Fanny's Ale House


Fanny's Ale House has long been a favourite watering hole with locals, serving a variety of cask and real ales. It was once a pet shop, and then the plan was apparently to open a fish and chip shop but it eventually became a pub. The previous owner had it for 20 years, during which time it expanded into several adjacent properties. Last year it was taken over by new owners, who moved the bar from its central position to a more sensible long bar down the left wall, but otherwise they have pledged to keep the features people have grown to love. I've only been in once or twice (I'm not a drinker) but it is often full and clearly popular. Inside it's fairly traditional with a warren of small rooms and open fires, very cosy in winter. When the weather warms up, people often sit outside and sometimes it seems like there's a bit of a party going on on the pavement! If you're hungry, you can always pop round for a Chinese takeaway from next door.

  1. It is good to have a local pub that one can walk to and from without worrying abut DUI.

  2. It looks a friendly pub. Everyone looks like they are enjoying the sun while we have cold winds.

  3. This does look like a fun and popular place. While I too am not a drinker, I would certainly have ventured a look inside and maybe had a glass of wine while there.
