Ian Mapp left this review about The Newman Arms
My 10 year anniversary revisit happens again! Last time here in 2016, it was very shabby. I seem to remember a picture of Orwell above the bar and a bike - possibly attached to the wall.
Its now been completely refitted in a quite garish red. A TV screen has a rotating powerpoint presentation with some old photos and some details to his history as a candle shop, brothel etc. Orwell is mentioned. Peeping Tom isnt.
Couple of ironic things.... this was my first cask marque accredited pub of the evening. They had no cask. The handpulls had broken.
And for the Proles Pub in 1984, there's a certain amount of irony to be had charging £7.80 pints of lager.
You know what, I am unsure if I will be back in 2036 :-)

Quite a let down this one, the promising exterior leads to a poorly modernised small interior more akin to a Cocktail bar, the two adjoined alcove rooms downstairs are more cosy but I generally prefer to sit in view of the bar. Four handpumps but no cask available on my Saturday visit! there was a turned Redemption clip and one other so presumably cask is available on occasion.My Big Penny Pale Ale on keg was somewhat nondescript.I'd say it's not likely I'll return here.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Newman Arms
Was a cosy little terraced pub until modernised as the Truman's tap, but still with some attractive tiling under the front windows. Can get very crammed inside, but it also has a couple of alcoves downstairs that might be worth a look if busy. Trinity (horribly £5.50 for a 3.0% beer) and Kazbek from the four handpumps on this visit, plus four of the brewery's craft beers and a lager from among the keg offerings.
