    BEST MICRO PUB IN THE WORLD!

    My local. But, wouldn't swap it for anywhere else. Excellent beer, friendly staff, great decor, clean. Lovely food on a Sunday. Oh and it's cheap and the boss is a legend, dry sense of humour and doesn't live in Lower Halstow. Keep it up guys!

    Unwelcoming & Unfriendly

    We have visited this place on several different occasions to give it the benefit of doubt but we can confirm that this is the most unwelcoming of all the Micro Pub's we have visited. I can only assume the first visit was at a bad...More

    Pre dinner drinks

    Exceptionally friendly bar offering an excellent choice of cask beers and ciders. No lager thank goodness. It has restricted opening hours but if you want a drink and a good old fashioned chat with friendly people, this is an excellent place to visit.

    Real Ale pub

    Very friendly with some good tasting ales and ciders. Just lacks a bit of atmosphere at times. Seems more of a hobby for the guys running it than a commercial pub venture. Ill still pop in from time to time as the choice of ales...More
