| hard to say how attached the neighbouring Ma Berry's is to this place - there seems to be a through way from one bar to the other. It was okay 4.50 here for a pint of 'premium Belgian lager' I'd never heard of before (Hever Lee) though it weren't bad and I sculled it off easily enough. Snarling_Mallard - 6 Aug 2018 00:54 |
| Another impressive Victorian pub also included on the CAMRA National Inventory. The interior, while nowhere near as impressive, is not dissimilar to The Crown in Belfast, with a row of enclosed snugs opposite the bar. The pub was run by the same family for over a hundred years, the present owners having taken over three year ago. One of them spoke to us at length about the history of the pub of which he is clearly and rightly proud of. He explained the purpose of the bronze statuette that sits on the bar, (a statue of the Tichborne Claimant) - it was a cigarette lighter which produced a flame when activated by the barman. Sadly someone broke a piece of the device two weeks ago, so it no longer works! Mention must be made of the huge lamp (engraved with Mandeville Arms) that hangs over the entrance. No ale on tap but the pint of Guinness I had was very good. This is a beautiful pub and not to be missed if you are in the area. holbornboy - 7 Mar 2010 23:18 |
