Drink in Peterborough
Peterborough has a large number of average pubs but some which are outstanding.
The Brewery Tap is the former unemployment office, converted into a pub and microbrewery in the late 1990s. It has won awards from national magazines for its quality. It serves Thai food, but more notably a huge range of 'real ales' - traditional English beers which are not pasteurised or gassed with CO2. Its 'native' beer is brewed by Oakham Ales, , which once ran the micro-brewery you can see through the plate glass panels. The Brewery Tap is across Bourges Boulevard from the rail station, just a short walk.
On the river at Town Bridge, a converted Dutch grain barge, Charters, also serves a range of traditional beers. It has a restaurant, East , upstairs serving Asian 'fusion' food, and downstairs a bar which doubles as a music venue on some weekends, with late-night live blues and other music, Additionally, Charters has a large 'bandstand' garden designed by noted UK landscaper Bunny Guinness.
The tiny Palmerston Arms is one of England's most traditional pubs. Instead of serving its traditional ales from pumps on the bar, it serves them downstairs in the cellar direct from the cask, and brings the ales to the bar. The 'Palmie' is south of the city on Oundle Road, very close to Charters
