| Good stuff - they do have 3 Loddon beers on (Hoppit/Hullabaloo and Ferrymans Gold )when I visited today and they were OK. Also 2 ciders and they do food - all day by the looks of it. Prices were fair (£2.95 - £3.10) and they are on the Ale Trail so let's hope they get good reviews from other punters mcroyal - 22 Feb 2012 23:00 |
| Apparently they now sell 3 Loddon Brewery beers - and quite a bit of it from what we hear. This needs to be checked but if true then this is good news for this little pub which is the nearest to the University and on bus routes as well. mcroyal - 21 Dec 2011 12:25 |
| I think this is one of those pubs that it depends what time you go in and what you're looking for. Most people I know in there are the 'after work' set and there's quite a good buzz then, with a few pints and a bit of fun banter and the sort of teasing that locals can get away with and nobody takes it too seriously. blackandwhite - 3 Oct 2010 11:16 |
| Not much real ale here, a choice of only two of which one was OK. This was a Sunday, when they had a barbecue which consisted of inedible stale rolls with a tiny sausage just bigger than a cocktail sausage. Aso available were pork ribs with enough meat on them to feed a mouse. Dont bother! delpus - 30 May 2010 17:46 |
| It seems this pub can't quite make up it's mind if it's a real ale pub or not. The have three handpumps but two of them serve something that is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike real ale - Courage Best or Adnams. The thrid one can give you a pint of something decent, the last time I went (12th May 2008) it was Summer Lightning. The quality of the real ale usually varies between just-about acceptable and very good, although on one occasion I had to reject a pint. The decor looks like it has not been changed since about 1973, but I think that adds a certain charm. The real claim to fame is the Cafe Scientifique evenings they hold here sometimes, where visiting academics do talks and Q/A sessions every now and then. If you are intellectually curious, you can enjoy and lecture and a pint! Otherwise, there's the other bar. mericet - 19 May 2008 16:17 |
