An odd melange of a pub, it’s the tap for Chalk Hill Brewery and most of the cask beer is theirs, I think only a Bristol Beer Factory one was a guest. There are four sets of three pulls spread round the semi circular counter with horseshoes in between, nothing to scare the punters on the horseshoes, other than a wild hazy sour Vault City beer. The single room follows the counter round in a semi circle, going from public bar style with dart board round through slightly differentiated areas to a more dining conservatory at the back. The floor is parquet or tile and the furniture very, very chunky. An interesting decor point is the group of maps showing the Thorpe Road area through time.

My first visit to this Chalk Hills Brewery pub since I started writing reviews for Pubs Galore, though I had certainly been here before with Luton Town friends before at least one game at Carrow Road, though memories are a little hazy. 2005? Quite possibly. My first visit here when it has not been rammed by football fans anyway. First impression was not good as I approached the bar trying to make out the pump clips, as is my usual habit, and was told rather brusquely by the barman to look at the beer list on the black board. Which was on a beam above my head. I suppose this makes sense if the floor is crammed with pre- or post-match drinkers, but at a quiet time of week a more personal touch would have gone down well. There were anyway three lots of three hand pumps, and since all the pump clips are in a kind of code (a bit like railway stations: SHF for Sheffield is obvious, and DBY for Derby, but why is MHS Meadowhall?), it's not easy for a newcomer. I went for CHB, which of course was Chalk Hills Bitter, and very good it was too (NBSS 3.5). I'd be interested in doing this one again, to get better aquainted with the beer code as much as anything, and it is handy for the station (NRW, of course).
