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

Semi-traditional inn by function, although the overall L-shaped bar, including various seating and dining areas, and side rooms have all been refurbished in a light, airy style. The large patio beer garden to one side has also been modernised. On my visit, I found Greene King IPA (£4.65) and 'London' Glory available from two of the four handpumps, although a reversed Grainstore clip was also visible on one of the others.

A nice old pub exterior but inside proves to be a trendified eating house, predominantly focussed on food. What were obviously once separate old rooms have been opened up and extended out the back, with what is admittedly a nice airy garden room opening onto a gravel courtyard. A large lawned area holds a marquee and outside bar in the summer. It did have a few ales on though, with Landlord and Oakham JHB being joined by a couple of rugby world cup specials from Castle Rock and Grainstore.

Looks alright from the outside, but inside is a fairly modern and spartan L shaped interior; exposed brick, wood floor, an extension out back with a skylight. All a bit dull. Four pumps with three on 2x Oakham and Tim Taylor Landlord (no sign of Greene King – is this one still owned by them?). My Oakham Citra was a bit so-so, came out warm and must have been sat a while. One positive memory is that my Tweet about this place was liked by the real Hornblower himself, Mr Ioan Gruffudd.
