What is Real Ale?
Real ale is beer brewed from traditional ingredients, matured by secondary fermentation in the container from which it is dispensed, and served without the use of extraneous carbon dioxide. It's a living product that continues to mature and develop complex flavours right up until you drink it.
Our Real Ale Selection
- Three rotating guest ales from local and regional breweries
- Carefully selected to showcase the best of British brewing

"Fantastic. Lovely friendly pub, patrons, and staff, with great selection of real ales. Lovely pub that actually used to be a bakery. The original ovens and tiled wall are still part of one of the walls. Friendly service and good ale."
