| not bad bar staff need to be a bit nicer but over all not bad hardman - 8 Jan 2012 22:32 |
| I've always liked The Witchwood because its a place where all types of people can mix without feeling out of place. The place went a bit downhill at the beginning of last year but now the old owners have gone its like a phoenix rising from the ashes. It has over 4 Real ales on and is one of three places in Ashton where you can get at least 2 reals the others being Wetherspoons and The old engine room.The staff will also be very willing to let you sample a beer if you are not too sure on what it will be like. It also has some great tribute bands on in the back room and has started to promote local bands aswell. I have heard that there will be a beer festival on at the end of August which the owner is very keen to promote. Id give this place a visit as it has changed quite a bit and the staff seem to enjoy working there. Something which wasn't evident during the last regime. Here is details of The Beer Festival http://www.thewitchwood.net/forum/index.php?topic=582.0 Caskales - 26 Feb 2011 10:58 |
| Has recently changed ownership, but still with regular bar staff. Prices have dropped and several decent guest ales are on for a reasonable £2.20 a pint. I enjoyed the Boggart Rum Porter the other day. wobblybob - 17 Aug 2010 15:52 |
| Prices have been lowered back to reasonable levels but only 4 beers available on a Sat afternoon. LittleFamilyFish - 13 Oct 2008 15:13 |
| Paid a visit this weekend to find they've raised their prices by about 60 /70 pence a pint! They had some good beers to choose from but were charging £2.80 and £2.90 for beers around the 4.5% abv mark. This would be expensive for Manchester and is certainly well over the top for Ashton. Is this greed or are they deliberately trying to run the pub down? LittleFamilyFish - 8 Sep 2008 10:37 |
