    Think you're being a little unfair there. Every time I've been to the Grove, they've always had 2-3 pale beers on. (Last time it was Golden Salamander, Ilkley Mary Jane and something from Goose Eye.) As has often been noted on these boards a good pub will always offer a broad spectrum of styles on the pumps, which the Grove does admirably. Even as an ardent Ossett / Fernandes fan and confirmed hophead I feel their venues sometimes go into pale beer overload.

    Two outstanding candidates for POTM. The Star Inn ,Bath would have won hands down most months but was pipped by The Bartons Arms..This pub is well known to PuG regulars after last years meet up,I was really impressed with both the interior and Oakham's top ales.I really hope this pub works for Oakham,as they have seemingly spent a lot of money maintaining the interior of a pub which is in an unpromising location.I also though the Thai food was excellent value and well cooked if you need to grab a bite while in the area.

    Totally unfair and totally wrong.

    The two beers I had in The Grove on this particular visit were:-

    Salamander Interceptor - Pale

    and

    Ridgeside Desert Aire - Pale.

    Done quite a few new pubs in June but the standout pub for me was on our little Oxford Jaunt. The Eagle & Star was not only my favourite of the 13 we ventured into but also came up trumps with my BofW so, amongst strong competition, the Eagle & Star it is!
