About This Pub
Oh, The Black Rat is one of those hidden gems you stumble upon and end up raving about to everyone – it's got that genuine, welcoming feel that makes you want to come back. From what I've gathered from folks' chats, the beers are spot on, always well-kept with a great variety, and they've got gins to boot if that's your thing. It's super dog-friendly too, which is brilliant if you're out for a walk and fancy a stop-off. The staff really shine here; they're chatty and make the place feel like a proper local hangout. On the flip side, it's a shame they don't do food, so you might need to plan ahead if you're peckish, and it can get a bit snug inside when it's lively. All in all, if you're in the area, it's well worth a visit for a pint and a chat – just the sort of place that brings a smile to your face after a long day.
