Hook Norton Cold Turkey at the Alexandra Arms, Rugby
We were looking forward to coming here as we knew that there
was an on-site brewery. We walked in on a cold and wet late Saturday afternoon
expecting the pub to be buzzing. We walked into a dark and dingy room. The woman
serving our drinks didn’t seem the least bit interested in us other than taking
our drink orders, and the beer wasn’t of great quality anyway. We retired to
the back room which had a pool table and through the window we could see a makeshift
shed which we assumed to be the brewery; but it was too wet for us to venture outside
and investigate. We made good use of the pool table and stayed for another
drink to sample more beer; though I was keen to move on. Towards the end of our
game a band arrived to set themselves up for the evening, but no-one seemed bothered
or even acknowledged our presence. Perhaps we visited on an off day. Since then
I’ve discovered that they’ve had a refurbishment and they’ve even changed the
name of the pub, so I’m willing to give it another go.
