Mike has built an enviable reputation for his cask beers over the last decade. His secret lies in his constant pursuit of perfection, his cellar skills and the cellar itself. Unlike many ‘corporate’ and more modern pubs, the Horse & Groom has a traditional underground cellar so the beer is kept at a constant temperature. A constant temperature ensures a better taste whilst raising the beer from the cellar by traditional hand pump improves the presentation of the beer in the glass. There is also a good choice of chilled lagers including the premium brand Warsteiner. No wonder the Horse & Groom is mentioned ion despatches in the Good Beer Guide.

If beer isn’t your tipple you will find a comprehensive selection of quality wines from around the world at sensible prices. Mike and Michelle use a small importer that specialises in small, unusual, high quality vineyards and you can buy wines by the glass or by the bottle.

Whether you prefer beer or wine, if the weather is right you can enjoy your tipple in our fully enclosed garden to the rear of the pub.
