Graham Coombs left this review about The Jolly Postie

Yes, an old post office, with lots of quirky touches including a venerable Austin van in the entrance and a telephone kiosk. It is all a bit upmarket/trendy but ok for a pint if passing. A MacMullen's house, with Country Bitter, AK and Rivertown Quin on handpump and various other Rivertowns on keg.

The clue is in the name as this is formerly a post office and there are postal-related themes dotted around with the coup de grace of a vintage postvan in the entrance lobby which when you actually enter into the building you see has been converted into a dining booth. A little too in-your-face for my taste but there are at least four stumps, albeit only two in action on my visit - McMullen AK and and something called Special Day (a fundraising beer for a charity). My AK was as good as can be expected (£1.85 for a half), but this is, in essence, a theme pub, in the same vein as The Sherlock Holmes in WC2.
