The Lines End, Sheringham

Will Larter left this review about The Lines End

An addition to the locally owned Gangways and Junction, and occupying a former restaurant, this is a sort of micropub-but-not, with two hand pumps and several keg taps. (The name refers to the end of the national rail network and the start of the heritage railway just opposite.) I was faced with a cask ale choice: Adnams Ghost Ship Session IPA, and having tried the full strength version at the Lobster the previous day I wasn't going to make the mistake of drinking its 3.4% sibling, or the other one. So it was Triple Point Gold. This breaks my taboo against drinking Sheffield beers when on the road, so when this turned out to to be slightly oxidised I felt suitably punished (NBSS 2.5, £4.80). This is quite a decent effort at a micropub, with the bar counter in the main building, and extra seating in a conservatory-like extension at the side, both of which are pleasant, but I'd like to see something more interesting on the cask lines, and if the background music is typical, I reckon any future visit will have to be limited to just a half.
