The Globe

Have you read George Orwell's essay about The Moon Under Water, a fictitious perfect pub. If it wasn't based on The Globe, it should have been. I drink their Strongarm, brewed locally, cellared brilliantly and served slightly chilled with a 2 inch head, nectar. Always a welcome, roaring real fires and traditional decor make it feel like pubs used to do, regulars and occasionals are greeted with equal warmth. You'll go a long, long way to find a better proper local.

A really interesting and enjoyable place to visit. Although it was a cold blustery February day the welcome was warm and the guided tour round the ship was full of interesting facts and stories. Superb atmospheric cafe and lots of old fashioned quayside workshops. Would be a good day out for children too.

Always enjoy popping in here - usually a Porter or a Stout to keep my interest up - and during the week one can often get a cracking pork pie for about £1.20. We like the Sunday quiz and the new bar arrangements have worked a treat. This place, along with the Globe, are our go-to pubs
