This Mad Squirrel taproom is now one of 6 that the local brewery has. Whilst I've previously been to the one in High Wycombe, I've still to get to the others. The front room, which contains the bar, is a little basic. Beyond, there is access to an upper level, whilst there is also an outdoor patio to the side. All beers were keg, with the selection being Mad Squirrel Hoodwink, Hopfest, Zealous, Big Sea, Native, $umo, Hoptail, Fiesta, De La Creme & Roadkill, in addition to one guest beer - White Hag The Black Pig. The cider was Mad Squirrel Pulp Fiction. Bottles are also available from fridges in the bar area. Bar staff were friendly and prices were steep. Overall, I think I prefer the High Wycombe branch.

Compact brewery tap and bottle (actually can) shop, with seating upstairs or in side yard around canteen tables under canvas. Broad range of styles being poured from 13 of the 14 craft keg taps on the bar-back, including a couple of guests and a cider, but I went for the Hopfest (£4.70).
