Happy Moose Drinker's Qype profile

A proper wonderful pub, the internal walls of which are decorated with many war related items of interest (the street leads to where the drill hall/recruitment centre was in the First World War).

Robinsons Dizzy Blonde was a really nice beer and they kindly let me order some haggis to go with it, shortly after the official kitchen closure.

There is a naughty pub cat who doesn't take kindly to being shut out of the pub area when food is being served. He/She managed to sneak in but didn't ask me for any haggis.

They like to preserve the traditional pub atmosphere that they enjoy and to this end have quite a few rules! 

Charming place. A friendly locals kind of place. There is an extra warmth to these kind of places that cannot be measured using mercury.

The beer was good, choosing from Proper Job, Dartmoor, Tribute + HSD.

Another Dancing Duck brewery pub, but a modern one this time. They offered a wider beer (and cider) selection but I preferred the look and feel of their other pub! Still a nice place though.

A random voice called out to me in toilet. Some poor guy was caught with his pants around his ankles. I went to the bar to report the need for TP. The laughing came when the poor guy returned to his drink!

Just three stars is probably a little harsh but I was a wee bit disappointed given the great expectations I'd been given for this nice spit n sawdust venue.

The bar is obviously doing very well for itself, it was packed on a night when other pubs nearby were not very busy. Fighting my way to the bar to only find a couple of beers, 1 very common, was a let down given what I'd heard. The beer I went for, Arty Farty was alright.

The throwback of a bartender did have what I believe are commonly referred to these days as 'mad skillz' when it came to the topping up of patrons pints!

The dogs in St Germain clearly have something against me as they barked me a most hostile welcome chorus that I could hear most of the way to the local pub.

Thankfully the pub was much more welcoming and I stayed to enjoy a good beef curry, washed down with the always delicious Proper Job. It is a bit foody in places, but is otherwise a lovely place.

The dogs let me leave without comment.
