This is owned by Heston Blumenthal. His famous restaurant The Fat Cat is next door, and the food in both places quite amazing. There are 4 hand pumps on, and a wide variety of wines and whiskeys. Plenty of seating but if you want to eat in the pub restaurant upstairs you need to book up about 2 months in advance for Fri / Sat evenings! Well worth the wait though!
Little but suprised that given the passion for good food and wine in this place that the beer selection was so boring and un-inspiring. They should do some more bottle beers perhaps, and try some more interesting beers in the pub on pumps. Some food beer matching would also work so well in there.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rebellion - Roasted Nuts | 4.60 | | This was much better than the IPA. Good temp, not tired, plenty of chocco malts, interesting hop flavours, and pleasant lasting roasted finish in the mouth. Very sessionable. |
| Rebellion - IPA (was 3.7%) | 3.40 | | Thin, almost non-existent head. This was tired, perhaps the end of a slow selling barrel? |
| Timothy Taylor - Landlord | 4.30 | Not Tried |
