A traditional style micropub , seating is a mix of normal tables and chairs with some bench seating. Only two of the four handpumps were in action with Heritage Oatmeal Stout and Falstaff A Fistful Of Hops being the choice with the latter being a decent pint. The keg selection was disappointing with a selection of Lagers and some corparate craft, Goose Island and Blue Moon etc. The welcome was friendly from both the regulars and landlady, a decent community pub but theres not enough going on here beer wise to draw me back.

This is a proper micropub with no TVs or music. It's a small roughly square room with a small bar counter to the left. As well as the usual pump clips and hops there are some items of Post Office bric-a-brac. In addition to the four hand pumps there are a few keg options on the bar. One of the hand pumps was unused leaving Cotleigh Old Buzzard, Tydd Steam Barn Ale and Westgate Classic Blonde. I went for the Old Buzzard which was hazy warm and tasted sour. I got that changed for the Westgate Blonde which was warm but didn't smell or taste sour. I got the impression that the cellar was right underneath the bar counter. If it isn't chilled then that would explain the poor beer quality. I noticed the only two others in were drinking the lager. Although it was a hot day I still thought it was pretty poor, especially given that it's GBG 2018 listed.

The Last Post is a small micro pub that is close to the junction with Ashbourne Road and Uttoexeter Old Road. Once inside there is a small room with the bar to the rear left,the floor is bare boarded and the seating is pew seats and a window seat,which is where i sat,there were loads of pump clips around the room. There were four real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Scarborough Citra which went down well,the other beers noted were 4Ts american Woman,Muirhouse Pirates Gold and North Brewery Bonfire Toffee Stout. There was also a decent choice of single malts. I thought this was a decent enough micro pub. Pub visited 5/11/2016
