Beer under the Clock, Retford

Probably the most disappointing micro-pub I have been in. Maybe the timing was a bit off - they had received a pub of the year presentation from local Camra the night before - but of the eight hand pumps, four featured ciders and of the others, one had a porter and the three others were all pale and fruity modern-style beers (citrus or pomegranate). This is a modern shop unit just off the market square, so there is no cellar and beer is stillaged on the right, near the bar. We felt that the decor and furniture were uncomfortable, and we didn't get much of a welcome either - though this may have been morning-after-the-night-before. Perhaps my rating of 5 is a little low, and maybe a future visit will turn out to be a better experience. Date of visit: 22nd March 2016
