Fascinating theme-roomed family enterprise constructed over two floors using recycled materials. Small patio in front. Quirky and fun, the Baa is a craft ale mecca featuring ten changing craft keg taps and eight ciders and perries plus nearly 200 worldwide bottled beers, many bottle-conditioned. Awarded AA Pub of the Year 2018 it is also famous for it's baked camembert plus specialty charcuterie and grilled sandwiches. Small but intriguing, the tiny empire has expanded into Pie and Pint next door featuring 3 changing real ales on handpump and a selection of delicious (mainly meat) pies. Cask beers are sold from a tiny room opposite the servery - ring the bell on the counter for service or ask bar staff for cask and they come to the room to serve you.

Useful information: only 2 toilets - one on each floor - expect queues!

Note - pub does not accept cash - card payments only.
