The pub has developed an enviable reputation for the quality of its fine ales since Andrew and Sheena took over the reins.Because it's a free house, real ales come from all over the country, though local beers aren't forgotten.Over 100 different ales have been served in the last year.The summer beer festival drew a large crowd, with a lineup of 30 ales, all of which were CAMRA or SIBA award winners.For information on this year's beer festival, go to the beer festival tab.The dedicated "Cider Bar" is always stocked with a variety of Real ciders from local and national producers.Our first Cider Festival, which featured 21 ciders, took place in early 2013.A comfortable sofa area, a traditional low-table area that doubles as a performance space and has a real fire in winter, a more contemporary high-table high-seat area, the convivial bar itself, a sheltered courtyard festooned in summer with hanging baskets a haven for sun worshippers (and smokers!) a sheltered courtyard festooned in summer with hanging baskets a haven for sun worshippers (and smokers!) a sheltered courtyard festooned in
