The Bridewell

This ex police central jail converted into a bar was brought to my attention by a friend. As a result I sought it out and what a great little bar it is. There is plentiful outdoor seating but the real magic and character is on the inside.!! Enjoy your drinks in one of the cells, really cool. There is an excellent array of beers as well. I did not eat there so I cannot comment on the food offering. If you are in the area give the bar a go and try a cell out without being in trouble.

The Bridewell is a spotlessly clean and well kept pub with a long and interesting history. The beer selection is great and every beer Ive tried has been excellent. There is unusual seating in the old prisoner cells and a variety of tables and chairs around the rest of the pub and beer garden. Service is first rate and team occasionally bring your beers to the table to save you waiting at the bar.

No food, but Very good for beer and conversation. The landlord takes all beer (not just real ale) seriously and knows his stuff. Small side rooms make it perfect for small group conversation without being drowned out by noise elsewhere. But they have a large function room as well.

Lovely pub and staff are excellent.

Unbelievably quick service! And really friendly staff!
