Steve C left this review about The Ostrich

The Ostrich is a U-shaped pub with beer shelves and high stools up the right and standard seating the left were a television sits on the front wall. The central bar counter faces the rear where a door leads to a well-tended beer garden full of benches and plentiful greenery. In the front right window is a stage area and regular live music is advertised. This isn’t the biggest place, so I bet it gets very cosy in here at the weekend. The walls are busy with framed pictures and posters and there’s a small exposed HVAC unit on the ceiling, I imagine to extract the weekend sweat clouds.
The five cask ales available were a very nice Titanic Cherry Porter alongside Tydd Steam Brewery’s Snake Eyes, Woodforde’s Wherry, Stewart’s 80 Shilling and Rooster’s Echo Chamber. A choice of premium and craft keg lagers and ciders were also available. There was only a handful of people in late afternoon, but there was a good atmosphere. I would have no issues revisiting here when next in Peterborough.

Nice old building a bit messed about inside but not without some charm, there are various spaces and the counter is sort of back to front, 6 pulls with one for cider, with beers from far and wide, they had a bit of a Yorkshire thing with North Riding and Saltaire in evidence on my visit, the beer mats were from Ilkley and the beer engines from Angram. Good number of interesting kegs as well. Fairly raucous clientele but fortunately the back garden attracted the noisier element but sadly left some bar blockers in situ. Beer ok but I had a poor mild so maybe that's not popular in these parts, and perhaps it does deserve its GBG entry.

Tidy, nicely refurbed pub near the Shopping Centre. Back street local, modernised but still retaining a nice feel. Two bars have been opened up around central server facing the rear. Small patio area.

Beer quality was excellent
