E TA left this review about Old House at Home
An old style, traditional town boozer, single bar, no frills. It’s battered, it’s bruised, but it still serves its locals. There are multiple TV screens, all showing horse racing when we visited, while much of the décor is association football-related. There is a pool table, a dart board and a scattering of sports trophies around the place. The clients on this occasion were all men of various ages, all drinking, all having a good time with no fuss. Ales on were Proper Job and Old Speckled Hen, both in fair condition. Keg was Foster’s, Heineken, Cruzcampo, Moretti, John Smith’s, Stella, Strongbow, Inch’s Cider, Carlsberg and Guinness. Good for a short visit, perhaps as part of a crawl, but not somewhere to linger.

Craft Union refurb and very low prices ensure the Old House is always busy; even on weeknights when some other town pubs shut early due to lack of trade. London Pride and Doom Bar are the nearest thing to proper beer, but at considerably less that £3 a pint it’s very good value. The reason I rate this pub so high is purely down to the fact it’s the kind of place you can just wander in and fit in without trying too hard. In a gentrified corporate world, it’s just a proper pub.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Old House at Home
Used to be quite a genteel place many years ago, but now more of a 'big screen sport' pub with a clientele to match. Tudor-style façade, and traditional furniture and decor within. I found Doom Bar, Pride, Young's Special and Spitfire (£3.70) available from the four handpumps on this visit. Overall, not really a place to stay for long (with the TVs, music, pool table, dartboard and general banter all competing for attention), but the beer is usually in good form.
