Sir John Borlase Warren, Nottingham

Quinno _ left this review about Sir John Borlase Warren

I struggled to recall much about this one from before and tbh being here didn't really jolt my mind much. It's certainly had a fairly recent makeover; the outside is a striking and attractive green though the inside is a mildly unappealing battle tank bilge and white, though there's a bit of colourful wallpaper to break things up a bit. Multiple small areas that would have been rooms and there's a bit of character. Seven ales and two ciders over 12 pumps, all bar one of the ales being Lincoln Green (the other is Everards so assuming is now a Project William). The Landlord had just opened-up so had to wait a couple of minutes but he did at least pour a bit off of my two before serve. And in the event I got good ones, the Archer was an NBSS 3.5 and the Tuck a 4. He later offered, unprompted, to exchange the Archer as the barrel was very low which was a nice touch, but certainly not needed in this particular case. Well - worth its GBG place. 7.5

An unusually located pub, being in the middle of an eight(?) road junction. Named after a local admiral (JDW-esque). The split-level interior has had a makeover but has a number of appealing older features such as the attractive etched glass bar back set in white painted wood and the mosaic tiled floor. Open-plan but has a number of discrete drinking areas which makes for a more homely feel. Seven ales on the bar, mainly from Everards with a couple of guests, plus Old Rosie cider and mine was in good nick. There’s a selection of board games in the back room and up-market pub food offered. Large prints of old Beano comics adorn one of the walls. Enjoyable and worth a visit. Rated 7
