About Three Johns
Sizeable, dark wood-panelled bar with exposed brick, for craft beers on tap and sourdough pizzas.
03/09/24 - 3 handpumps, 2 turned round. One saying coming soon: Coniston Bluebird
No cask ale as of 20th Jan 2022 which continued well into the year, but as at 08/10/22 we received the following report - "Real ale reinstated and sampled last night, with two from Bedlam Brewery. Benchmark, the other forgotten."
It became a Hobgoblin around 2008 but in 2012 changed name again to The Fallen Angel. Closed in the summer of 2013, re-opened as a craft beer pub operated by Barworks, in May 2014, reverting to its old name, Three Johns - who were three 18th century radicals. Cask plus lots of craft keg and a huge range of bottled beers.
The pub now has a very impressive copper tiled ceiling, it's a vast space with two separate areas (the smaller back area is available for private hire and may often be used as such by after-work groups). Bare brick features, unmatched tables and chairs seem to ex-Church seats with the back slot for bibles, probably not now getting much use for their original purpose!), huge picture windows and wooden floor. Pizza is served in the pub and can also be be taken away or delivered via Deliveroo.

I came to see the place due to it being the first outside representation of the Nags Head in Only Fools and Horses looks very different to back them!! It's a lovely clean pub with very friendly staff and a great range of different beers. To me it comes across as a hipster pub but I'm quite old so it might just be young people lol.

Really enjoyed our first night in the area, finding this adorable pub around the corner from our hotel. Our servers Billy and Hugo were fun, funny, made great recommendations and a birthday celebration a night to remember. The apps we got were delicious and the cocktails were perfection- especially their assortment of mini-shooters!! Thank you and only wish you were around the corner of my house in the US!

The pizza here is reliably outstanding. The beer and gin selection is fantastic. The decor is welcoming and unique, and there is a good mix of outdoor and indoor seating. Always friendly bar staff too

Went in yesterday with my Wife for a pizza and a pint. Three John's stands out in the area for offering something others do not. The craft beer selection is wide, the pizza is great and the interior is stunning. Being a Publican myself I understand how loved this place is by the team here.
