Will Larter left this review about The Mallard

So much better than when the beer was always a bit too cold (like, six degrees rather than 11). Four hand pumps, of which I tried a half each of Chantry Diamond Black (now reduced to 4.2% abv but still a good beer: NBSS 4, £5/pint) and Treboom Dragons Tale 5% (NBSS 4.5, £5.80/pint), so I had to have another go at the latter. Two or three years ago I'd still have been waiting for my beer to warm up. There's a lovely, friendly atmosphere here, and the bar server was bringing drinks to tables as space is at a premium here, and none of us are getting any younger. I might make this a regular stop on my way to football at Gainsborough.

Conveniently located at Worksop railway station, this pub has doors from the platform that seem to act as an emergency exit. We didn't try too hard to access the pub through the doors, but did see somebody else enter through them. The main entrance is from the station car park at the other side.

The Mallard is a small, cosy, single-room pub. In fact, for the number of customers it's tiny, possibly even verging on cramped. We were greeted by the friendly barman/landlord who invited us to take a seat, as he ensured us that the locals were friendly! With all tables occupied, I think we would have been scattered around the room on individual stools had we taken up his offer. So, we instead became bar blockers!

4 real ales were on - Vale of Glamorgan Best, Nethergate Old Growler, Oakham Inferno & Allsop's India Pale Ale. There were also a couple of boxes of Weston's ciders on the bar. One was Old Rosie. The other was a Rhubarb one. This was one of only 2 pubs in Worksop that we found serving real cider. Although I instead opted for the Old Growler, which was in good form.

The landlord helpfully gave us directions to our next pub, which was outside of town in the next village along. This proved to be particularly invaluable as the local buses were on diversion due to a hole in the road!

A cosy, but very friendly place with a little character to boot. It ended up being my favourite pub of the day in Worksop.
