About This Pub

Ah, the Blue Pits Inn – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local haunt, you know? With a solid 4.4 rating from folks who've popped in, it's clear that many appreciate the warm, welcoming vibe and the landlady's friendly touch. I love how it's perfect for settling in with a nice pint and maybe a hearty pie – that Holland one with gravy and peas sounds like a winner for a proper meal. The prices are dead reasonable too, so you can enjoy a few drinks without worrying about the wallet. On the flip side, if you're up for something more energetic, it might not quite hit the mark; it's more about quiet surroundings and a relaxed crowd, which isn't everyone's cup of tea. Still, for a straightforward, no-nonsense spot to unwind, it's got that charm that keeps people coming back – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, especially for a midweek wind-down or a casual quiz night.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The atmosphere is really welcoming and friendly, making it a great spot for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
  • They've got a solid selection of beers, including top-notch pints that hit the spot every time.
  • Prices are spot on for a budget-friendly night out – you won't break the bank for a good drink or a bite.
  • Service is quick and efficient; you'll be served and seated without any faff, which is always a plus.
  • The food's a highlight, like that superb Holland pie with gravy and peas – proper comforting grub.
Cons
  • It might feel a bit too quiet if you're after a lively, buzzing evening; it's more suited to a chilled vibe.
  • The beer selection, while decent, isn't anything extraordinary – some might find it a tad unremarkable.
  • It's not the place for a younger crowd looking for a 'rockin' night out, so it could disappoint if that's what you're after.

The three stars are a reflection on what you might want. If you're 21 and looking for a 'rockin' night, then The Blue Pits is not for you. However, if you want a quiet drink in quiet surroundings, then this may be the place for you. The beer is J W Lees,(unremarkable), but they are particularly welcoming of dogs

I would like to say this pub has such an amazing environment and such outstanding hospitality! I recommend if you’re ever in the area you should pop in and grab a drink, alcoholic or not because they have a wide range of beverages and they are very well priced! Highly recommended
