Greatly extended in 2021, the Tap Yard is next to the main brewhouse. As well as a selection of Loddon cask ales on handpump, three keg versions of live Loddon beers are also available. With an indoor bar area, large covered and heated decking area and an uncovered courtyard there is seating for 230. It is a great place to enjoy a pint in the beautiful countryside. The core opening hours are shown, but the Tap Yard is fully licensed until 11pm, so if there are sufficient customers, it may stay open; or groups can visit at other times by prior arrangement.

Winter hours are weather dependent but generally run from sometime in October, through to March.

A small range of home-made snacks are available at the bar, plus a wider range of food through either Proper Takeout, who provide brunches and lunches and Friday Fish & Chips, or other street food vendors who regularly set up in the courtyard on Saturday and Sunday afternoons and evenings.

There is also a separate Farm Shop that is stocked with a wide range of local produce from within 40 miles of the brewery, including meat, cheese, vegetables and bread as well as local ciders, wines, spirits and liqueurs, plus the full range of Loddon beers along with bottled and canned beers from other breweries, all to take away. Growler refills are ordered in the Farm Shop.

The Instagram account for this pub is viewable by left clicking on https://www.instagram.com/loddonbrewery.

They also have a cycling club, Loddon Dragonflies CC @LoddonCC on Twitter.
