We had high hopes for this sister pub to the Westbridge and thankfully they were realised on our last visit. It's not huge, with a bar space at the front with stools and ledges to lean on around the room. Granted, with some 15 taps on the bar and the rather large selection of bottled beers available, the bar area does take up quite a bit of room. And that set us a real dilemma: what to have. If anything, it's verging on too much choice. In the end we settled for the Porterhouse Red, from London's Porterhouse Brewery; it is good to see a pub support local beers as well as the international imports. Like the Westbridge, they do a "Pint of thirds" tasting menu which does cover some of the bases if you want to try a selection of their range. The staff also know quite a bit about beer and are very helpful should any questions arise. A larger room at the back may allow expansion, but it was set for lunch when we were in last - who knows, it may go a bit more casual at night, we'll have to go back and see. The food menu looks good, there's also a decent wine list and they have a proper selection of whisky to go with it. It would be very easy to stay here for days. Frankly, it's pretty damn close to heaven as far as we're concerned.
