Vine Inn, Nantwich

The Vine is a decent looking black and white pub that is a Hydes tied house. This pub was quite smart inside and there was also a seperate dining room,there were two real ales on the bar i had a drink of Hydes bitter and this was decent drink the other beer was Hydes mild. Pub visited 28/12/2002

Visited in May 2010 The Vine Inn is another attractive looking black-and-white pub situated close to the town centre. The exterior says that the pub dates back to "circa 1641". It's larger than it looks from the outside as it extends back quite a long way inside. Although there's oak beams, low ceilings and different drinking areas, it's been modernised a bit and this, coupled with the presence of fruit machines and a TV, give the pub something of a typical town centre pubco outlet feel to it. It's a Hydes pub which, on my recent evening visit, was offering Jekylls Gold and Original from the Hydes range. Also on were Ruddles Best and a beer from Allgates. Hydes have never struck me as being particularly distinctive beers and my pint of Original did nothing to dispel this view. Taking everything into account, I'd be inclined to give this one a miss next time.
