About This Pub

Oh, what a little gem The Little Ale House is – tucked away on the High Street, it's one of those places that just makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. I've heard from folks who've been that the beers are top-notch, with a brilliant range of real ales and ciders, especially the local ones that give it that authentic touch. The staff? They're an absolute delight, always up for a natter and making sure everyone feels welcome, which really sets the tone for a relaxed evening. Prices are fair too, so you can enjoy a few without worrying about the wallet. On the flip side, it's worth noting that it's not open every day, so you might have to plan around that, and if you're peckish for more than just a quick snack, you'll probably need to sort that out beforehand. Still, for anyone after a proper pub experience with great drinks and good company, it's well worth seeking out – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, as it's one of those spots that leaves you with a smile.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The selection of real ales and ciders is absolutely spot on – plenty of local brews to choose from, making it a real treat for beer enthusiasts.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready with a smile and a chat, which makes the whole experience feel like catching up with old mates.
  • It's got a warm, cosy atmosphere that's perfect for a relaxed pint, whether you're popping in for a quick one or settling in for the evening.
  • Prices are reasonable, so you won't break the bank enjoying a quality drink – always a bonus when you're out for a good time.
  • The focus on local producers adds a nice community feel, supporting nearby breweries and giving it that authentic pub charm.
Cons
  • It's only open five days a week, which might catch you out if you're planning a spontaneous visit on a quiet day.
  • Food options are limited to just bar snacks, so if you're after a proper meal, you might need to head elsewhere first.
  • Their website seems a bit glitchy, which could make it tricky to check opening times or get more info before you go.

Great little micropub! Very friendly owners with a warm welcome. Nice selection of ales and ciders. 5 taps and countless barrels out the back. Reasonable prices. Didn’t put a rating for food as it’s bar snacks only. Definitely recommend if in the area. All local breweries and a wide choice to suit any tastes.

I came here for flat ciders and really enjoyed it. Little micropub located on the left side of the High street as you walk up. They had 9 flat ciders on, went with the Saxby's one as that is a local one from literally 4 miles away !. Friendly owner and locals, £4 for a cider which is pretty good. Deffo worth a visit, I will be back

A lovely place for Ale and other drinks. The best part is at the back as we sat next to the kegs and a staff is there pouring it. The landlords are friendly and welcoming, the landlady was lovely . Iswellwortha visit if you are walking the Waendel Walk or just visiting the town. I was with a group and we were warming up to our 25km X 2 days ....prices are good and you will want to try the fresh made ciders and Ales.
