The Stoneworks, Peterborough

Stoneworks is a long thin bar with armchairs, sofas and patio furniture found along its length. There is also a shuffleboard table. The back music was grungy, which I quite like so a tick from me. The bar counter on the rear wall has a large selection of craft beers and after gorging myself on Peterborough’s plentiful supply of Plum Porter I quite fancied a stout. Even though there were four choices the lowest abv was 7%, which is a bit much for a crawl, so I went for a can of Brass Castle’s Bad Kitty Vanilla Stout that was 5% and lovely gear. There’s no food but take-away can be eaten. Yes, this is a trendy bar, and I was a bit older than the other three customers, but the barmaid was very friendly and there was a good atmosphere, especially on a quiet evening. I’d have no problem revisiting.

Long thin shop conversion with the counter at back raised up like some altar to craft. 26 taps on the back wall with a hard to read angled thin blackboard above each. Luckily they’d just had a Kirkstall Tap takeover and 10 of their beers were on , so familiar ground if not dispense. Usual eclectic furniture for these places. It was fairly quiet when I visited so didn’t suffer the old man invisibility that Will attracted.
