Michael Jackson's (the beer critic) glass collection -- cool or what? After the tasting we finally toured the facility, which lasted around 20 minutes or so. The tasting was better than the tour, I could have skipped the tour, their was nothing special. As traditional with British health and safety laws, we were required to wear safety goggles on the tour, even though it was the evening and nothing was happening. One thing that did disappoint me, was you weren't able to keep a tasting glass after the tour, you had to buy one from the gift shop. Also as I'm not up to date on British craft beer, I was surprised to learn that Meantime sold out to SAB Miller a few years ago and then was later sold to a Japanese company. However though we enjoyed the tour overall (I think it was all the beer -- lol). We stayed after the tour finished, had another pint and actually ended up chatting to our tour guide for the evening. We had a great time.

I count myself very lucky that I don't live anywhere near this brewery, otherwise my friends and…read morefamily would probably never see me again. Housed in some very old farm buildings, this working brewery produces some jolly fine ales such as T.E.A. (Traditional English Ale) and Fresh Spring. There are 11 different varieties produced here. They regularly do tours of their operations which take less than two hours. With all the samples you'll likely have, best arrange transport home! The brewery shop upstairs is literally packed to the oaken rafters with hundreds of bottled beers, not only from Hogs Back but also a large range of other breweries from far and wide. I might have done a short 'happy dance' when I first saw it all. You can also buy a range of other Hogs Back products such as beer gift sets and memorabilia such as glassware and clothing. Tip: the brewery tour days/times can be flexible to suit individual group requirements. It costs £12.50 per person. Tip: there is free home delivery for all online orders over £40.
