Converted station building on the Liverpool bound platfrom of Urmston station. Nicely done out in a reasonable pub style. A slight gripe on the ale front though as the four beers on handpump were all light/golden brews to attract the lager drinkers and no traditional bitters were on offer. that said both the Allgate brews I treied (Pretoria and Valiant) were quite nice. They have a smoking area out on the platform with awnings to keep the rain off whereas the open platform of the station the other side of the picket fence is a no smoking area.

Had a couple of drinks here on Saturday night after a meal at the Italian Job. Really enjoyed it - nice atmosphere, friendly staff, the Halloween decorations were great and the building is really interesting. Lots of buzz about the main bar and the smoking area outside but quieter tables to sit on through in the alcove bit.

The novelty of getting a mini bottle of wine like on a plane was good too!

Was here a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed visiting the place again. Staff have always been very friendly and the lager is well kept. Reasonably priced beer and unusual surroundings all make a visit worthwhile.

Pleasant pub offering interesting range of real ales and various Belgian bottled beers and one on draught. Outside drinking areas at front and a fenced-off area of the platform. The Dunham Honey beer was in very good condition on my visit.

What a top pub this is since the refurb! Urmston is chockful of old-men's-wee smelling dives where the nearest thing to "ale" is a Holts Mild that tastes like a dead dog's been embalmed in it, and this place is just a breath of fresh air.

They've got a changing selection of four ales on tap, have included Dunham Massey and Copper Dragon recently, and they've all been in good nick. I've only eaten there once, and it was decent pub grub with few pretensions (as in, you can get your chicken curry with rice, chips or half-and-half).

All that and pleasant to sit in, not a hint of old-man's-wee in the place. A bit sterile still in the decor, like they've ordered "The Gastropub Look" from a catalogue, but I'm sure they'll get there. A couple of random sprees on eBay is all it needs. Fun to sit out on the platform too, but don't do it if you're recovering from a hangover or the half-hourly fast train to Liverpool will pummel your brain.

I gave them a nine - if they want to earn the extra point, they could put some low lighting in the side rooms and make the front tables nice to sit out at, cos at the moment they are basically in a car park. Really hope Urmston supports this pub because it deserves to do well.
