Six Bells in Shropshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

What a fantastic afternoon! The staff were amazing. Provided an excellent buffet for 40 of us! Great choice of sandwiches and incredible cakes and ice cream. Live music to round off the brilliant afternoon.

We did like this pub and they stock very good beers, but they seemed to shut quite early or not be open even though they were supposed to be, so you never knew when you could go. We intended to eat one evening but found they were shut (at 8PM!). We did eat there one lunchtime and it was very nice/

We have just had the best fish and chips! The fish was beautifully cooked and lovely chips with a nice crunch! I don’t usually write reviews but I want everyone to know how good these are!!! Really, really good- get down to the Six Bells for a real treat👍👍👍

I’ve always enjoyed visiting this pub. Very friendly. Great Ludlow ale. Food is nice too. Live music outside. Great time had by all.

Fantastic food at reasonable prices. Extremely efficient and friendly staff. Great atmosphere and good beer.

Great scampi or whitebait chips and salad, poor coffee. Lovely outdoor spaces, friendly staff, lovely old fashioed town. once had the best brewery in the region, still got good ales

Visited on holiday and enjoyed music and cider on sunday and fish an chip on wed..excellent service and welcoming staff.little beer garden outside.well worth a visit!

First visit to the Six Bells despite visiting BC annually for a number of years. Not sure how we missed this great pub. Hands down best pub in the area. Great beers and locals very friendly. No frills proper pub and all the better for that.

4 friends visited here on a Wednesday evening as they serve food .Wednesday night is fish and chip night .The fish chips and mushy peas where excellent along with the service .Portion size was large .Service from staff excellent.A lovely evening out would recommend to others to try the Fish and Chip night

Great ales, friendly staff. Lovely location in the beautiful town of Bishops Castle. Well worth a visit. Great outdoor seating area.

Stopped hear for some lunch and both chose something of the special board. I had the macaroni cheese which was absolutely delicious and very moderately priced. Was really impressed with the food and the service.

Great customer service and communication. Had a table outside under cover with fairy lights, gorgeous bbq fish and meat dishes.

No dark ales available, very small but friendly enough. Standard bar offerings, a few light/pale/golden ales and Guinness

Popped in for a meal and a few beers which ended up with all three of us having "Fish n Chips" which was frankly fantastic! It was so good to have such a crackingly excellent simple standard good old fashioned meal. Excellent..!

We love this pub it's a nice place to visit, proper good local pub. Only lager on tap is Carlsberg or Carlsberg export so be aware. Nice ales on though. Really disappointed with the burger and fries though. The burger I found was bland and tasteless. Served with fries and cheese sauce which was OK. For £12.50 it may of just been a bad choice as my partner had the sea bass which she said was tasty. Worth another try having something different. We did find it overpriced though

I went with my wife, great atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent selections of beers. My wife had a very palatable glass of red wine. Open fire in wood burner, we will try some food next time.

Part of a group taking part in a concert at the church opposite. We normally call in for an excellent beer on the day and the choir organise a buffet for us provided by the 6 bells. All very nice. Lovely venue.

Whilst walking around the village following the trail of all the old pubs, we stopped in the Six Bells for a quick drink. The Six Bells does have its own brewery, but when we visited the Head Brewer had just left.We were warmly welcomed by the staff, and the locals in the bar soon made us welcome and included us in their conversation.I can recommend this pub for a great welcome and some very good ales.

Had a very pleasant couple of pints. Very friendly owner & barmaid. Great traditional & dog friendly pub. Hope to return ( visited while camping at Foxholes Campsite)

Very quiet and food only available tomorrow with fish and chips. Cloud nine beer was nice. Appears that regulars keep it going. Shame really.

We called in at the Six Bells on our final night in Bishop's Castle & had a warm welcome from Marina & the 2 dogs! Great beer & friendly company, we'd recommend you give it a try.

A proper old pub, sadly becoming a rarity these days. Good selection of home brewed beers. No music or Tv, just conversation. Friendly locals, by far the best pub in Bishop’s Castle.

..... on Christmas Day of all days! We have been visiting the charming town of Bishops Castle and thought a visit to one of the local pubs a nice idea. Oh dear, we brought young and old in to your pub for a family drink and it was a very poor example of hospitality to both. Will not be returning.

In their on a couple of Sunday afternoons ago,there were more dogs(canine) than customers, big log fire,cracking range of brewed out back beers served by obliging staff, what's wrong with that on a lazy Sunday afternoon?

Booked the curry night a fortnight in advance, acceding to their request to arrive at 7.15 rather than 7. Upon arrival were informed that they no longer do food and that the person who took the booking shouldn't have done so, despite it being advertised on their website and the request for us to arrive at a different time to the one we suggested. Smirking behaviour of the barmaid didn't help. I assume it's changed hands since previous reviews. Shame - let's hope decent management take it over before another lovely old pub disappears.

Nice friendly pub, situated in the lower end of town, down opposite the church. Always enjoy whatever beer I choose on each occasion. Lots of friendly locals it seems. Occasionally had a buffet there courtesy of the local choir and the food has been delicious.

Lovely bar staff, very friendly. Cosy and welcoming. Great selection of gins. If we were to live in Bishop's Castle this would definitely be our local 😁.

Nice little pub. Locals friendly and it's dog friendly too. They do serve food in a small dining area but we didn't try it. Nice atmosphere.

Excellent beers brewed on site. Great welcoming atmosphere. Really dog friendly. Wonderful little pub.

This place reminds me of pubs 40 years ago - jam packed with characters. The beer is very good too. The food from the next door cafe is also great, particularly the salad with sandwiches and incredibly reasonable. We had a bacon and sausage roll, also came with salad that is one of the few my husband will eat voluntarily. The sausage was a good quality one too and all for the very affordable £2.50.

This pub has one of the most impressive selections of beer I've seen in a long time. If you're a beer drinker I would definitely suggest making a stop here!

I loved this pub. Its how they should be. People who criticise this pub don't understand what they should be and that is about the beer and the people. The Six Bells has both these in spades. The beer is very tasty and there should be a strength and style to suit most pallets. The people are very friendly and the size and layout of the bar assists complete strangers to get to know each other - surely that is one of the main points of a pub. Go its brilliant !

After working out way down from the top of the village and being to all the other bars in town, I felt a little let down with this one. It's a lovely old pub with a great inglenook fireplace, but the seating is a little strange, very bright lighting and not much atmosphere. Couple of locals in there, but they left early, then it was just us. Chatty bar staff and very friendly but we only stayed for one.

Looked after by the local choral society in between the rehearsal and the concert. The pub supplied us with a lovely sandwich buffet with delicious soup and cakes to follow. Enjoyed a lovely local beer.

Great little pub..good beer ..lovely fire..very friendly locals..this was our 2nd visit to bishops castle and when we return we will definitely be returning to the six bells.

A lovely little pub that I have visited quite a few times over the years. It's a warm cheerful spot with a nice blend of folks. First a major plus - the food here has massively improved since I last visited: My chicken a mushroom pie was delicious and my wife's fish a chips superb. Well done. The bar-tenders were a couple of very pleasant Polish girls: attentive and fast. Now for the tiny gripes: On the last couple of visits we have been served by a girl called Abbie - a nicer bartender you couldn't wish to meet. A delightfully humorous girl who always remembered our names and our preferred drinks. Sadly I heard she had been 'let go' - a shame. Other tiny gripe - The best beer they produce is the ZEN. However, it is not always on. It should be. A great pint and that slight bit different than their other admittedly excellent brews.

Fantastic pub, one of my favourites in the UK. The Six Bells has a great and totally unique atmosphere - quirky like Bishops Castle but also friendly and very welcoming. The choice and quality of the beers is excellent. They don't do much in terms of food. A few sandwich options. Whilst this might be a negative I don't see it this way. The Six Bells doesn't claim to serve gourmet food and not doing this means it can concentrate on what it excels in - brewing (in its micro brewery) and serving beer in a great place. Would definitely recommend.

Despite being a group of 12 we were served very quickly and all together. The fish & chips were excellent.

Great little find you are made to feel most welcome and dogs are made welcome too with a biscuit. Good...

Twelve of us arrived for a pre-booked dinner and our table was all prepared. As we were ordering drinks a...

First visit to this micro brewery. Good choice of ales and you can take dogs in. Friendly staff and warm welcome

We went for the Friday fish 'n' chips supper (reservations advised) and were not disappointed. The pub is very small, old fashioned and quirky - but has first class beer and service. The food was excellent. If you enjoy high quality cod in crispy, non-greasy batter with great chips AND mushy peas then you're in for a treat. Deservedly popular local venue.

Had a pint of "ow do" don't mind if I do one more ticked off Two brewery's in one village and the six bells didn't disappoint staff and locals very friendly

I arrived at the pub early one Monday evening just for a drink whilst waiting for a lift after a long bike ride. The reception was very lovely, with friendly staff, pub dogs and locals! After a pint of Spikey Blonde, I was offered numerous samples of the other beers brewed on the premises, and felt very at home in a very short time! Thank you!

I went there just for a drink with friends and the beer which has a good reputation was very good. A cozy comfortable pub with a quaint atmosphere

Were on holiday in the area and visited this pub for a quick drink. Landlord very friendly and welcoming. Husband liked the beer very much. Unfortunately did not have time to sample the food. Will return when next in the area.

6 of us had a camping/waking weekend in Bishops Castle and stopped here twice for liquid refreshments then for an evening meal which didn't disappoint. The veggie curries were lovely and all home made. Very warm unpretentious welcome from a proper pub landlord and his team. Great to see Caz making such a success with the Brewery which produces some excellent beers ;)

Visited again as guests of a local group and we were treated to a buffet supplied by the pub. Very tasty selection. Friendly welcome from the staff. Good selection of beer - shame I was driving.

Visited this weekend with friends after a walk. Barman quite the charmer - not! Beers not a patch on other pubs in the town.

Great pub, service beer and food, fish and chip night was good, dog friendly even given biscuits. Favorite pub for beer the whole weekend, they brew all there own

We booked a table for 3 family's, 6 adults and 9children, we had pretty much half the pub to ourselves as there was so many of us, what a welcome we received such a friendly landlady, the real ales all brewed onsite were amazing and the food is in my eyes ridiculously cheep but absolutely great quality. We had a member with a bad leg and the landlord even dropped him back to our campsite once we had finished as there's only 1 taxi driver in the village and he wasn't available. I can't thank these guys enough for there hospitality. I would return to bishops castle again just to go have some ales and great food.

Nine of us went out for an evening meal at this pub. We were made most welcome & the staff were friendly & helpful. The food was wholesome & well cooked & most reasonably priced. There were two vegetarian options & all meals were served with freshly cooked seasonal vegetables. Main course meals were under £8.00 but the quality was not compromised. Members of my group enjoyed beers from a wide range of real ales.

During a camping trip I wanted to sample some beers created by The Six Bells brewery. The pub was very welcoming, as were the staff and locals. All four of us - me, my wife and children - enjoyed the visit and even a game of dominoes. Would definitely recommend it and go back.

Called in for their on-site micro brewery beers after a thirsty walk. Friendly pub with a roaring fire

Popped in for a Restorative drink after a walk over the hills.Super little pub. Some great real ales which the friendly land lord is happy for you to try first. Dogs are welcome, and the resident dogs are so friendly dog and well behaved.We didn't eat, but i think there's food availableSo lovely to be able to sit and chat with no distractions from the TV, slot machines, music etc. Just a proper pub!

We always try to visit the Six Bells at least once a year. When Big Nev sold up 2-3 years ago we worried that someone might come in and change the character of the pub. Fortunately the new owners have kept up the good work and the pub is still one the best you will visit.The bar is just what a proper pub should be. Cosy and unprententious and above all, full of friendly folk. We have never come into this pub and not struck up a conversation with someone. The landlord is very friendly too :-)Now to the main event, the beer! All of the beer is brewed just yards away in the adjacent brewey. Spikey Blonde was my wifes' prefered choice and it was very good but my favourite was Sutra. I think this might be one of their seasonal brews though as some the beers change throughout the year.We didn't eat on this visit, so I can't comment on the food but I hear it is good. Trip Advisor seems focused on hotels or restuarants rather than pubs but my review is based on this being a first class boozer!If like me you like good beer then you can't go wrong here. The traditional and unspoilt bar along with the local friendly faces might be seen as a bonus but it makes this place special. My tip would be to start your BC beer drinking adventure here and make your way up the hill drinking in various pubs as you go and end up in the Three Tuns or Castle Hotel bar.

We dropped in to the Six Bells , a pub (Brewery tap) we have visited in the past. The beer was still excellent, and the atmosphere very friendly. We wished we could have stayed longer.

This is the most dog friendly pub I have ever been in. We first visited on the Friday night which is fish and chips night, the landlord managed to squeeze us in despite not booking, the food was very good, we then sat in the lounge, and had a couple of beers, and we where made very welcome, Saturday was also very good, the chef even gave our dog a lamb bone to chew on. Great place beer also very good, will be returning very soon.

this pub is our local proper pub good beer good company best fish and chips any where what more do you need

We were in Shropshire escaping the 'Christmas Experience' in our home city of Bath, Somerset. We wanted peace & quiet, nothing commercial, minimal frill and fuss and did we ever pick the perfect spot here.This is a pub from another age and is the tap for the Six Bells Brewery on site - and on a site stinking of history (as is most of the village) As a pub it goes back to the mid 1700's and is now a Grade II listed building of the traditional two room layout, with a public bar and lounge - the lounge doubling as a dining area, tastefully decorated in cottage style. The name is taken from the nearby church of St John the Baptist (also worth a visit) whose tower does indeed host 6 bells.Formerly a coaching inn, the Six Bells serviced coaches and horses travelling the Kerry Ridge-way, the ancient main route from London to mid Wales.The bar is very traditional, with its low beams, copper-work and exposed stone walls. There is no jukebox, piped musak or fruit machines here, but instead settles, arranged so people can actually talk to each other (quite a novel innovation) The landlord was affable and garrulous and explained some interesting aspects about the history of the establishment and brewery. Recommending The Spikey Blonde (abv 4%) was a good choice of tipple – especially as I had one with me. Deservedly winning area Pub of the Year in 2015, and currently in the 2017 Good Beer Guide, the beers are excellent.

I'm not a beer drinker but my husband & sons are real ale lovers. They thought the beer was so good (the pub has it's own brewery) we returned for more. Very good price too & very friendly landlady.

Tap for 6 Bells which now supplies Wetherspoons amongst others, beers are kept well and consistent, Spiky Blond a personal fav, food is fine, not the cleanest establishment but its a country town pub not a restaurant, there are a couple of older customers who dominate the bat with their personal views the when in and like to block strangers from checking the pumps for whats on.

A real boozer with their brewery to the rear serving excellent cask ales . Great barmaid , lovely locals - so nice to come across a proper old pub

Horrible dirty unkempt old pub grubby tables weed filled courtyard full of old ale drinkers, it's supposed to be a great pub but I hated it terrible service

Very friendly staff and customers, As first time visitors we (dog too) were made to feel like we were as welcome as the regulars. Great range of real ales made by their own brewery. Will definitely re-visit.

They brew their own beer at this pub and it's all good stuff ,if I'm not mistaken at least six ales to try at any one time. Friendly staff and customers .

No juke box blaring, no TV droning on and on, no pool table taking over the room, just great beer (brewed 50yds away!) and great craic with the locals - what else do you need?

I visited this pub with a group of 8 friends while on a walking/cycling holiday. We were impressed when they told us they make their own beer on the site and were given a guided tour of the micro brewery. Very clean and professional looking and the final product tasted good. Bar staff and locals were friendly.

We called here off the bat, for Sunday lunch, ok because we had not booked we had to wait, and it was not a over long wait, at all,, the food arrived hot and just enough to leave you wanting a pud. The food was of a good pub standard, veg was over done a bit for my own liking, but there was a lot of older people in that day,, so maybe they were catering for the toothless more so, the beef was fair,, by no means the worst i have had, and over all we all came out feeling full and happy. So no complaints, but then again i cant praise it either, it is what it is,, good pub Sunday lunch,,in a pub, so dont expect 5 star service.

We had a meal in the six bells bank holiday weekend. Unsure what to expect as it seems more of a drinkers pub in the town, we were pleasantly surprised. The menu is limited, your traditional pub grub but the quality was really good. I had the beef and local ale pie and my husband had the gammon. The food was lovely really could not fault it and the best value meal we have had in a very long time! The staff were very friendly and welcoming and it was clear to see that all the other dinners present were as impressed as we were with thd quality of the food. If we return to the area we will definitely be back and would strongly recommend.

The food here is very yummy! I'm vegan and had called ahead to enquire if they could accommodate me. They could and when we arrived they actually had options for me! This is extremely rare, even for vegetarians, but a vegan to have options at a pub is amazing! The food was great and the chips are particularly delicious. Our server, Rose, was great! She actually was bar staff, but she noticed we weren't being looked after so she took our orders and was extremely friendly and all around a great waitress. We left a tip and I really hope it goes to Rose as she was awesome.

Lovely tea, cakes, people. Highly recommend for afternoon tea or with family or friends! Very nice pub also with a wide selection of beers.

Dropped in for a quick pint & was happy to find out they have their own brewery. Top quality beer & friendly staff. Worth a visit.

Lovely little pub in the town of Bishops castle, went in for their Sunday lunch with my nan and grandad , ordered the food which was severed promptly and they offered beef , pork , chicken and a vegetarian option. The food was great and service was brilliant as well waitress was very attentive throughout the whole experience

Really like several of the pubs in the town but this is definitely our favourite. Went in 8 times in 4 days. Popped in when finished walking each lunchtime then again later at night. Friendly locals and a proper traditional pub feel. Didn't get to try it but there is also a cafe at the side of the pub now - can only eat a big breakfast and dinner but not manage a lot in between. Cafe appears to do some very good food.

We dropped into the Six Bells one quiet Tuesday lunchtime, having enjoyed a long romp with three dogs in the nearby fields. We were warmly welcomed by Sue who presides over the bar. Two charming young ladies came and offered the dogs treats from their hands, which went down well with my two who aren't always the best behaved. This was their first ever visit to a pub so it was great for it to be associated with a pleasant experience for them. My friend had a bowl of delicious, spicy carrot soup (which I ate most of) followed by equally delicious baguettes with prawns and salad. Washed down with two or three glasses of their own brewed Spiky Blond beer, it was a treat. I could not resist a slice of Sue's home made cake, it was a big slab of Victoria sponge and exactly as Victoria sponge should be. Served with a big pot of Earl Grey, what could be nicer? The traditional interior and welcoming homely atmosphere make this a delightful venue and I hope to visit frequently in the future, ideally when my dog has learned to be less barky with the other canine denizens.

We visited the Six Bells on the Bishops Castle Real Ale Trail which is held every July and not to be missed if you love real ale. Bishops Castle has six pubs and 2016 was the 20th Real Ale Trail, its fantastic.The pub has its own brewery, one of two in this small town and there are a good range of home grown beers to be had but during the real ale trail there is massive choice of guest beers brought in from all over the country.When we visited on Real Ale Trail Saturday the courtyard was packed with revellers enjoying the beers and local bands, a traction engine entertained with rides for the very brave. The pub itself is at the bottom of the town and is quite small with two old fashioned rooms and is usually occupied with regulars and walkers who use the town as a base for hiking the Shropshire hills. Visit during the real ale trail weekend however and you will be having fun with hundreds of like minded souls in town for a tour of the six pubs which often begins or ends at the Six Bells.Definitely recommended at any time but especially during Real Ale Trail weekend.

Fantastic beer, dog friendly and great building. Staff were helpful and friendly to all.Highly recommended.

Been a number of times and sampled some fine ales. Mainly after taking part in a concert in the nearby church.This time a buffet tea was organised for us at the pub. Great buffet and a great choice of local beers. Always a friendly welcome.

Did not eat here but came often on our weeks holiday as loved the beer and the atmosphere of the pub, no airs and graces just good down to earth village pub, we love them after a long walk.

Lovely setting, great food, not expensive!Only complaint, restaurant quite cold, had to keep my jacket on. Would definitely recommend though. Dog friendly

Visited for a quick drink and the locals made us feel very welcome. A warming log burner and pub cat made it very welcoming too.

We walked in here to a lovely log fire and warm welcome from both the staff and locals. There is a nice choice of real ales and they also offer your dog a treat too

Great beer, great fire, great friendly clientele.did have food just beer! Lovely place to spend an evening with the dog.

Popped in mid-week afternoon to try the beers- not disappointed! 6 on draft, all brewed on the site and a range from pale to porter. Bar maid was very welcoming and we got chatting to a couple of locals. Didn't eat so can't comment. Would definitely recommend if you are on the beer trail. Much quieter than some of the pub's in Bishops Castle.

my wife and i spent a thoroughly enjoyable midweek couple of hours in the six bells . we planned a quick pint but ended up staying a couple of hours sampling several of their brews.... if you're into real ale you can't go wrong . no food midweek , but great beers and a good chat with the friendly landlord . we hope to return soon

We came in on spec to find out whether they could fit us in on a Saturday night, and were surprised to find the dining room completely empty, particularly as we'd seen several reserved tables when we'd dropped in for a drink the previous night. Then we found out that the pub has recently changed hands and the new chef is in the middle of revamping the menu. We were given menus, which turned out to bear little relationship to what was actually available. There was no vegetarian dish listed, although the website had said they offered vegetarian options, so we queried this, and after checking with the chef, the barperson told us there were four options available: two kinds of curry, veggie sausages, or veggie lasagne, though on further enquiry it turned out they'd run out of veggie lasagne. My partner chose veggie sausages, I chose the smoked mackerel starter from the menu so I could have room left for the home-made crumble, then it turned out they'd run out of smoked mackerel too. But yes, they would do me some prawns with bread and salad instead, and the chef came out to ask how I would like them cooked – I accepted his offer of chilli/garlic/ginger with lemon and parsley, which was very nice though I think another time I'd ask him to hold the ginger as it muddied the flavour a little. The bar was busy with locals, the real ale from their micro-brewery was excellent, the wine average, and the pub cat endearing. The food was also excellent. My partner so enjoyed his veggie sausages, with mash and veg and a tasty buttery mustard sauce, that he argued I should give five stars for this review. But I'm writing it, not him, and in my judgement it wasn't a five-star experience, though it definitely has five-star potential, and I expect it will realise that potential soon. I loved my prawns, which were served in their spicy dressing with thick-sliced white toast, butter on the side, and a tasty side salad with sliced cucumber, very thinly sliced carrot, halved cherry tomatoes, and good quality mixed leaves including radicchio (and no red onion, hurrah!) in a light balsamic dressing. There were two options for home-made crumble, apple and rhubarb or apple and whinberry, I'd never met the latter so enquired and discovered they are a kind of wild blueberry which are locally foraged from the Long Mynd, so I had to try that, and I was glad I did. They're sourer and more tangy than the cultivated blueberry, and there were lots of them in the crumble, giving a pleasing dark purple sauce which contrasted well with the custard, and a great flavour. The crumble topping was standard flour/butter/sugar, the portion generous, and I enjoyed it very much.They source as many of their ingredients locally as they can. This is never going to be a slick place with highly trained front-of-house staff, but if you're after really good food in a friendly atmosphere, you'll find it here.

Good range of beer and a nice menu of homemade pub grub. Good roast dinner at weekends. Food service can be a bit slow, but quality is good. Staff are cheerful and friendly.

Cracking little pub in the market town of Bishops Castle. Totally unpretentious and a warm welcome assured. Fantastic selection of real ales, all brewed on the premises, together with very good and reasonably priced food. If you are impressed by plush decor and furnishings this won't be the place for you, if, on the other hand, you appreciate a real old fashioned friendly pub you will love it here.

Lovely pub, old fashioned and down to earth. Good value food. Good beer selection. Definitely a pub to visit.

Great food...great beer and friendly staff and a super atmosphere what is not to like????The fish and chips on Friday were simply superb nice light crunchy batter over a fresh piece of cod with good chips! See you soon!!!!

We dodged in here to try a beer or two! We had great chats with locals and the bar staff were really friendly. It's small and traditional. Lovely place

Go out of your way to visit this traditional inn! A wide range of fabulous ales on offer, friendly staff, old building with lots of character and live music on a Thursday.....can't remember the band names but they were talented and popular judging by the number of people there. The bands play outside on a stage area of sorts behind the inn. A memorable evening was had.

A real pub with terrific beer. Nowt fancy. Old fashioned proper English pub. Food? Well I saw some pork scratchings. The beer is made in the back yard brewery.

Great pub with its own brewery attached. Statndards are every bit as good here after the recent change in ownership. Beer still first class.

Lovely friendly traditional pub which produces its own beer and also offers a range of traditional country wines. Lovely wood burner in the winter.

Great little pub with some very entertaining locals. Good ales from its own microbrewery. Dog friendly. Rated it 'very good' but the meals could be better.

Just called in after a walk. The beer was excellent. The welcome was excellent from the landlord. Its a dog friendly establishment, they provide free biscuits.

This pub has a very friendly atmosphere . When my wife and I first visited this pub we sat in the bar and enjoyed a pint of the 'Summer Lovin' ale brewed on the premises. We were soon joined by a party of walkers ( with their dogs) and the atmosphere was brilliant. Our second visit was for a meal and we both enjoyed a wonderful meat pie , with the lightest crust I have ever eaten and veg cooked to perfection. Well worth a visit.

We are three retired friends in our 60's who like hill walking and the odd beer or three!!On the 15th June I had made arrangements with Caz to have a trip around the brewery. We were met by Caz who gave us a brief insight to the brewing game. We then had a beer before being given a wonderful in depth account of the day to day brewing of these beers by Douglas.Douglas has some wonderful stories to tell how he helped first to set up the brewery and the installing of the vessels and holding tanks, it was truly an interesting hour or so.We returned to the pub twice more during to the evening and were warmly greeted by the staff and the loyal clients they have- we immediately felt like "locals". The beers were in fine condition and we sampled a few!We just wish we had a pub of this quality near us, if we lived closer this would certainly be "our local". Thank you Caz for a great afternoon and evening - we may be back!!
