Bristol Beer Factory and the Docks Stand Independent - Black Gates
In the last few weeks Diageo, the owners of Guinness, have restricted us, and many small independent pubs, from their usual supply and prioritised selling through large chains. So, from today, Guinness will no longer be sold here. I can’t compete on fair terms and give my customers a reasonable price point so I will…
I take a journey to mid Devon to visit the Utopian Brewery meeting Head Brewer Jeremy Swainson

100% Score with Cask Marque for the last 4 Assessments
A few days ago… one of my regulars asked me how we keep our beer so consistently good. I paused and thought for a moment and then said, ‘I’ll show you…’, and off to the cellar we went. Sometime later, he paused, looked at me and said, “I will always drink my beer with greater…

Bewit - Dinnington Docks Cider
Bewit is the Dinnington Docks own Cider, produced less than a mile from the pub by the Dinnington Cider Press, from Apples that come from their own orchard or just over the road from a neighbouring orchard. So, we should start by explaining the name – why Bewit? Dinnington means the settlement of the Dynne’s…

On the 20th March Boris Johnson announces Pubs are to close...
18 months after I bought my favourite pub the first major pandemic of our generation hits, people are dying, and the world seems to be going mad. On the 20th March Boris Johnson announces that UK pubs will close, and we shut down. I have to say I spent the next few weeks thinking my…
What we're doing and what it means to you
When we took over the Dinnington Docks a global pandemic was not even a remote consideration, in fact closure for any reason other than improvements was not considered. And here we are, we’ve all been locked down, many businesses have been closed and the talk is all about the ‘new normal’. We have been told…

This loop is 3.3 miles, with a total ascent of 233ft, it will take 1 hour 15 minutes. Please do respect the paths and where possible walk in furrows not through any crops, you might get shouted at if not! This is the first of many walks that Michelle and I plan to document over…
The Dinnington Docks is so many peoples’ favourite pub, they’ve told me… I knew the Docks has a following, a great bunch of Guests that have not been backward in coming forward and voicing their opinions.
