Will Larter left this review about The Centurion
An Ember Inns pub beside a roundabout on what used to be the A46 or the Fosse Way, the Roman Road linking Lincoln, Leicester and Bath, among others. Nowadays this is a dining pub with a large car park and precious few centurions. Not being the dining pub sort, my eyes were drawn to two sets of four hand pumps, but a closer perusal showed that the same beers were doubled: St Austell Anthem, Sharps Doom Bar, Purity Mad Goose and Allendale Golden Plover. I went for the last named, which was disappointingly cold. I was charged £4.40 for my pint and it was only after leaving the bar that I saw a poster attached to a pillar offering a 20p per pint reduction for Camra members - carefully affixed to that side of the pillar that would not be seen on approaching the bar. Quite honestly, I wouldn't be that bothered about 20p, but it would be nice to see it offered a little less grudgingly. I've been in a few Ember Inns over the years and found some of them ok. This one, being more like a Marstons or Greene King retail park diner than a proper pub, would not be among them.
