Reviews of BBQs & Brews (Letter B) (Average Rating: 8 of 10) Add Review see review guidelines

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about BBQs & Brews (Letter B)

Also still known as the Letter B, and traces of this curious name remain in several places (with the former Letter A and C pubs elsewhere in town now converted to other uses). This one has been extended into the adjoining buildings so is somewhat larger than one might expect inside, once you've found the unmarked entrance doorway! Given a recent, light, semi-traditional look in the various rooms on the main bar side, but the dining room at the left-hand end is darker and more upmarket. There's a good-sized rear patio beer garden too. Five cask ales on handpump: Nene Valley's Blonde Session Ale (£4.50), Ratmospheric from Rat Brewery, Buxton's Monsal Mild, Ossett Excelsior and Titanic's Cherry Porter.

Already well described, I'll simply note that you'll find a friendly welcome here and a decent range of ale.
Beers on were: Titanic Iceberg, Hop Back Summer Lightening, Doom Bar, Digfield Chiffchaff and Tidd Steam Roadhouse with all that we tried in good shape.
Another very decent option just off the main drag.

A street corner free house,this is the last remaining Letter named pub in Whittlesey with the Letter A and C having closed years ago.The current landlord is a long standing publican in the area,and his focus here is on real ale.There are two entrances ,with two bars seperated by an internal corridor.The right side has a darts board to the rear and is long and thin,while the left sided bar has a lot of prints and photos of the area over the years.The furniture is an odd mix,with what appears to be tables and chairs which may have come from a conference room at a large hotel,metal frames with velour coverings.It didn't feel very pubby and the artex wall coverings didn't help.The place was quiet on a Tuesday evening,although B&B guests were regularly coming and going from their accomodation.
The landlord is an engaging character ,and was happy to chat to a couple of strangers on all things beer and pub related.He keeps all the brass gleaming around the bar,and the copper pipes in the urinals were equally shiny.
The 2019 GBG entry is fully deserved and the condition of my Hop Back Summer Lightening and Titanic Iceberg was tip top.There are 5 handpumps operating,20 ciders in a fridge and countless gin options.It may not have much internal charm ,but the quality and range of real ale options would always merit a visit the next time I'm in town.A great double header with the nearby Boat.
