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.

Spotted this whilst planning a trip to St Neots The missus, who is a big Cath Kidson fan absolutely loved it and spent quite a few bob there. She tells me all she bought were absolute bargains at the prices she paid. I got major brownie points and a couple of hours in the Pub for my thoughtfulness so a good result all round. The prices seemed a lot cheaper to me than their usual shops, but I am no expert on such matters. A minor suggestion to the Outlet. You have thoughtfully put a table and a couple of chairs in the foyer, but a pay coffee machine and your guest wifi code would be useful. I spent an hour sitting there and it would have been so much nicer with those couple of additions. No doubt we will be visiting there again when we are in the area!!

Paxton Pits Nature Reserve

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.
