The Abbey at Woodseats about to take a turn for the worse

[muddycoffee]

At last I have been in the Abbey under it's new ownership. The surroundings seemed pleasant enough and better without so much excess furniture and room to move around.

 

However I am still confused as to why there are 4 hand pull taps and a single electric tap in a line with every one selling Light Ale. 5 different brands of Light ale!

They are nice enough, but most people would struggle to tell them apart in a taste test.

Are there new owners though or still `tied`?

I think it is still owned by Punch Taverns.

Correct, unless it has been sold in the last few weeks. Has been Punch for ages. Heineken did buy a batch, but Punch oversaw the refurb for sure, not sure this was one Heineken picked up.

Actually I stand corrected, it has been retained as a Punch 'centre of excellence'.

Most of the people I know that used to go in every week, but now rarely go in it wouldn't consider it good and certainly not excellent.

nipped in last night with the missus after work for a couple about 6pm dead as a do do! not sure what they are trying to do ? moved in a load of dining tables and removed most of the comfy seats, asked for a number of drinks , sorry not got pino, sauv blanc , chardonnay, stopped doing pork scratchings etc etc the Amstel had a funny taste maybe the lines had just been cleaned and not quite flushed? doubt we will go again.

seems the new landlord is trying to make a bit of an effort on the beer options. They posted on the facebook page 5 real ales coming up.

 

Chantry - Steelos

Fuggle bunny - Jammy Dodger

Little Critters - Shire Horse

Blue Monkey - Infinity IPA

Sheffield Brewery Co - Crucible Best.

 

Nice to see new options and the Facebook post seems to indicate more local brewery ales to come.
