Getting busier and better all the time, now four handpumps. Forget the Queen up the road - closed since March.

Pool table is back.
|
At last - new friendly management. Liz, Val and Steve have turned this great pub around as it was dying on its foundations. Seems to be open all day at weekends and from 15.00 on weekdays usually serving food. Best check for opening and catering. 01228 560221

not bad worth a pint
|
Used to drink here years ago landlord was Dick, mmm was ok.
|
Thwaites house with a couple of their beers on, well kept. Only visited for a swift half on a mini-crawl round Great Corby and Wetheral.
|
Compared to the Queen Inn this is a rough hole. Real Ale (Thwaite with no guests) if available not in very good condition. Stripper last saturday when I called in for a swift one was over the top - pornographic and killed what head was on the pint
|
New tenants Percy and Alison are doing well, no food yet but should be on soon, usual beers from Thwaites but no guest ales.
|
Under new tenants from today - watch this space.
|
Lovely welcome, great beer and friendly locals sitting around sharing the banter. Interesting art work without being high-brow or pretentious. Really nice 'forget-the-outside-world-and-lose-yourself-for-a-few-hours kind of place. Precisely my cup of Earl Grey.
|
Both pubs in Corby are well worth a visit, real ales from Thwaites - not my favorite but always in fine fettle, plus the fabulous Kingstone Press Cider - Keg but never the less very tasty. Eddie has just built a barbeque in the attactive front garden to make the food range wider in the summer. Look out for the interesting railway prints and posters in the bars.
|
New tenants John & Eddie are doing a great job - cheers
|
Now up and running as a pub should be, Duggie, Liz and Martin have turned the place round. It is now the busiest pub in the area.
|
Now under new management, food available and looks interesting, will also open B & B rooms - about time !
|
Another set of tenants due in about a week, dont bother with Bank holiday Monday - they wont be open.

Was down in Corby visiting friends a few weeks ago and stopped in the Corby Bridge for some food and a pint. Was really impressed with the place which, despite the modern decor, had a really warm, friendly atmosphere. Food was great, especially the Steak and Ale pie and they had a nice selection of malts at a very reasonable price.
The new owners were really friendly to us and a couple of friends of ours stayed the night there and were so impressed that they have booked a room for a weekend in May.
I don't know what the previous landlords were like but having read previous comments it looks like there has been a vast improvement.
Great views too, look out for this one in the summer :)

If you think this is bad try the Queen up the road, the Bridge has recently been sold to Thwaites so I guess it may become more pubby, at least you can still play pool, darts & dominos. Beware of the staff, they will close the bar on a whim.

What happened! aargh!
Was formerly happily run down and homely, now looks like a twee B&B. Everything is new, and I hope in 50 years will be fully worn in, worn out, and human again.
This is an example of how to turn a country boozer into a clone house.
horrific garish new and rectilinear.
so very sad to have lost another bolt hole to the Ikea set. As the previous management were more to my taste - I wish them well and ta for the good times.
I will need an anaesthetic before going back again.
There were as I recall a set of ducks who wandered the from lawn - now its slabbed over wiht naff and stylinstically misfit lamps. Never Never leave architecture to builders or saless staff at B&Q! Builder are good at their thing, its not atmosphere.No doubt the new owners will get a payback, I will have to hunt again for respite from rural suburbia. GASP!
