Our Drink

What we try to do is please our local audience by offering something a little different and where we can, a little local.

In wines we stick to a simple rule the wine has got to taste good and represent good value for money, its about quality, but we also like to have quantity too, offering a list of 40 to 50 wines that cover most bases, occasions and tastes.

In the world of beers and lagers we always make sure there are some friendly familiar faces, but also something a little different. Our range of cask ales vary considerably from pub to pub but most will have 3 or 4 that dont change very often, ideally supporting local brewers and 2 or 3 that rotate to encourage that niggling urge many of us have to try something new.

B & P Traditional Bitters

All of our pubs offer a Brunning and Price Traditional Bitter, brewed with the utmost of care and attention and of course regular quality control testing by ourselves to make sure everything is just so.

The ales are different in the north and the south, brewed through two different breweries. If you would like to know more about their stories, then read on: Brunning and Price Original and Brunning and Price Traditional.

Folk from across the pubs, Assistants, Deputies the odd Manager who’d like to brush up on their wine knowledge have been meeting each week at the Mill House, Hook, to study for their WSET qualification. And what a lovely bunch the have been.

Lessons all completed, wine and spirits tasted and guest speakers from Liberty Wines bid farewell. They all took their test earlier in the month and we are eagerly awaiting results day.

But safe to say, if you’d like to ask one of them about which wine might match which dish, or actually what’s the best wine to drink in front of the fire this Autumn or what’s emerging in the spirits world – you are in safe hands!
