MAY 2025 - NOTE: This pub often serves a Pilot beer labelled “Pours like cask, fresh from the keg” by handpump. CAMRA classifies this as Real Ale IN THIS PUB as the beer is Live and a cask breather/aspirator used to maintain the protective gas blanket at atmospheric pressure. OCT 2024 - One handpump installed so now selling real ale, Pilot Stout being the first available. AUG 2024 - Reopened as the False Widow. Sister pub to Mother Superior and Powder Room. A few mainstream keg beers but mostly local beers from Pilot, Newbarns, Campervan, Vault City, etc
