The Blue Cow, Grantham

This lovely old stone-built village local has what looks to be fake half-timbering added to the facade. Inside there is more room than you might expect, with three rooms at the front - a public bar with TV & pool table, exposed stone walls and a combination of flag stones and tiles on the floor, a small snug with deep chairs and a sofa, plus a dining room - and a larger room at the other side of the bar, which I didn't explore. There seemed to be only one hand pump, but I wasn't complaining as it was serving the previously unknown to me Blue Cow Best Bitter, which is brewed on the premises. This was an excellent 4.2% ale which went down a treat with me. Definitely one to bear in mind when next in the area.
