The Ale Taster

Reviewed By pdjohns

This is real pub with a nice atmosphere and plenty of real ales to satisfy the serious beer chaser. Its different to other pubs on several fronts - the warm welcome, excellent covid protection for the staff and customers, a great selection of locally brewed ales and a wide selection of bottled beer, lager and stouts. The garden accommodation has protection from the weather as well as covid and the toilet arrangements - green light, red light to assist social distancing are an experience. If you are looking for a quiet drink and a friendly atmosphere you should try it.

I was cautious about visiting due to the pandemic but I have to say there was nothing to worry about. Sanitisation stations were set up and staff were washing wetsuits, life jackets and hats in between sessions. All staff were wearing masks and giving social distancing reminders. The safety briefing was informative and the life guards were distributed well around the equipment. We all felt safe and well looked after. The chicken burgers are fantastic and we shall definitely be visiting again.

St Neots Museum

Reviewed By LucyA1001 - Cambridge, United Kingdom

Really cute little museum, friendly staff. Great way to spend a rainy afternoon with the kids! Police cells really interesting, quick overview of history from prehistoric through to modern day downstairs and a 1930’s house upstairs. we particularly liked the school room with anecdotes from local people reminiscing about their school days and slates to write on (bought one in the gift shop in fact!).

Reviewed By tracey24wilks - Manchester, United Kingdom

We go here often and enjoy the walks around several lakes and along the river. There are hides to watch the birds and a visitor centre with lovely, well-informed volunteer staff (who make a very good cup of tea) . Lots of wildlife to see, although we haven’t yet been lucky enough to spot the resident otters.

Amazing welcome, very helpful and informative staff. The pub was exceptionally clean and it all made for a relaxing visit. Alex the barman was exemplary in his effort to please customers.
