| A lovely little country pub. Good selection of beers for strokey-beard real ale Camra bores to prattle on about. Be aware that a lot of dog walkers can use this in the summer so you might find yourself tripping over dogs hiding under tables or being whipped up by stray dog leads. Al_Bundy - 10 Feb 2012 13:40 |
| Fairly pleasant country pub with a cosy atmosphere (real fire) inside and reasonably busy for a Tuesday afternoon. 7 ales were on - Robinsons, Unicorn, Arkells 3B, Caledonia 80/-, Old Mill Traditional Bitter, Adnams Explorer, Greene King Abbot Ale & Wells Bombardier. Worth a visit. blue_scrumpy - 1 Feb 2012 20:57 |
| I called in here this evening while taking the dog for a long walk. The pub was busy inside and out which was nice to see. Five ales were available. I had Everards 'Sunchaser', a blonde 4% summer beer which was very nice. It would seem that the Spanish fiasco of a couple of years ago is long forgotten and this is a real pub again. wirraldrinker - 2 Aug 2011 21:15 |
| Excellent pub in the heart of Wirral. Very well run by an experienced (the landlord used to work for Youngs) and enthusistic team, this is gaining an excellent reputation for imaginative real ales and freshly made, locally sourced food (note the suppliers of their meat, 'Muffs'. No sniggering at the back). A building of some note, it is in the red sandstone of the area and note particularly the tiny stained glass window set in the enormous stones. Essentially four small areas that run into each other inside, there is a 'snug' type area containing a wood-burning stove which is by the car park entrance; two 'drinking' areas either side of the split bar, which are by the roadside entrance, and then a room at the back mainly used by diners, but by no means exclusively so. There are tables outside, next to the road and in a very pleasant (unenclosed, save for a small wall) sloping garden. A few tables are also by the entrance from the car park. There are, mercifully, no slot machines. There is a TV, but it has never been on during one of my visits, and I suspect that it only does come on for a major event - something like the Open Golf no doubt, in these parts. It's the beer that merits comment here and the pub is a deserved recent CAMRA pub-of-the-season winner. There are up to 6 ales on offer and the range is broad, both in sourcing as well as strength. Highlights for me were seeing the Palmers range on over a couple of weeks the other month. This old, established Dorset independant is a rare sight in these parts. Other beers recently sourced included less well-known brews from Adnams and Everards, as well as Moorhouses and Hook Norton. It seems that generally there is a Welsh ale on too. I cannot praise this pub highly enough, and it shows just what can be done in today's difficult times for the licensed trade. Trade seems brisk every time we are in (sometimes it has been exceptionally brisk) and the punters are an excellent mix of Wirral residents rubbing along together nicely. Top marks to the team here. barlick - 10 May 2011 14:07 |
| Having been a regular visitor to the Irby Mill prior to, and since, it's latest refurbishment, I can confirm that it was well worth it. The good old country pub is back with its wooden benches, real fire, great atmosphere and friendly, knowledgeable bar staff. On my last visit, which happened to be yesterday, there were 8 real ales on tap (yes, that's 8!!) - a real ale drinkers paradise. I am reliably informed that this will be the norm from now on. They have 3 regular beers (Bombardier, Hooky and Abbot Ale) plus 5 others which are changed on a regular basis. There's a quirky chalk board next to the bar informing the customers how many beers the pub has had since the takeover in November 2009 - more than 50 already!! The new landlord, Andy, must be commended on the job he and the team have done in turning the pub into what it is now. He's even arranged for the pub to have it's own website which is well worth a visit as it has lots of information about Andy (a local lad) and the history of the pub itself. I must also comment on the food, which is excellent - the chips are worth a visit alone!! On our visit yesterday, my girlfriend and I had the sausage platter to share which was superb - 2 x 3 varieties of sausage, chips, baguette, gravy and tomato sauce - all for £9.95. If anyone hasn't been back to this pub since it's refurb, then you're missing out - get down there!! jason_bourne - 6 Apr 2010 11:53 |
