Will Larter left this review about Anvil Arms

This is a nicely done shop conversion, now owned by nearby Nailmaker Brewery. The sturdy bar counter had nine hand pumps at the time of my visit, with three ciders and five cask beers, of which I tried halves of Nailmaker Clout Stout 5% and Yorkshire Bitter 3.8%, both good and both £3.80/pint. This bar opens at 4pm during the week and as my visit was in December it was already dark and cold and I didn't want to miss my train, so this was a bit of a hurried visit. Maybe it's due for another soon.

Date of visit: 1st December 2021

The Old Co-Op, as was, reopens 24.07.20 as Anvil Arms. I believe it is now being run by nearby Nailmaker Brewery. Limited information available, at present.

aleand hearty left this review about Old Co-op Ale House

The Old Co-Op was the first of the two Darton micropubs to open, and for my money is the better of the two. Very much an alehouse in feel, with its wooden floors, exposed stone wall and large dining tables. There’s also a wood burning stove, a large bookcase, used for storing glasses, a large ornamental clock and that’s about it. Shop front windows and a high ceiling make for a light airy feel.

The bar is over to the right hand corner and six ales were available on our visit: Timothy Taylor ‘Landlord’ & ‘Knowle Spring’, Revolutions ‘Marquee’ and the house beers (a.k.a. Grumpy’s Ales) brewed just down the road, by Nailmaker: Blonde, Raspberry Blonde and Port Stout. Eight craft kegs were also listed. Plumping for a half each of the Marquee and the Port Stout, both were in decent nick, but not particularly exciting. Having tried Taylor’s beers many times and not being impressed by sneaky slurps of Mrs aleandhearty’s Blonde and Raspberry Blonde, I decided to try a couple of the craft keg offerings in Vedett ‘Extraordinary IPA’ and Totally Brewed ‘Idaho IPA’. Both undoubtedly had a bit more oomph, but were still slightly underwhelming (£4.80 for two halves).

Service from the young barman was brisk and efficient, if slightly cool and there was a good atmosphere when we called on a Friday teatime, with every table being taken. Despite not being totally enamoured with the beer choices, on this occasion, I enjoyed it enough to pencil it in for another visit, next time I’m in the area.

Visited July 2019.
