I had an absolutely delightful pint of Henrietta, a fresh, blonde, session-strength ale from Wellbeck Abbey Brewery in Sherwood Forest. There were about four on offer. Junior drank some strange pink stuff from a bottle...Rekorderlig, I think he said it was. There's still time for him I suppose. The pub grub was definitely towards the better end of the scale, and served by very friendly people. It's a pity that so few people live within easy walking distance, really. Drive with care on the lanes in the area if you make the well worthwhile trip out. There's ample parking whatever though. eddybeer - 30 Sep 2015 22:36 |
The website says it's been run by the same family for 80 years. I was very touched, that after not having visited for over 20 years, I was warmly recognised by the very same staff who'd served me from time to time back then. That does not happen often in life. The beer was just as good as it always had been too. eddybeer - 15 Jul 2013 18:45 |
Great little pub, with a huge menu I definately recomend the Ploughmans! Beer is great and they always have a couple of real ales on too. Flyssann - 1 Jun 2006 19:11 |
Fantastic pub, short menu but it's all great, Speckled Hen and Adnams on cask, popular with walkers, comfy lounge and seperate bat with real fire. haddonsman - 21 Jan 2005 15:17 |
