A lovely traditional backstreet pub , horseshoe shaped interior and central bar upon which are found six handpumps offering five beers of interest along with a cider, my castle Rock Just Like Heaven was a decent drop. The kind of pub I really like and as such a revisit is on the cards.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Ostrich

This back-street pub was my first new visit of a busy day - don't know how it missed it previously as it is close to the city centre. Anyway, it has a reversed U-shape bar with the counter unusually facing the back, with all parts traditionally furnished and decorated and all the regular amenities such as pool, darts and regular live music. A modernised yard beer garden car also be found at the back. With all six handpumps in use, we found Pennine's Hair of the Dog (£1.90, half), other beers from Ossett, Tiny Rebel, Castle Rock and Rudgate, and Thundering Molly cider (with a couple of Seacider clips also displayed).

Quinno _ left this review about The Ostrich

Locals’ music and ale pub behind the shopping centre. Opened-out with an island bar (though service is only at the rear) and decorated in Rasta colours. Tidy rear patio garden. GBG listed; six ales with an eclectic set, sadly neither of mine convinced and both were below GBG standard - St Ives Zennor NBSS 2 and Fauna Meadow Maker NBSS 1.5. Amusement provided by the barmaid negotiating the purchase of 2nd hand sofa with one of the regulars, she wouldn’t survive long in a souk. I’m assured that this place is supposedly one of Peterborough’s best, but I left thoroughly unconvinced of that claim. 5.5
