Via Fossa, Nottingham

Via Fosse is a very big canal side Greene King pub with a large riverside terrace, the biggest in Nottingham apparently. The larger front section of the pub was closed during a recent Wednesday evening visit. The friendly barmaid running the smaller rear bar informed me that the front is open more in the winter months, the canal being the major draw in the summer. This rear section has seating, a stage for regular live music events and televisions for the advertised Sky Sports. St Austell’s Tribute and TT Landlord were available alongside standard and premium keg.

Huge, unbranded Greene King pub in one of the canal-side warehouses, with plenty of space inside even with just one of the bars open. For the better weather, there is also a substantial patio beside the water. Plenty of competition in the area, but not all of those do real ale so the manager is trying this again. Only Landlord on (£4.15) with Abbot coming next.
