please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
| The Admiral was much better than I had expected. Situated near the village duckpond, it's a traditional locals pub with patrons all sat around the bar. Some of the language was a bit choice. But, all were friendly. Unusual for this part of the country, they stock Robinson's beers. Both Cumbria Way & Double Hop were on. In addition, there was 3 Brewers Mild & Porter & Dark Star Hophead. A 6th handpull had Saxby's Blackcurrant Cider, which was a decent surprise. blue_scrumpy - 3 Dec 2019 20:14 |
| Friendly enough old fashioned village local. Ale selection not too adventurous but what I had (Brains Rev James) was well kept. Snarling_Mallard - 25 Aug 2018 11:00 |
| They need to lose the crap lager and get some B&T pumps in. Then this pub would be infinitely improved. Lots of character, and plenty of potential. shand83 - 1 Oct 2010 04:58 |
| UPDATE - The "Save The Admiral" campaign succeeded. The Admiral is now off the GK "closures" list, a full tenancy granted, and (Aug/Sep 2007) GK have invested in long-overdue external repairs and redecoration. The rear courtyard is a delight, ample seating, some covered, and a plethora of plants. The pub sign has been repainted and restored to its former glory, and good quality beers continue to flow.

| "The Admiral" is a traditional cottage pub dating from 1830. Sympathetically revamped internally, it is a single bar with open fireplace, and no frills (no jukebox, no pool, no food, just beer). It's a warm friendly place, the pub of choice for Clifton folk to enjoy their pints and conversations. There's Darts, Domino and Crib, Quiz nights, and a Sunday Meat raffle. Being a "traditional" ale-house with no scope for expansion, Greene King put it on their "closure" list 10 years ago - it's still going strong, and there's a well-supported "Save The Admiral" campaign to keep it that way! Upcoming within days - "The Admiral" website, with all the details. GK have very recently extended the tenancy for another three years, subject to the usual review every 12 - 18 months (GK press release to the "Hitchin Comet" Nov 2005). Silvabod - 9 Dec 2005 02:40 |
