Little Ale House, Wellingborough

Micropub.

The second micropub in the county is this small ale house on the High Street with customer capacity of 30 max. Five rotating real ales are served from handpump, two of which are locally brewed, plus four draught ciders and a small selection of wines, top-end gins, malt whiskies and soft drinks. There is always a stout or porter; ruby or chestnut, and golden ale available. Food is limited to snacks (nuts, crisps). A wonderfully friendly pub helped by its size lending itself to social interaction with other guests and the landlady. A quiz night is held on the first Thursday of the month. Since Covid, the rear garden has been opened along with pavement tables providing much needed additional space. No parking, but the pub backs onto Jacksons Lane municipal car park. Voted Town Pub of the Year 2022. There is a picture quiz (informal - sheet of paper with 16 pictures with related questions and always a common theme) every Sunday. A quiz night is held at 19:00 on the second Thursday of the month.

Four beer festivals with the first over the May BH coinciding with International Waendel Walk, though the normal opening times may be extended subject to confirmation.
