How on earth has this place escaped the radar for so long? Possibly as its never occurred to me to use ‘Temple' as a location search, but it's on my map now. By far the best choice of beers I have found anywhere near here; yesterday Adnams, Edgar's Pale Ale (by Nethergate), Brewers Gold, Cottage Swordfish, Rebellion Smuggler, Banks&Taylor Shefford bitter, 1648 Hop Pocket, Nethergate Augustinian, and all well kept. Plenty of old pumpclips around the bar – always a good sign of willingness from the pub to provide changing & interesting ales. Food looked good too & if I hadn't been moving on I could easily have been tempted by the day's special of seared swordfish sarnie with pancetta, tartare, salad, & skin-on chips (£8.50), or chicken & chorizo skewers with jalapeno coleslaw from the typed menu (£5). Very friendly guv'nor who chatted about the beers & brewing & suggested reading microbrewers' handbook, Ted Bruning. A real shame that part of the pub's appeal in a ‘hidden' location also contributed to a failed recent attempt to support weekend opening – apparently they'll give it another go in the summer.

In here last Wednesday lunchtime for a swift one. Pretty simple one-room pub with nothing exceptional about it - except the fact that there were 6 real ales on. I had a Wooden Hand Brewery Cornish ale, which was excellent. Barmaid was very friendly, and service was quick. Definitely worth going back to for the beer alone.
