The Ostrich Inn - Peterborough

Another amazing real ale pub with many awards including Pboro Best Pub 2022. A wide range of ales gins rums and just about everything. A vibrant live music venue too with just about every genre of music showcased. You cannot miss out this amazing and unique pub.

Awesome pub for good beers becoming The Peterborough venue for live music and a good atmosphere. Accidentally left my phone bank card there last night the fabulous bar staff kept it safe, worked out who I was sent me a Messenger message in the early hours to say that they had it. Fantastic service going above beyond. Thank you Phil much appreciated

Two people that work there are so moody and hard to talk to. David being one of them. He has made it his own pub. That is why it is always slow in the week. If there was a person who was sociable working behind the bar it would attract mostly normal kinds of people. The last owner that was there advertised for worker that were slightly quirky because he thought it was cool to have that to attract a different type of persons. Now the pup has to think outside of the box because bands will probably be no longer as they are turning the shopping centre Beals into apartments. It would be a great place if it was more family friendly with staff being micro managed to a standard that is acceptable to the general public. As it is it’s not a place that you would want to bring your family along to. It is a loner pub for working class. Nothing wrong with that but it is a central pub and should be looking forwards as I would hate to see another pub close in Peterborough as others have done. A pub is a great pub and a busy pub if the staff a friendly. Evolving isn’t standing still. You can’t polish a turd.

We stumbled across this pub on a visit to Peterborough just as we were about to give up on the city. Real ale, live music and a nice atmosphere. It was a diamond in the rough.

This is a small backstreet pub which luckily has really well kept ales otherwise there’d be little to recommend it. The staff were largely indifferent to my requests and when they could be dragged away from conversations with regulars involving buying a large knife , conveyed to me that there was no food available because they only did pies and as these were frozen, it would take 40 minutes to cook one . Had I known this I would obviously have decided I wanted to eat 40 minutes before I knew I wanted to. After that , I was of no interest to them.
