Rat Race Ale House



Hartlepool Railway Station



After over 16 years at the Rat, Peter is retiring for the second time, this time permanently.



Most of us will be sorry to see him go. Definitley the end of an era for real ale in Hartlepool, with nothing in the pipeline to follow it, until somebody notices the gap in the market.



The last opening day is Saturday 21st March.



Some of us are meeting up on Wednesday 18th March from 12.02 onwards to toast his and Katie's good health, as they set off to a small town about 4 hours, by car, south of Paris. 



Please feel free to join us.
