Fellows Morton & Clayton, Nottingham

Bucking Fastard left this review about Fellows Morton & Clayton

This historic building was part of a series of wharf buildings owned by Fellows Morton & Clayton,one of the largest fleets of working narrowboats pre WWII.Confusingly The Canalhouse next door,when viewed from the canal towpath has an original FMC signage high up,this FMC pub is far smaller although it too has a canalside terrace.
The front door has to the left a raised section with a few tables,high tables opposite the bar a little further on,and then a more substantial lower lounge with french windows leading to the canal terrace.There is some boating paraphenalia dotted about,and the wooden furniture and fixings does add some interest but two large Sky Sports flatscreens and various home nation flags show that this will lively at times.Thankfully the Sky Sports was on mute on my lunchtime visit.
There are 4 handpumps ,one for real cider with the others on my trip Shipstone's Gold Star,Doom Bar and Blue Monkey Primate Best Bitter (£4.10,NBSS 2.5)
Not a bad pub,but nothing too exciting there are better real ale outlets not too far away.
