The Coalheavers Arms, Woodston, Peterborough

The Coal Heavers Arms was busy with a local crowd late doors on a recent midweek evening. The bar runs up the left wall facing banquette seating that sits under a television up the right. To the left is a dartboard and seating sits either side of a log burner. The bar supports eight hand pumps with four in operation that were drawing GK Old Speckled Hen and Deuchars alongside Woodforde’s Norfolk Nog and Parson James.

Potbelly Brewery Aisling, Milton Pegasus & Sparta, Icarus had gone, Edwin Taylor's Extra Stout, Potton ‘Village Bike', Nottingham Bullion, Westons Country Perry, Rathays Painted Lady Perry, Moravka (unpasteurised lager beer). Completely empty 15:00 (30May) and sadly no tv for cup final, tho I don't think we missed much? Single room pub, bar on left, wood floor on entry, then stone-effect tiles, six assorted size tables with settle/chair seating, book corner & games selection, nice big pine table at front window was ample for cards for our group of six. Narrow paved beer ‘garden' with a few picnic sets. The roll/baguettes were truly dreadful (£2.50), whats wrong with a simple ham/cheese barm/bap/cob? And don't start polishing the pumps at 5pm- that stuff makes you choke on yer beer!
