Bridge, Shawford

Went here for dinner in mid Spetember 2006. Segregated from the nicotine addicts, Good food, excellent beer.Forty-niner was the best beer I tasted in the UK followed closely by TEA. According to the barman both are brewed reasonably locally but I didn't find out where. Forty-niner is a rather sweet ale but full of flavour with little gas. TEA didn't have the sweetness but was still a great beer.
The food was also excellent on the night we visited. I had pork chops. Others had Marlin and Chicken with rosemary. All said the food was excellent. Service from food and drinks staff excellent. Nice atmosphere. Background noise at a level that allowed a conversation without shouting or missing chunks of conversation. Would recommend this pub to anyone who wanted a good beer and good food. Would like to visit during daylight though. Maybe on the next visit to the UK?
