Old Millwrights Arms, Aylesbury

Sizeable corner pub, partially opened-up a some stage to leave a 'L'-shaped bar with a further seating / dining area beyond. Attractively refurbished by Greene King in a semi-modern style with a mix of furniture and generally light decor. Pretty good selection from seven of nine handpumps, ranging from the inevitable IPA and Old Speckled Hen, through Olde Trip and London Glory to the rum-infused Rumrunner, with Chiltern Brewery Gold and Beechwood Bitter (£3.50) available as guests.

To be honest after reading the previous reviews on here I figured that it was pretty much a done deal that this would not be a great pub, however being that I was in the guest house down the road I thought I would give it a try this afternoon, and was more than pleasantly surprised, I have never seen such an array of hand pulls and well kept beer, even some of the local CAMRA boys were quaffing away in the "cool" seats opposite the bar. Food was not being served as it was mid afternoon, but the menu looked quite extensive and I will be back
