Will Larter left this review about Brandling Villa

A random selection having already randomly called in the Victory after both Luton Town and Hallam FC had achieved victories, the latter just up the road at Stan. I recognised the pub as one I had photographed a few years ago, so called in and was confronted by a choice of three beers from in-house brewery Overkill. Two US pales at 4.5% and a Broon at 4.7%. After taking advice from a man in a Toon football shirt I went for the Chattr Box, which was said to be the less hazy of the two, but it was the haziest beer I've had that wasn't actually gloopy, plus I ended up with a pint as they don't do halves here (why not?). My beer was complex, interesting and not at all intolerable, but it's hard to get enthusiastic about beers like this (NBSS 3.5, £480). The pub is much like Ray's description from more than 10 years ago, but not as doggy, mercifully.

A large traditional dog friendly pub, where customers are encouraged to bring their canine pals along. They even have bottled beer for your pet, called Snuffle Dog Beer and I also noticed lots of doggy treats being sold over the bar. We entered through the side road entrance where we encountered a few dogs in before us. The pub consists of two large rooms, with the bar in the right hand side lounge and a stage for gigs in the other. The flooring is boarded throughout, with the bar and counter top finished in a dark stained timber. The ceilings were white and coffee, with deep purple walls.
There were several feature walls displaying pump clips. Ten ales and two ciders, we went for the High House Farm Auld Hemp and Fallen Brewing Local Motive. The beer was sold in pints or schooners, which measured two thirds and a schooner cost £2.15.
