Enforced stop due to missed train/bus connection, reasonable micro-pub beers. Best place to stop if waiting for bus/train. ellisref - 27 May 2017 22:28 |
It's taken me a while. But this finally my first visit to one of the Brewhouse & Kitchen pubs, where the ales are brewed on site, with the brewing equipment on display. Apparently it was the old stationmaster's office for the adjacent station. The positives were that they had a decent selection of their own ales - Mayor of Casterbridge Porter, Cerne Abbas Giant, Hopster, Judge Jeffreys, Nine Stones, Crickmay & Stationmaster's Ale. The drinking environment was pleasant. But from a negative perspective, it didn't feel much like a pub - more like a bar that serves food, similar to American bars. The solitary cider was off and the porter was nothing special. I was also a bit perturbed by the service. There are two sets of handpulls either side of a pillar. I'd only had chance to peruse the one set when I was approached to order. After telling the bar manager that I would just take a look at the other ales, I was expecting him to follow me the other side of the pillar. But he unexpectedly disappeared out of sight! I won't rule out this chain and I'm sure I'll visit another branch soon. But the whole concept does feel like a bit of a gimmick. blue_scrumpy - 17 Feb 2017 09:05 |
Ignore the low rating for this pub. Since becoming a Brewhouse & Kitchen it must have improved massively. The beers brewed on the premises plus guests from others in the chain are of high standard and the food is pretty good too. Not the most atmospheric of places but certainly worth a visit. baxterfish - 17 Nov 2015 21:00 |
Large pub near the South station that has clearly had some serous money spent on it recently. On-site brewery. Several of their own beers on offer - the Judge Jefferies that I had 2 pints of was very good. Pretty busy both inside and the outside seating area. Worth visiting. cheshirecat - 26 Jul 2015 10:56 |
Absolutely superb Sunday lunch. The beers brewed on the premises are excellent. If South West Trains offer another £15 travel deal we'll be back. Steamer1 - 13 Apr 2015 18:33 |
