The Bumble Inn, Peterborough

A nice but fairly standard micropub , five handpumps on the go with the beers on our visit described in the review below, I had the Moor Resonance which was in good shape. A pleasant pub well worth the visit.

Micropub painted in mushy pea one side with a forest decal on the other. Five cask, my halves of Orkney Man O Hoy and Firebird Parody were both just sub-GBG, NBSS 2.5 - both slightly warm, slightly flabby and felt like lacking turnover. Shame, as the service was friendly, the punters jovial and the atmosphere good. CAMRA Branch POTY in 2024, so what do I know. 6.5

The Bumble Inn is a micropub with beer shelves and stools across the front windows either side of the entrance and a table on either side wall. The small bar counter to the left rear supports five hand pumps, four of which were operational drawing Dark Star’s Orbiter, Shiny Brewery’s Rees, Rooster Brewing’s Echo Chamber and Arundel’s Sussex Gold. Korev and Jaipur were available on tap and a couple of ciders were advertised. The single toilet at the rear has been twinned with a latrine in Guatemala and the hot tap is righty loosey lefty tighty. It’s OK in here, not sure I’d go out of my way to revisit though.

A genuine micropub you could easily miss if you did not know it was there. A single room with no distractions but some good beers. 5 handpumps with a nice selection: Stancil London Porter, Castle Rock Snowhite, Shadow Bridge Dragon Slayer, Shiny Rocky, and 8 Sail Windmill. Plus Jaipur on keg and some ciders also. Food can be ordered from the Nepalese restaurant next door. I thoroughly enjoyed a brief visit and will return. Well worth finding
