This place has something of a micro pub vibe being fairly minimalist with beers on stillage.
Four ales were on: Rocket Maverick, Rocket Komet, Dunscar Bitter and Shardlow 5 Bells.
We found these to be uninspiring and didn't opt for a second although pickled eggs and pork pies are also available.

The new name has also lead to a complete refurb for what was previously a small back street local.It's been stripped of original features and is open plan with pine flooring and pine seperate tables and chairs at the front making it look like a cafe.There is a bar billiards table to the left side.Beyond the mid pub bar,there is a rear section with it's own bar access with some more traditional tables and chairs leading to a beer garden.
The USP here is ale from stillage,with a cooling cabinet holding 6 casks,of which 4 were drawing on our Wednesday evening visit.However the options were either low ABV or a rather sweet and malty Shardlow Five Bells.My Rocket Brewery Comet was clear,yet dull and lifeless,it could have done with a tight sparkler and that's the problem with stillage dispence.You may be able to tick off a new brew here,but I shifted on after a pint.However the pub is well supported by the local community ,so serves a purpose.

Alan Winfield left this review about The Hog & Partridge
The Hog and Partridge is set in the back streets and a short walk from the town centre.
Once inside there is a single L shaped room which runs to the rear right,the room is bare boarded and the seating is bench type and pew seats and small stools.
There was a good choice of real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Long Man Session IPA which was a very nice and well kept beer,the other beers noted were Adnams Mosaic,Cambridge Black,Adnams Ghostship and Grainstore Ten Fifty.
There are lots of boardgames available.
This is a decent pub with a good choice of real ales,just a shame it was empty on our Saturday afternoon visit and it also looked like it was up for sale,so its future now seems in doubt.
