picture of Dog and Partridge
As the nearest pub to the Greene King brewing complex, and with the attached accommodation seemingly located in the old brewmaster's home (all rooms with free WiFi connectivity), one imagines that the Dog & Partridge is something of a showpiece for the company. Given the unpopularity with which they have been regarded of late in some beer-buff circles, we are pleased to report that indeed, it succeeds in showing Greene King at their best. It's a lovely, well-maintained, gently sprawling pub, with several rooms, each of which has its own distinct atmosphere, so that pool-players or football-watchers will not disturb those out for a quiet sip, friendly staff, a food menu, and a great drinking area in two courtyards at the back. The range of beers is less impressive than you might expect, and contained nothing out of the ordinary on our visit, but this is a relatively small quibble, as the Dog & Partridge offers top quality hospitality.
