Pub of the Season
Pub of the Season Autumn 2011
Pooleys, Messingham
Our Autumn Pub of the Season is Pooleys located on Messingham High
Street. Pooleys was originally a tea room (and still is during the day),
opened six years ago by Neil and Sharon Poole. Neil was keen to
promote Lincolnshire produce, and when customers started asking for
Lincolnshire beers with their ploughman's lunches, the idea for a
licensed bar was born.
Pooleys was licensed in December 2010, and
after numerous requests to open in the evening, they finally did so in
April 2011. Since then Pooleys has gone from strength to strength, and
is now a sought after stopping off point for Messingham folk and those
from further afield on Tuesday to Saturday evenings from 6 pm.
Their beers are supplied through Batemans, and usually comprise two
Batemans beers and a guest beer - recent guests have included Castle
Rock Harvest Pale, Hook Norton Haymaker, Everards Tiger and St.
Austell Tribute. No keg bitters are stocked - instead Neil puts on Peroni
lager, Marstons Oyster Stout and Thatcher's Gold cider, to give as wide
a range of drinks as possible.
In the New Year, Neil is planning a mini-beer festival, featuring
Lincolnshire beers. We look forward to that, and congratulate Neil and
Sharon on their award, presented on Tuesday 18 October.
