Soup Dragon left this review about The Why Not Inn

Revisited after yet another change of landlord, so updated the review: It is a detached pub, with a white rendered brick exterior and black paintwork, with beer patio under a front verandah and a rear beer garden.

The interior is on two levels. The ipper level has some dining tables, along with a pool table and a couple of dart boards, but i have not been up there yet. The lower level is open plan, with a corner bar. The decor is red and cream, with some exposed brickwork, with a white ceiling and part caprepted (the more bar bit) and part wood floor (the more dining bit). There is a small fireplace in the dining area. The walls have Victorian kind of prints on them. It serves up a budget menu, which i tried with the Soupettes the other day and have to say that the BBQ chicken was decent enough. There was soft background music and a TV in the corner that was silent with sub-titles showing some light entertainment programme. The service was fine, in fact i had a chat to the gaffer and the place had improved since my last visit. The clientele was mixed between diners and drinkers, some clearly regulars.

Beer; usual tap stuff, with Banks's MILD/Bitter. There were three handpulls with Marson's EPA , Hobgoblin and Single Hop (i think it was called). The Hobgoblin and the Single Hop were fine.

A solid form of a more local kind of Marston's food/pub - far nicer than eating in one of the larger and more soulless places. Has a separate bar area and pub games. I will pop back a little more often now.
