The Ale Taster in Huntingdonshire

Been here a few times. First couple of times, seemed like it was for superior-feeling beer snobs, but the last time the staff were really helpful.

Only two ales on on the last visit. So I've rated 3 stars instead of the previous 5.

Excellent pint as always, straight from the barrel. A must visit if you're in St Neots

Great place for a quality beer, friendly atmosphere and relaxed environment. Five stars.

Unpretentious small pub in quiet street with great range of beers. No parking on the street but 1 minute walk from town car park. Has a garden area though I didn't see it

Fantastic pubs with lots of wonderful craft beers and ciders, so many options! Highly recommend if you live local/craft beer and cider. Fair price too.

If you like real ale.... It's the place to go

Great Ales and great atmosphere... Great choice!

Lovely little tucked away micro pub. Good atmosphere and service and great selection of drinks

Popped in for a drink with a friend. Great service from friendly staff.

This is, without a doubt, the most interesting establishment in the town. Beers are varied and brilliant, love the staff. It’s super simple. Great combo, great prices. Love coming here.

Great pub, friendly staff and a fantastic place to meet friends and socialise.

Didn't try any food, but the range of drinks they have are brilliant and always updating so you get to try more and more great ones. Would recommend. I love it every time I go.

Great pub hidden away a little bit from the main Town Centre streets. Extensive choice of drinks all appearing to be kept in great condition. Very busy but still comfortable with a good friendly buzz about the place. Highly recommended!

Proper pub, real beer. Nothing fancy, and not territorial.

Great place! Good selection of beers and in fridge. Love the way they are pulled straight from the barrel. Friendly and good atmosphere.

Lovely cream stout. Good selection of beers and ciders.

Vegan lager? Tasted great. Didn't eat.

Brilliant pub, great range of beers and a friendly crowd. Dog friendly and they even have bar billiards.

Categorically the Best pub in St Neots. Excellent selection of Ales and really friendly landlord

Lovely place especially if u like real ale and real cider no draught ale but lovely friendly staff and customers and they are dog friendly as well

Very cool way to serve traditional cask ale. Publican is very proud of taking good care of his ales.

Lovely place, always enjoy a drink here

Cozy micro pub with ales straight from the cask as well as a small range of craft beer on tap, there's a small range of mainly Belgian bottles and a well considered choice of spirits. Bar billiards and dominos as well as other table top games are available to while away a few hours with friends in this tucked away local and friendly bar.

Horrendous customer service. The owner stood over our dogs aggressively which made them bark, understandably. He then proceeded shout at us and kick our group out because of the barking! Comical.

Great range of beers at fair prices, especially after recent inflation! If only every town had one of these.

Interesting real ale/specialist pub set in quiet side street only opens a few hours at set times daily.

Lovely pub, tucked away down a side street. The owner and his wife are so friendly, good atmosphere, enjoyed the milk stout on offer.

Love this place. Great selection of Ales and Ciders, along with all the top shelf stuff too. Thoroughly recommended 👌

A great place to taste lovely still cider s nice owners and lovely quirky bar yes I would come again great price

Very nice choice of ales, staff friendly as were the locals

Great selection of beer, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere

A great micropub just outside the center of St Neots. The cask ales rotate frequently. There is also a selection of low alcohol beers and craft drinks. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Always a pleasure to visit.

Love this pub, fantastic friendly owners, always immaculate with a great selection of drink! Will be back soon 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Really comfortable and welcoming pub with great selection of real ales, craft ales, ciders. The beer was in excellent condition, pity we couldn't have stayed longer

Brilliant pub, great selection of beers of all kinds on draught and bottled beers. Really friendly owners and setting. If you like variety, local beers and unique brews this is the place to come in St Neots.

Great pub, have visited a few times since moving to St Neots, and it's our favourite.

Great list of beers on tap, friendly, great atmosphere

Great little pub. Popular, but always manage to find somewhere to sit. Welcomes well behaved dogs. Great beer. Chilli nuts are a nice treat. Lovely and clean throughout. Limited opening hours, but that's their perogative.

First time visiting this pub. I was having a nice drink with my dad on Christmas Eve, I decided to show my dad a quick 20 second video on my iPhone and the barman/owner very rudely asked us to turn it down as apparently the noise was travelling the pub (it really wasn’t as I am always very considerate of people). The relatively few number of people in the bar on Christmas Eve were chatting and no one was concerned by us playing this 20 second video. The bar lady who served us was really lovely so no issues there at all, however the sheer and unnecessary rudeness of the barman/ owner was such that we will never step foot in this establishment again and as a St Neots family shall be warning our family and many friends to AVOID!!! I very rarely write negative reviews as I always like to support small local businesses however I am so offended by the bad service we received. Really disappointing!

Great beer selection and in very good condition , lovely people too

Excellent staff . Superb range of beers. Recommend for gluten free beer. Superb

I love this pub, for me it is the pub with the best drinks in England (that I know of, of course) I have to say that the toilet is the cleanest I have experienced in England. And very good service. Congratulations to the owners!

Good quality beers very friendly staff and customers would recommend visiting

Wide range of ales. Lovely atmosphere, nice outdoor seating. Friendly staff

Possibly one of the best pubs I have ever been too. Quaint and cosy inside, with a vast selection of beer, ale and cider. Towards the back there are several fridges bursting with craft beer. We nabbed a couple of pints and purchased some spicy nuts - which were delicious and cheap! If you are dipping your toe into craft beer or real ale or are a beer connoisseur, this place caters to both. As a bonus it was dog friendly too. We definitely will be back soon.

Lovely pub and owners, with outstanding beers and more than acceptable prices. I come down from Lincoln to visit a friend and this has become a staple stop off for us. Had a couple of hours in there last time and the feel of the place is just very homely. Made the mistake of moving on to The Coach House later on however. Shorts are illegal there! Will be sticking with The Ale Taster from now on.

First time back for two years . Love those fridge beers

Really nice place if you like your real ales, staff know what they're doing

I love their selection of not just beers but ciders too. The staff are really friendly and helpful, the seating area outside is nice and warm. Dog friendly!

A fine place to drop in for a real ale or cider after Booze on the Ouse.

Great back street pub, good selection of real ale, keen prices, nice atmosphere.

Very pleasant people and great beers

Great atmosphere, great prices!

Very nice cozy place offering a range of beers that you won't find in a regular pub. Definitely worth a visit!

Lovely place to try non traditional beers and ales, will definitely come back!

Very friendly good choice of beers

Very good Ale, nice welcoming owners!

No nonsense, wide selection of great beers and ciders

Brilliant atmosphere & beer & wine

Impressive cider and real ale selection.

Nice inside/outside set up at the back of the pub

Always a warm welcome here... Great beers too👍

Really friendly staff and a great selection of beer.. Quirky garden too 🙂🍺🍺

Best pub in St Neots, great selection of beers and ales and fab service. Highly recommended.

A warm welcome and delicious range of beers make this a great pub to take friends to push their boundaries

Friendly pub, lovely staff, nice choice of ale

Fantastic little pub with a great selection of drinks.

My favourite little pub in st Neots. Always welcoming and friendly.

Great draught ales and a lot of UK and foreign bottled beers. Great relaxed atmosphere. We need to support these pubs.

If you want to see how a pub can be covid secure, this is it. Socially distanced seating, traffic light controlled toilets, tables and seating cleaned between users, good beer and still a pub atmosphere - fantastic

Brilliant staff, good drinks even for those not drinking alcohol, gotta love it

Great micro pub. Family run business who care about their customers. Not only do they have a wide range of local beers, spirits and ciders but are well informed on all. Very clean and hygienic and all around amazing people.

Brilliant local pub with friendly staff and an excellent selection of beer.

Still one of the best places in St Neots for an excellent choice of ale, keg, craft, cider & bottles.

A fantastic proper pub. An amazing range of ales on tap and huge selection of craft ales in the extensive fridges. Great atmosphere and lovely landlord and landlady. I highly recommend a regular visit to this independent pub, even for just for a pint and 3D noughts and crosses.

Really nice pub. Friendly staff, lots of beers to choose from and more choices of Gin than you can shake a juniper bush at.

Excellent choice of real ales friendly pub if you like a real ale its amust

A fabulous local pub which has an exceptional selection of quality beers and ciders. If I didn't live in a different town I would become a permanent resident.

Can't find too many pubs or bars around which offer a wide variety of sour beers, but this one does the job nicely. I do not live anywhere near St. Neots, but when I'm in town I'll always drop by for a brew. The staff are knowledgeable and the atmosphere is calm.

What a hidden gem. Great selection of bottled and draft beers and a shame I couldn't stay longer. But its on my bookmarked list to return to when in the area again 👍 ps 20% discount on take out 😊

Didn’t know this little gem was in St Neots. Great Ale, Pork Pie was to die for and the gin menu looks great. Friendly and welcoming staff, thanks

Great place for a quiet beer or cider

Great pub. Love the cider choices

Great wee pub with lots of fun games. Good selection of beers and wine. Will be back for more.

Fantastic little pub, serving small batch craft ales. A great place for a quiet drink, or for of school pub games.

Great place if you love your real ale and ciders !! Lots of different ciders and real ale on offer. Large amount of bottled beer for sale too !! Never seen so many different types for sale outside of a specialist off licence.

Great beer, great service. Really nice owners.

Amazing place, friendly atmosphere and a great choice of beer, lagers and ales. It's off of town but we'll worth the visit

Lovely tiny pub with retro music you'll start to sing without even noticing. The owners are a very lovely couple. Beer garden, old school games, good choices of original drinks. What else?

Hidden gem in St Neots. Definitely worth a visit - not just for real and fans.

Great prices, great atmosphere with really friendly staff.

Great pub with great beers and cider!

What a superb find - tip top beer and great locals atmosphere

Great drinking pub with a rotating selection of 6 ales on gravity as well as ciders with good amount being local. Small selection of snacks to compliment a pint

Always a great pint, offers something different from the boring commercial stuff available everywhere else. Very affordable too!

What an awesome little pub! Loved it

Great beer. Great choice. Very helpful landlord.

Nice pub, great staff, great beer selection

Excellent pub, great selection of beers and gin! Loved it and close to campsite.
