Nice modern fit out including some on show brewery kit, marked as a gastro brewery!

Plenty of polished wood and brewery equipment on show at this established brewpub. I was keen to check out an alternative to the big brewery in town. I enquired at the bar but the barman seemed pretty unenthusiastic about the ales on offer. Once I'd tried mine, I began to appreciate his indifference. 'Black Pig' turns out to be brown; and boring.
While it's all very comfortable inside and you can look out onto a pleasant back street, I struggled to see the point here. Given the dominance of Greene King in these parts, I'd hoped for a bit more passion, but just didn't find it. Maybe next time?

UPDATE JUNE 2013
I was very disappointed with this pub on our return visit. The welcome and the friendliness we experienced on our first visit had disappeared and the staff have become uppity. One of the guest beers was well past its sell by date and it took a lot of persuasion by me, to convince the barmaid to refund my £3.40 for a pint. I would have changed it for another beer, but with her attitude we bailed out.
Original Review 2011
Situated in a residential part of town and easy to find. All the staff very friendly and helpful. If you're into real ales, you can't miss this one out. On my visit I had the good fortune of smelling the malted barley as they had just finished a mash. Five on handpump Adnams, Old Cannon Brew Brass Monkey. I enjoyed the Old Cannon Brewery Blonde Bombshell, OCB Best, Arbour Ales Bushcraft and Reigate Brewery Pilgrams Progress. Also they serve great food with a good menu choice. Defo will return
