No cask. Keg offering of Braybrooke Helles, Verdant Light Bulb, something from Lost & Grounded I couldn’t quite pick, Murphy's Stout and Lucky Saint.

Cool first floor bar at the side of a ground floor corner restaurant - entrance door by the overhead sign of a well-fed badger. Up a flight of stairs is a bare boarded venue with dark leather banquettes around the perimeter serving regular tables with small stools the other side thereof. A roaring fire in the far corner added to the ambience of the venue, and the slightly smoky smell. A rip-roaring Oasis soundtrack added to the enjoyment of this quite basic bar.

Originally The Carnarvon Castle, I came here for a pizza in the summer of 2011 as this is now Pizza East in what the company describes as a "...restored Georgian pub...". If it were a restored pub it would serve real ale. I don't know if you can just have a drink here, though I suspect you can, but if so, I won't be tempted to return to this part of the world.
