Beer Festival Now On


Our "Farewell to Ross" beer festival is now on.

Couple of changes to the list.

South Hams Eddystone is not ready, although it looks like it might clear up.

Kelham Island Pale Rider is off, however we have a second firkin, so it should be on Wed/Thurs.

Tryst Carronade IPA will probably never clear.

An addition to the list is Otley Colomb-o 4.0%
A golden ale with an intense hoppy aroma and bitter flavour. Hops and fruit on the aftertaste lead to a satisfying bitter finish.

Christmas Menu Now Out

Our Christmas menu is now out. If last year is anything to go by, you will need to book early!
Give us a call

19th Sep 2007

We are open!

Today the signage and flowers went up on the outside of the pub. Now open 2 weeks and the work is still not finished!!
The pub looks great and with 8 ale pumps the choice is even greater than before.

6th Aug 2007

Closing for a refurb

I haven't put any news up for over a year, I promise to keep you more updated in the future!!
Anyway,we are closing down this weekend for 3 weeks to do some work on the pub. Don't worry, we will still be a traditional pub when we reopen, just fresher. The main job will be putting in a new staircase from the main bar to the upstairs room, and moving the upstairs bar to a better location.
A new carpet, new upholstery, new tiles, repaint in and out, redecorate toilets and AIR-CONDITIONING at last.
We are also adding 2 extra real ale pumps, to take us up to 8, and installing a new cooling system to maintain a perfect serving temperature no matter what the weather!
We hope to reopen on Thursday evening on 30th August, all going well!

8th May 2006

New Menu is Proving Very Popular

Andrian and Elena from AP Catering Ltd have settled into the kitchen (now in their third week). Their food is excellent, contemporary pub food cooked with fresh ingredients.
After many late nights and weekends spent re-organising the kitchen and installing new equipment, we now have everything in place. Come along and try some REAL FOOD at The Edgar Wallace.
