Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Shakespeare Inn
We arrived at the Shakespeare to find a live band performing outdoors, with crowds of people. This is not normally my cup of tea, but after almost 18 months of restrictions, it was great to find a pub the way many were on a Saturday night pre-Covid.
The outdoor area was packed. Indoors was slightly quieter, with a few groups of more senior people chatting away. We did manage to secure a table after a lengthy wait for service. The wait was quite understandable given how busy it was. The queue was orderly and staff were doing a good job.
Tetley's Cask is the regular ale here. 3 guests were Great Newsome Sleck Dust, Sharp's Doom Bar & Exeter Fraid Not. I opted for the local favourite Sleck Dust, which was in good condition. CAMRA discounts may well be offered, but I didn't ask on this occasion.
A bit too busy and noisy for my liking, but fantastic to see a pub so busy, with people finally able to enjoy themselves.
