Blackthorn _ left this review about Mama Liz's Soul Food Shack

This is an unusual establishment. Not a pub in the traditional sense, but a bar on the ground floor with I believe more of a nightclub in the basement and a restaurant up above. The ground floor bar area which is where we stayed has a high ceiling with black tiles, a black brick backdrop to the bar and wooden flooring. There are plenty of black and white photo’s pinned up above the bar that look like they are from New Orleans, in keeping with the Creole theme of the pub.

The furniture was all made from some extremely large bamboo sticks, there was a large sheep’s head (or similar) stuck on the wall, a good sized palm tree and a DJ console in the corner with a couple of large but good quality speakers perched on the adjacent mantelpiece. There were three large lizards pinned to the wall in between the speakers.

The menu was in keeping with the Creole theme of the establishment, and although it looked tempting we didn’t sample it on this occasion. There was also a good sized outside decking area which must be a nice spot when it’s not pouring with rain.

Beers on tape were Potbelly Best, Marie Celeste and Oakham Helter Skelter. There were also a couple of American beers which seemed fitting. Ciders were Addlestones and Weston’s Traditional Scrumpy.

We walked up North Street to our next pub, Mama Liz’s soul food shack. This was amazing inside. I don’t know whether to describe the downstairs as weird or wonderful. There is another room upstairs set for diners and a motorcycle made from wicker type material that looks very realistic. It has been awarded Peterborough CAMRA 2010 Branch Pub of the Year. 3 real ales on offer and we sat outside with our Digfield Barnwell bitter.
