The Tippling Philosopher
The Tippling Philosopher is a family run 16th century free house owned and managed by Dave & Di Belcher who have been in the trade for over 28 years. There is a comprehensive range of Lager and Cider, but the speciality of the house is the ever changing real ales. Where possible 3 are available and they change day-by-day.

Some regular brews come back two or three times a year, others appear but once in a blue moon. With the new addition of "Tipps Best" a regular "fair priced" ale of the house choice. These are restricted at present because of the impact from C-19 See here for all the menus. And if that's not enough, Barbecues and an annual Gin & Cider festival in the summer, Quiz Nights, Skittles, Pool and Darts!

I found this pub to be quite soulless. Noisy locals and too brightly lit. In its favour was a good well kept pint of Doombar and the price was fair.

One of my favourite pubs in the whole world, great friendly atmosphere and the food is exceptional value and quality. Glad it's open again and done so in a safe way for both the staff and the patrons

Well, it's been a fair while since I've been here, so things may have changed, but I think they deserve a review. We used to come by the Philosopher for a few drinks and to play pool- I can't remember but I'm pretty sure the pool was free and they had a darts board too. The drinks that we had were always cheap by today's standards, the staff were always friendly, and the atmosphere is a really nice, warm one.
