Two cask beers from Wye Valley, the Butty Bach and the HPA. Keg offering of Portobello London Pilsner, Budvar, Weihenstephaner, Portobello London Pale Ale, Chouffe Session, Flensburger lager, Guinness and Aspall cider.
Very attractive and quaint pub with a small square room at the front with the bar counter creating seating area in a U shape around the perimeter of the room. Nice large plate glass windows with attractive patterned tops on the front and left-hand side of the pub with large gold coloured velvet curtains pulled to the side with ties. Large fabric banquette in front window with a long bench table housing a chatty group of women on my visit. Regular tables and chairs on the two sides with tall wooden stools on the two sides of the bar counter. Glass chandelier over the middle of the bar servery and nice etched glass mirrors on the wall behind the bar. The left-hand wall was adored with a few pieces of plate crockery and painted a dark brown, other wall space was classily wallpapered. The room behind the bar was small and carpeted with some comfy seating options and an old wind-up gramophone amongst other interesting items. The gents were accessed via a corner curtain in the back right hand corner and this place felt like a time warp in the best sense of the phrase. I found the venue a true delight. Soft jazz music added to the class I was of this place.

I had this one in my sights because of its Camra Heritage Interior listing, which seems a little peculiar given its history. The whole front of the pub was extended in the early 20th century, as shown by the pillar in front of the bar, directly under the front wall above. The Camra heritage officer's description is full of "could be's" and "hard to date's". My main impression was that it was pretty quiet on the Wednesday early evening when I was here, though the barman was friendly and greeted one or two late-comers as regulars. There was only one cask ale available, though four hand pumps were left vacant. I had a half of Portobello Star 4.3%, which was a stonking £3.20. My notes made at the time say "v.g.", which I'll take as very good rather than very greedy.

I very much doubt this pub dates back to 1826, certainly this building isn’t Georgian, in fact evidence seems to suggest that it harks back no further than 1871, though maybe this could be a late Victorian rebuild; either way, it’s certainly eye-catching, listed in CAMRA’s inventory of pubs with historic interiors, this being of Some Regional Importance.
It would seem unchanged since the previous reviews, the interior being very attractive with some alterations dating from the 1930s. It’s rather eclectic and jumbled in a slightly charming way, with a floor that’s both boarded, pattern carpeted, grey ‘office’-style carpet and kilims. There are two attractive fireplaces, with kindling, giving the appearance of use, though not on my visit due to it being an unseasonably warm evening. There are wall mounted eclectic plates and mirrors, with lighting coming from a rather naff crystal chandelier, probably best appreciated by Mildred Roper. Beyond, there’s a further room, which may double as the pub’s tearoom during the day. Sadly, the white Anaglypta ceiling is starting to sag, but otherwise there’s plenty of full height lacquered wainscoting; a dartboard can be seen at left, ugly Six Nations bunting also in evidence.
A very friendly barmaid served up a good half of Portobello Star at an unjustifiable £3.50, Butty Bach also available but sadly three unused pumps.
This is really a rather charming pub. A bit of cash spent on the carpet and ceiling (lose the chandelier while you’re at it), get more ales on and this would become a minor destination pub.

This pub turned out to be much nicer than I thought it would be when I looked at its website. It's nicely carpeted, furnished with large scrubbed dining room tables, plus some normal chairs, settles and more than enough cushions on them. Some of the chairs had blankets draped over them, presumably for use by those customers who feel the cold and for some reason choose to sit outside in the small seating area at the front. A separate room at the back on the right seems to have been incorporated into the pub at some stage.
The bar manager said that the pub dated from 1826, which makes it Georgian. My guess is that some of the internal features might be the result of a Victorian refit - such as the ancient horseshoe shaped bar counter and the glazed screening behind the servery. Both of the entrances are surmounted by grillwork proclaiming the name of the pub.
They had three Wye Valley beers on, as a result of the landlady hailing from that part of the world. They were HPA (£2.20 a half), Same Again, and Butty Bach. The reversed Doom Bar clip represented no great loss. Main courses were £14 upwards, and I didn't notice any pub grub. The Sunday roast for a tenner is probably the best bet.There were jars of nuts, plus a large brass bowl containing packets of crisps, on the bar counter, and a vase of lillies on the stillion.
I quite liked this pub despite its gastro credentials. That might be because the landlady was engaging, and I was in at early doors when it was very quite, and I'm not sure that it would be quite so comfortable when it gets busy. A couple of the tables were very large - 8 or 10 seaters - and might well attract large and noisy groups. But that's pubs for you!

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Pear Tree
Curiously-shaped building, with large windows which have been painted (not very well, in my opinion) with stylistic pear trees. Inside, a large horseshoe-shaped bar dominates the main room, leaving less room for seating than one might expect. However, there is also a smaller room to the rear and a reasonable-looking courtyard out back. Three handpumps, dispensing Pride (£3.30, and in good condition), Old Speckled Hen and Doom Bar. The chalkboards outside make it clear that food is a priority here, but not too bad a place for a pint either.
