Blue Scrumpy left this review about Pens Ale

More of a bar than a micropub, Pens Ale is a single, sub-divided room with the bar on the left-hand side as you enter. Music was playing and the TV was showing the original version of Jumanji on mute for some unknown reason. There were just 3 other customers plus a rather bored looking barmaid.

At the bar, there are 3 cask ales. The regular beer is Holden's Golden Glow. 2 guests were Holden's Hop Waves & Thornbridge Jaipur. A fourth handpull was clipped with Pulp Mango Daiquiri cider. There are plenty of different kinds of snack available, if you're feeling peckish.

There is a small outdoor drinking area to the left-hand side of the pub, with a car park to the rear.

Of the two, I think I prefer their sister pub Tivi-Ale to this one, but I'd be happy to give this place another try sometime.

Real Ale Ray left this review about Pens Ale

We really enjoyed our visit here as the beer quality was excellent, with a friendly barmaid and locals alike. There was a pile of homemade Veg Samosas on the bar £1 each, which went down well with our first pint. The bar area was situated over on the left hand side, with a large collection of pump clips displayed on the wall leading down a small lobby way.
Other features were the ceiling lamps constructed from heavy industrial steel machine cogs painted in gold.
Four handpumps on the bar serving Holden's Golden Glow, Titanic Plum Porter, Goff's White Knight and Langton Top Lock. We went for the Langton which was a superb session ale.
They also have a patio area adjoining the left hand side of the pub, which was a real sun trap. This is where we polished off a large fish and chips from the chippy next door. Good prices in here also.

Still going strong and still well used by the locals. 4 ales on and the 2 I had were fine. Plenty of cobs and snacks available. A great little pub!
