Grey Horses Inn, Worksop

The village of Carlton in Lindrick is easily reached by the number 21 or 22 bus from Worksop. One of 3 pubs in the village. The other 2 are on the main road. The Grey Horses is tucked away down a side road. We sat in the front bar, where there were a group of 4 or 5 people already in, along with a dog. There is a larger lounge to the rear, which we didn't explore. I couldn't tell if there were any other customers in there. 4 real ales were on, 1 of which wasn't listed on the blackboard adjacent to the bar. The selection was Three Brothers Au, Welbeck Abbey Red Feather & Skylight & Theakston Old Peculier. I tried both the Au and the Skylight and found them as befits a Good Beer Guide entry. There was no real cider. Neither was there any sign of food being served. Although perhaps the lounge was more suited to diners. There was however a reasonable snack selection.

This pub is really good for kids as well as adults because there is a beer garden where they can play together and the current owners, Sally and Chris Redzia, have two children, Amy and Billy Redzia who, if they are allowed and want to, will play with you too.
