Morehall, Cheritonback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
The bottled ales are rotated and last week, I had Jennings "Sneck Lifter" and Old Specklesd Hen. The Landlord told me he is always open to suggestions for other bottled ales.

No more real ale here. It was good whilst they had it on, but I suppose more was being thrown down the drain than being sold. However, they now stock a number of bottled ales, so all is not lost.
On my visit yesterday, whilst waiting for a train, I had a bottle of Marston's "Owd Rodger", followed by a bottle of Wychwood "Fiddler's Elbow". The other two on offer were Wychwood "Hobgoblin" and Theakston's "Old Peculier".
It seems to me therefore, that although the pub cannot support a regular real ale, there must be a market amongst the lagerboys who go there for real ale, and full credit to the management for that.

Popped back in yesterday to try a pint of wallop! A very good pint of "Directors'" - yes, I know that seems like an oxymoron! I don't think Conniwot would approve as it also sells F*****'s.
6/10

Well, what a surprise! I called in yesterday evening before catching my train. Prompt service indeed - in fact I was so stunned that I didn't even notice the two beer engines that had been installed ( Courage Best and Director's ) until I'd ordered my Guinness.
I feel someone has gone way overboard with the number of England flags around the walls and ceilings.
The clientele were a real mixed bag of types, and this time not a baseball cap or a pair of Reebok Classics in sight! In addition to the pool tables, there is also a bar-football game, and a couple of games machines and Sky Sports - good to see England win the second test yesterday.
Food appears to be good value, although nobody was eating as it was early evening. It's no longer a "Mr Q's" pub, and has improved considerably since my last visit. 5/10.

I can understand the comments bout this pub, however, as I live very very close to it, its like a second home!! It can look a bit intimidating when you first walk in and there is a fair amount of Burberry etc, but its all harmless. Ive been in the Morehall probably over 30 times and never seen any agro etc. Good atmos and unbelievably cheap being a Mr Qs pub. Worth a visit. Food is well cheap too

A truly abysmal establishment. You'll enjoy it if you wear a Burberry baseball cap, and your idea of a good night out is drinking a couple of gallons of yellow fizzy stuff ( manufactured by Pfizer ), a large doner kebab with extra chilli sauce, and followed by projectile vomiting!
