The Bumble Inn, Peterborough

Found by chance on a day visit to Peterborough on the last day of their beer festival. Great range of quality beers from a range of breweries. Small comfortable pub for beer drinkers...helpful happy staff and welcoming customers

Smart micro pub near shopping centre, square shop interior with bar at end, stools to fitted high dark wood benches with lower tables on opposite side. Stools also to window shelf. Well presented. Beer was slightly warm.

We stumbled into the Bumble as our second pub of the day and a decent pint was served, very slightly cloudy but drinkable. Reasonably sized micro with half a dozen hand pulls and bench type seating at high tables. worth a quick visit but not really a destination.

Opened in the summer of 2016,this former pharmacy is now a well run micropub,the first in Peterborough.The interior is square with quite a bit of seating and a small bar sporting 5 handpumps,several keg taps ,bottles and cans giving a very wide range of beer options,most listed on a board to one side.It also stays open until 10pm,and has had 370 + ales in its first 6 months of operation,so lots for beer tickers to get their teeth into. The owner is a friendly chap,and was also very helpful with information on the ale scene in the area,suggesting some other venues worth a visit.His knowledge of beer was extensive. On my Tuesday afternoon visit the ale choice was Little Critters Malty Python & Sleepy Badger,Reunion Opening Gambit,Revolutions EP Session Pale and Fullers Bengal Lancer in good nick but with a hint of a chocolate stout which must have been on this line previously and which required a better water flush.However it was perfectly drinkable ,these things happen. I would certainly come back ,and it should be included in any real ale tour of the city centre.A good addition to the local drinking scene.

Nothing of strength on hand pump but the keg options were far better. Worth a revisit.

A recent and new addition to central Peterborough. We called in on a Saturday afternoon and this micro was pleasantly busy. The pub consists of one room with sage green painted wood panelling around the walls and a mural of a forest featured on the left had wall. Five pumps all in use, so we went for the Mordue 5 Bridges and Fat Cat Brewery Hell Cat. The fridge behind the bar had a wide and varied selection of bottled and canned beers. One shared toilet was the only downside in here.
