Common Rooms (previously Chalk Valley), Bedford Place (Closed)




A "grass fed" burger bar and minimal modern restaurant on London Road which expanded into the space next door in 2016, and created a cafe and bar serving four casks and eight kegs.  I visited with Ian on the November 2016 beer crawl, and we both liked the place. We had the Red Cat Strata, and a few others. I intended to come back with the family because as well as meat they also do egg dishes, so veggies are not turned away.  Came here July 2017, and the place is closed with a notice on the window saying they are undergoing refurbishment, and will open again in September. The place looked fine in November, so I wonder on what scale is the refurbishment to take place!

Date: July 2017

Update: Chalk Valley reopened in March 2018 as Common Rooms with 16 kegs and four cask handpumps (mostly inactive), serving burgers and chips. But closed in October 2018.
