PUB AND BREWERY NEWS

At Hemingford Grey the Cock has introduced a policy to source all cask beers from within an hour’s drive of the pub. Buntingford Highwayman has been added as a permanent line.

Another Charles Wells pub has closed. The Swan at Offord Cluny has ceased trading and its future is uncertain. Over twelve Huntingdonshire pubs have closed in the past seven years. Three others with an uncertain future are the Bell at Eaton Socon, the Tavern on the Green in Abbotsley and the Horse and Groom at Thrift. Other permanent losses include the Old Falcon, Angel and Queen Victoria in St Neots, the Black Bull and Unicorn in St Ives, the Bell at Southoe, Crown at Hail Weston, Spread Eagle in Buckden and the Spread Eagle, Croxton.

Welcome to David and Carol who have taken over Charles wells pub the Cambridgeshire Hunter in Berkeley Street, Eynesbury.

Two pubs in St Neots that have reopened recently are the Wrestlers, with Black Sheep amongst the cask beer offerings, and the Bridge House, which has been serving real ales including beers from Theakstons and Greene King as well as Courage Best Bitter and Everards Tiger.

The Crown and Cushion at Great Gransden, sold by Charles Wells a few years ago, now serves beers from the Coors group which is understood to be a part of its leasing arrangements.
