Will Larter left this review about Market Tavern

The grey and white painted exterior and the black sign told me at once this was a Craft Union pub, before I was even close enough to read the logo. On entering I thought at first that this was going to be one without real ale, but it turned out that two regulars were sat in front of the two hand pumps on the front end of the bar (the main stretch of the bar counter then facing left as it recedes into the depth of the building). The choice was between Theakstons Lightfoot and Timothy Taylor Landlord - I went for the latter, which was ok but not by any means impressive. It's good to see real ale on in this group's pubs, but in my experience there's a lot of lager being drunk in them, and in this case the two bar blockers were on Guinness!

Real Ale Ray left this review about Market Tavern

This is a basic one room pub, with a timber floor throughout and a gloomy looking bar on the right hand side, as you enter. They advertise real ale, out front, but once through the doors be prepared to be disappointed. There were two pumps on the bar, one was turned back and the other was a John Smiths.
