Pilot Inn, Berwick-Upon-Tweed

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.

This is a regional heritage pub and is a quick five minute walk from the Castle Hotel near the train station. The landlord was friendly and chatty and was proud to show us old photos of the pub and also gave us a guided look around. The pub consists of the main bar and front room, over on the right of entrance. A smaller room on the left with open fireplace and a snug behind the bar. The entrance has a fine display of mosaic floor tiles and the main bar area has a display of nautical instruments across the ceiling. Three ales on our visit, we went for the Cameron's Gold Bullion and the Hadrian and Border Buster Ganads.
