The Bumble Inn, Peterborough

The Bumble Inn is a micropub with beer shelves and stools across the front windows either side of the entrance and a table on either side wall. The small bar counter to the left rear supports five hand pumps, four of which were operational drawing Dark Star’s Orbiter, Shiny Brewery’s Rees, Rooster Brewing’s Echo Chamber and Arundel’s Sussex Gold. Korev and Jaipur were available on tap and a couple of ciders were advertised. The single toilet at the rear has been twinned with a latrine in Guatemala and the hot tap is righty loosey lefty tighty. It’s OK in here, not sure I’d go out of my way to revisit though.

A genuine micropub you could easily miss if you did not know it was there. A single room with no distractions but some good beers. 5 handpumps with a nice selection: Stancil London Porter, Castle Rock Snowhite, Shadow Bridge Dragon Slayer, Shiny Rocky, and 8 Sail Windmill. Plus Jaipur on keg and some ciders also. Food can be ordered from the Nepalese restaurant next door. I thoroughly enjoyed a brief visit and will return. Well worth finding

Decent micro-pub on the station side of the city centre, with two modern standard-height tables and three higher ones, plus a couple of seats along the window ledge on one side of the door. I found four of the five handpumps in use, offering Bumbling Appen, Gloucester Session Pale, Magpie Cherry Raven (£3.50, and thankfully not too strongly favoured) and Great Heck Trafalgar. Good atmosphere too.

Found by chance on a day visit to Peterborough on the last day of their beer festival. Great range of quality beers from a range of breweries. Small comfortable pub for beer drinkers...helpful happy staff and welcoming customers
