The Free Trade, Berwick-Upon-Tweed

A CAMRA Inventory pub of National Importance (unaltered since 1910) and well-worth it's place. On entering there’s an entry corridor fashioned from head-height wood partitions with a dropped entrance to the main bar. This is a small and simple affair with tongue and groove wood panelling and blue lino. Pool room to the rear, which is much less interesting. A darts match was in full swing on my visit meaning I had to find myself a space at the servery (not that there really was any). Three pumps with a turned clip so a nasty sweet keg Belhaven Best had to do. Well-worth dropping in for a nose but beware that opening hours are really sporadic, indeed the only time I saw it open during my four days in Berwick was the Monday night!
