I spotted this place whilst having a pint in the nearby Bumble Inn and decided to pop inside. The pub reopened earlier this year after a long period of closure. I had a good chat with the manager and enjoyed a most informative visit. As there was not cask ale available I sampled some Sam Smith's Stout.

Evening visit. Ale at £1.90pp obviously a draw for the locals in the left hand bar.

Very attractive pub from the outside and a rather pleasant interior. However, pub is brought down by unfriendly barman and the fact it's full of alcoholics who are only there because the beers cheap. I probably wouldn't come back in here.

Samuel Smith's - Old Brewery Bitter4.00AcceptableYup, fairly ok. Malty and creamy. Not bad.

Good atmosphere and a decent cheap burger too, easy to see why this place won an award for the conversion.

Lateish on a Wednesday evening. Some locals in playing chess or chatting at the bar. I really liked the bar lady. Very chatty and happy to help. Sat at the bar and had a bottle of Nut Brown Ale and had a bottle of the cherry beer to take away and drink in my hotel.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Samuel Smith's - Old Brewery Bitter4.00PoorA hell of a lot better than the pint I had in the Cittie of Yorke but still not a whole lot of flavour, some spritzy hop finish, but overall still a sub standard bitter. No off flavours, just not a very good bitter, no matter if it was 77p for a half.

The pub is found in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, PE1 1QA.

Several old almshouses knocked into one pub, but lovingly done so, with the stone flagged floors and lots of wood. Lots of tables in quiet corners to have a beer in. Very welcoming especially so close to the centre of town. 2 handpumps in each of the two bar serving areas. Upon re-opening in early 2019 after a period of closure real ale is no longer sold here.

We have visited this pub 7 times, seen 1 beer and tried it.
