The Buffet Bar, Stalybridge

As a regular there I get to see quite a lot of how the Buffet Bar runs,it has it's bad days and good days. Unfortunately the bad days seem to be increasing. Take last Sunday afternoon, went for pint or two and chat with friends only to be confronted by a large group of football fans chanting at the bar. The two young lads on the bar were powerless to do anything about it. Needless to say this drove some of the locals out. The so called Land Lord is never seen there,operating the pub by remote from Dewsbury. His latest gimmick is to scrap the 10% Camra discount replacing it with a 20p discount on a round not just a pint (not making enough from the Ale Trail).Not sure how he managed to procure the pub,as it was never advertised, although many parties were interested no info could be found. Do the locals a favour and give back to the rail company so someone can run it who can do it justice.
