The White Hart, Olveston

well I'm back so I suppose I must be a two post member now ;)

I must have had my eyes closed when they did the Bass - maybe I didn't notice it because I wont touch the stuff.

The only way the Hart will ever get a varied beer range is for it to go Free house; if Punch taverns ever go through the hoop, this might happen - let's just hope they don't take the Hart down with it.

In regards to supporting my local, it's a bit like supporting a football team - support it through thick and thin.

The White Hart, Olveston

Ok, I've just read some of the reviews and there are some inaccuracies.

I've been going to the White Hart for 25 years (Bette Brown ran the pub when I started going), so I can make a reasonable assessment about the place.

The pub has never sold Bass and hasn't sold Butcombe for a while. Maybe a little pricey, but what drinker is ever happy with beer prices.

It's a tenanted pub and is beer tied (this explains the beer prices and lack of choice) to a management company - unfortunately this is likely to drive the pub out of business.

The courage best has improved quite a bit in the last couple of months, Doonbar is sold and recently London Pride has been included.

Being a local, I hope this pub stays in business.

It is a typical village pub.
