A friendly welcome and a great selection of reasonably priced ales and ciders are guaranteed in this self-proclaimed 'proper boozer' that truly lives up to the label with seven cask ales on offer. There is a wood-burning stove adding to the convivial atmosphere. The main football and rugby matches are shown on HDTV screens with the week’s fixtures chalked on a board. There is a well-stocked jukebox, monthly meat raffle, the odd themed night and occasional pub trips are offered. A past winner of Branch Cider pub of the Year, up to four real ciders are usually available plus others that do not meet CAMRA's current definition of real cider, (Weston's Old Rosie, Broadoak Moonshine). Tower real ale information can be found on line using the Real Ale Finder app.
The Tower had been local CAMRA Branch Pub of the Year or runner up many times and celebrated ten consecutive years in the Good Beer Guide in 2023. The presentation pictures show the Pub of the Year runner up award being made in 2023 and 2024, also the Community Pub of the Year and the ten years awards in 2023.
This Pub serves 5 changing beers (often Oakham, Salopian, Gun, Fullers Gales HSB) and 2 regular beers.
