Noreen and Aidan took over running the Kings Head and Bell in December, and will be holding a charity beer festival over St Patrick’s weekend 16th – 19th March. They will be donating 10p for each pint of real ale or cider sold over the four days towards the Air Ambulance.

Make sure you check your pint for a full measure – I’ve visited the KHAB twice in recent weeks and had to ask for a top-up on every pint.
There’s an old trick of stopping them from short measuring a pint, next time they serve it you ask them if they can squeeze a double scotch in it? When they say yes ask them why they haven’t filled the glass then !
One other way – less subtle – is to call in Weights and Measures/Office of Fair Trading.
It may be a genuine mistake, it may be inexperienced bar staff, but short measures are illegal – aren’t they? In any event if you pay for a pint, a pint is what you should get.
I hope KH and B continues to flourish as it has over recent years. Let’s hope that Confused’s experience is a blip.
