paulof horsham left this review about Mad Squirrel Tap

This is basically just a wooden boarded room with the bar back left, 3 fridges front left; on the right are a few shelves of cans primarily to take away plus a small ledge nearer to the door to hold your beer and your phone with some unbelievably uncomfortable seats to perch on. Additionally, there's a lounge upstairs and a covered beer garden.

The bar is primarily devoted to Mad Squirrel's keg offerings, though a single cask tap (heavily sparklered) provides the 14th beer. Prices are much as you'd expect from modern craft (£6 and upwards for a pint) with the cask more reasonable at £4.90.

If there's no live music, the soundtrack is indie (based on my brief visit).

As you would hope, beer quality is excellent, so this is worth an hour or two of your time.

This Mad Squirrel taproom is now one of 6 that the local brewery has. Whilst I've previously been to the one in High Wycombe, I've still to get to the others.

The front room, which contains the bar, is a little basic. Beyond, there is access to an upper level, whilst there is also an outdoor patio to the side.

All beers were keg, with the selection being Mad Squirrel Hoodwink, Hopfest, Zealous, Big Sea, Native, $umo, Hoptail, Fiesta, De La Creme & Roadkill, in addition to one guest beer - White Hag The Black Pig. The cider was Mad Squirrel Pulp Fiction. Bottles are also available from fridges in the bar area.

Bar staff were friendly and prices were steep. Overall, I think I prefer the High Wycombe branch.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Mad Squirrel Tap

Compact brewery tap and bottle (actually can) shop, with seating upstairs or in side yard around canteen tables under canvas. Broad range of styles being poured from 13 of the 14 craft keg taps on the bar-back, including a couple of guests and a cider, but I went for the Hopfest (£4.70).
