| For me this has a bit of an edge of the Water Witch down the tow path. Large selection of beers all of which seemed to be being enjoyed by a friendly crowd of locals and other visiting beer guide devotees. Food looked fair. Prices not cheap but give me quality like this anyday although CAMRA members do get 10p per pint off so drink loads and get a free pint!! brianthelion - 22 Apr 2012 23:48 |

| This is a large canalside pub on two different levels with an outside seating for dry days (we were not lucky enough to have a dry day though). There's a range of seating available for high bars stools to low sofas. There were several ales on offer and those sampled by our group were all in good condition. It served food that looked reasonable as it came past but none of us ordered anything. Rod_Hariga - 14 Feb 2011 21:56 |
| Large converted warehouse by the canal just outside the city centre. As noted, it's difficult to put into one category. It definitely falls into the 'barn' style of pub architecture, with one very large area spread out over two levels, but it doesn't particularly feel chainy. The lack of architectural interest is made up for by the excellent beer range- the pub won CAMRA Pub of the Year this time. 10 handpumps dispense national and local brews- I had two pints of the excellent Salopian Hop Twister. Also featuring were Copper Dragon, Bowland and Thwaites. A food operation is run, and it falls into the category of good pub grub rather that anything particularly special- but it was very good and reasonably priced, all under £10. There's also a pool table and newspapers to read should you feel so inclined. All in all this is definitely worth a visit for it's very strong selection of beers, although aficianados of traditional pub architecture would find more to interest them in the city centre. Close to the Borough and Water Witch so can be included on a crawl. Carlurmston - 28 Aug 2010 10:16 |
| A bit of an odd pub, difficult to classify, great location and a very good beer range, the real ales were in good condition. Quite a big, airy pub, perhaps lacking in atmosphere, quite a high student count. Dare I say it, it was like a good chav-free JD Wetherspoons. The location and beer are 2 very good reasons to make this a must visit pub. Abteilung - 25 Apr 2010 16:27 |
