Street Food & Craft Beer.

Formerly Beards & Boards, which closed after New Year's Eve 2025. Reopened as Dirty Barrel 30th January 2026.

Two cask beers, but served by in-line beer pump, not handpump. The two pump handles on the bar are for show, dispense is from the right-most beer taps on the back wall. Beers are likely to be Flower Pots Buster's Best and Goodens Gold. Twelve keg beer taps. Some other aspects below may also be out-of-date.

A friendly and welcoming 'craft beer' micropub originally opened as Beards & Boards in September 2019. With a stripped back industrial-urban décor.

Historic Interest

Building used to be a butchers - traditional butchers tiled floor and tiled walls which are fitted so well they could not be removed, just covered over. Building also served as a post office and prior to being a pub, a charity shop.
