I have 45 minutes before a train from Peterborough to London, and this pub seems the logical waiting room. Quiet in the late afternoon.

The pub is found in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, PE1 2AA.

In Westgate. One of two Oakham tied pubs in the city and for any beer lover, this is nothing less than a pilgrimage. Sited next to the brewery, it has 15 handpumps (in banks of 4, 4 and 7) selling Oakham beers, guests and ciders, a 1 a.m. licence and a Thai kitchen. Superb. One can order four pint jugs or multiple pint take outs to drink at home. Up to 4 guest beers are also served. Split level pub with plenty of seating upstairs. Both the brewery and the kitchen can be seen through plate glass windows. For this contributor (Ian), this is absolute heaven. Always under threat of re-development for a future shopping proposition. Strong local following is always defending from this possible act of vandalism. CAMRA discount on real ales for card carrying members.

We have visited this pub 24 times, seen 43 different beers and tried 18 of them.
