| Poppleton's biggest pub, catering
as much for food as drink, and coming too close to being something like
a Big Steak Pub for my liking. It's all a bit anonymous inside, with a large
seating area in the back for eating in, and a very similar lounge bar in
the front for having a pint. To be fair though, it was this pub that made
me review my opinion of Bass beer, as I used to pop in when it was busy
and the pints were flowing freely, making a scoop of the landlord's finest
foaming ale something to write home about. They also have tables out front
and in the garden, so you can enjoy a nice beer while overlooking the village
green and wondering if the Maypole is some sort of giant fertility symbol,
the seventeenth century version of a laser beam or a pretentious village
statement. Answers on a postcard please. |
