Pilot Inn, Berwick-Upon-Tweed

The Pilot is a backstreet local, a little away from the centre of town. I made a beeline for the front room with access to the bar (to the right-hand side of the central corridor). So, I didn't get chance to explore the other rooms. I assume this is the most popular drinking area, as it was fairly busy and meant I had to share a large table with what appeared to be a fellow beer/pub nut, who proceeded to list and talk about seemingly every pub in Northumberland! Whether there was even anybody else in the other rooms, I'll never know! 3 real ales were on - Rigg & Furrow Run Hop Run, Harviestoun Bitter & Twisted and Morland Old Speckled Hen. The real cider was Thistly Cross Whisky Cask. Worth getting (stumbling in my case) out of town to.

Dropped in with a few minutes to kill before my train. The place was quite lively, with locals calling in for a pint on their way home from work. Three real ales on the bar: Wells Bombardier, Caledonian Deuchars IPA and Broughton Exciseman 80/-. I went for the latter, which was ok but nothing special. Worth a visit if you're doing the other real ale pubs in the town.
