Created from a former bistro, this is the first and so far only micropub in the Deepings. Expect interesting beers and lively banter. The range of up to 10 cask ales - all served by gravity from the chilled cellar behind the bar - usually includes two or three dark beers (often including old ales or barley wines) and an offering from the local brewery, Bowler’s (now also brewing Hopshackle ales). There is a large range of over 30 bag-in-box ciders, including a number of fruit ciders. A small range of continental lagers are offered. Food may be ordered from the adjacent takeaways and consumed in the pub (plates and cutlery provided). Occasional live music and other events. Nearest bus stop is about half a mile away. Voted by the branch as Town Pub of the Year 2024.
