This year - Bitter great value @ £2.90 per pint!

Real Ale Chosen By An Expert

Each year we serve between 25 and 30 different real ales. These are chosen for us by Roger Jackson, landlord of the Anglesey Arms, Halnaker and of four other famous local pubs before that. Roger is a tremendous supporter of the small, independent brewery, and each year selects some old favourites, some of the most recent award winners from the most recent CAMRA Great British Beer Festival, and some more unusual beers to tickle the palate.

Perfectly Presented and Served

We have invested in high quality stillage and cooling equipment and pride ourselves on serving a perfect pint. For years we have used proper glasses, not plastic, but finally we have succumbed to pressure from the Health and Safety brigade and will be using high quality plastic glasses this year. As ever we shall have a small army of empty glass collectors and washer-uppers to ensure you have a fresh glass for every pint. And our prices are reasonable too.

What, you don't like real ale?

If you are a lager drinker, be reassured that we will have a high quality foreign brewed lager for you. If you like the black stuff, expect Guinness or Murphy's. If you're into bottled beers, we shall have a good selection. If you're a cider drinker, we will have a small selection on draught.

Or a glass of wine? We have a separate wine bar that will serve a good range of wines of all complexions, again at reasonable prices. Also soft drinks and new this year, a Pimms bar.

If it's a dram you're after, you will have to go elsewhere, as we feel that spirits are out of keeping with the atmosphere of our event.

The Small Print on Sobriety

We want all our customers to have a good time, and the real ale and wine will surely contribute to it. But in the interests of public safety and our licence, our staff are instructed not to serve alcohol to persons who move beyond the state of being merry to being legless.
