Quinno _ left this review about The Dolphin
GBG listed Hop Back pub near the station. Ill-advised interior makeover with salmon and magnolia shades, like a 70’s nightmare. The stained glass front windows are very nice though. Rumbustious atmosphere. Four HB cask on, my Entire Stout was on the cusp (NBSS 2.5). Thought I’d get more out of this one than I did in reality. GBG listed and nearest the station so you’ll end-up here regardless. 6.5

As noted below this Hop Back tied house is a basic drinker's pub and was quiet on my Saturday late afternoon visit despite the Six Nations Rugby being on in the adjacent area.
The bar only had two of their beers on from the four hand pumps, Crop Circle and Summer Lightning. I went for the Summer Lightning (£3.20).
I was a bit disappointed with this one as I was expecting more from a Hop Back pub.

A solid,down to earth boozer with a friendly welcome tied to Hop Back Brewery with 4 handpumps but just two options on a Thursday lunchtime visit in Crop Circle (good nick) and Summer Lightening.A selection of rolls for £1 maintained the traditional local vibe,the strong smell of disinfectant on entering was a little unfortunate but wouldn't put me off a revisit.Given decent real ale,this should be on any crawl itinerary.
