The Carrion Crow, Greenacres, Oldham

The Carrion Crow is a single room pub with a couple of supporting columns that break up the interior a little. The bar counter runs from the front of the left wall to midway where there’s a small lounge like seating area at the rear. A stocked bookshelf adds that homely feel. In the right hand side are a pool table and two dartboards and little pockets of seating are found throughout this busy pub. The aforementioned columns have beer shelves and stools around them to maximise seating space. There are televisions for watching live sport, Europa League was on during my recent Thursday visit. The bar supports standard keg alongside San Miguel and I counted six handpumps. Three were unused which left Ringwood’s Boondoggle, Bank’s Sunbeam and Pedigree as the cask options. Numerous old pump clips up on the ceiling beams suggest a changing cask range. I liked it in here and thought it was the best pub that I visited this side of town.
