The Minster Tavern, Ely

Minster Tavern official site with menu and event details - www.minstertavernely.co.uk

Nice-looking pub near the cathedral. Opened out inside to leave a modern 'L'-shaped bar with a further dining area up one step beyond. Not a lot of chatacter has survived the refurbishments, but there are some interesting local history photographs on the walls. Typical Stonegate menu. Four handpumps, offering TT Landlord, Doom Bar, Cumberland, and EPA (£2.55). (NB - Review dates from August 2012.)

Comfortable rambling old pub near the cathedral. Beams, different seating areas and slight quirkyness make it interesting, but it could feel a lot 'older' as some of the modern inclusions slightly ruin the effect, but its a nice place. A lighter brick extension at the rear, Sky sports, loudish piped chart music. The blackboard somewhat cheesily advises of the resident ghost. The Marstons EPA was actually better then I get in its homeland Midlands, but possibly because it was Cask Marque cool temperature. Other beers were Sharps Doom and Taylors Landlord
