A rather basic but authentic micropub with three cask ales on stillage, these were Wiper & True Between Rivers, Mallinsons
El Dorado and Hop Back Entire Stout, the later being in top form, backing up the ales were two keg beers from Burning Sky and Downlands, six Ciders presumably from bag in box, wine and spirits also available. The pub was well attended with a generally older generation demographic, the pub atmosphere was warm and friendly.
Very good.

A very pleasant micropub housed in two former shops,the bar and stillage behind is along the wall by the side entrance with three high tables opposite in the window space while there are lower level tables and upturned kegs as seats with round tables to the left.The wall mounted menu lists wines and other libations,while on my trip there were two kegged beers available from Burning Sky namely Luppoleto Pilsner and Quench NZ Pale.The stillage offerings were Northern Monk Old Flax Store,Downlands Devils Dyke ruby red porter,Ampersand Duohop (NBSS 4),Bristol Beer Factory One More Round and another Downlands Devils Dyke sub brew I failed to note.That's a decent mix of styles and strength and the friendly lady owner made sure the ale dropped from the stillage into the glass to liven up the brew.
I would certainly use this micro again,there is a constant flow of local people into and out with conversation the order of the day.Great double header with the Duke Of Wellington if you appreciate good ale.

The Old Star is a fairly basic micro, sticking closely to the original template, with 3 ales dispensed directly from jacketed casks behind the bar. There's some ciders, 2 keg beers and a larger selection of wines than is customary.
It is a bit of a squeeze inside, with the few tables crammed in, but it all works fine.
