We’ve been visiting some
Nottinghamshire pubs and we decided to end our tour with a visit to Beeston. It’s
the first stop on the train back home, so we catch an earlier one to visit this
famous pub that’s in CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide. The pub backs onto the platform
but we can’t find the way in, so we leave the station via the road and walk the
long way round. It’s only when we leave that we find that the exit through the
rear is via the beer garden. The pub itself is quite busy as there’s a beer
festival and many other people are making their way home the long way round
too. There’s a chalk board above the door with a list of beers alongside a display
of mobile phones nailed through their screens into the wall. Evidently this pub
landlord likes his conversations to be local, as there’s no music either. There’s
a second room full of pub awards and memorabilia, and this room too is full of
diners. We reach the outside beer tent which is a shed with a large marquee and
many picnic tables for us to enjoy our beer.
