The Greasley Castle, Nottingham

No longer owned by Greene King, it's now a Pub People pub, with the same landlord as when I was here in 2017. He now has Bass as a regular, with a couple of local beers as guests. I called in while the pub crawl I was on was in the Tap & Growler over the road. The Bass here was in excellent condition, and there was a lively Friday afternoon crowd in here. Eastwood is known for the profusion of micropubs that have sprung up, but it's worth going off-piste for this one too.

Poor pub. Long room with bar to right side. Nothing really worth drinking so we had to resort to Strongbow. That says it all.

The Greasley Castle is in the hilltop area of Eastwood and it is quite close to the Man in Space. Once inside there are a couple of rooms and i have usually had a drink in the bar which is fairly basic,the pub used to be a Kimberley tied house and there were two real ales on the bar i had a drink of Kimberley bitter and this was a very nice drink here the other beer was Kimberley mild. Now that GK have taken over and closed Kimberley brewery down i car'nt see them keeping small basic locals like the Greasley Castle on. Pub first visited 14/12/1982 Photo taken 5/7/2006
