Pub of the Season
Spring Pub of the Season Presentation
Stables, Barton-upon-Humber
Scunthorpe & District CAMRA's Spring Pub of the Season is Stables on
Holydyke in Barton. Stables opened in its purpose built premises in
September 2009, and has gained an excellent reputation for its interesting,
high quality, but good value, food and drink.
Managed since March 2010 by Martin Gilbert, Stables is a sister
establishment to Hull's 'Larkin's' and 'Henry East' - both located on
Newlands Avenue. All three are owned by a partnership of Hull based father
and son Tony and Danny Robinson and their friend Chris Easthaugh.
Stables offers two ever-changing, always well-kept and reasonably priced real ales on
hand pump. One of these is frequently from the Wold Top Brewery range
with the other generally being from another local brewery such as Great
Newsome, Oldershaw, Fulstow, Riverside or Old Mill. There are also
continental beers and ciders on draught, and an extensive range of
international bottled beers.
There is ample comfortable space for a drink at
the bar and the refectory style tables, chairs and benches at the front are,
when possible, kept free for the increasing number of customers who wish
to just have a drink. Manager Martin is enthusiastic about real ale and is
keen to both offer people the opportunity to try new ales and also to
promote real ale as an accompaniment to food.
A forthcoming event in
association with Wold Top Brewery on Tuesday 24th April will give customers
the opportunity to taste different (bottled) ales matched with appropriate
dishes including dessert and cheese. Further information about this ticket
only event, opening hours, contact details etc. can be found at:

Congratulations to Martin and his friendly, efficient team on being recipients
of this award.
