The Waterside Inn, Leigh

Recently reopened following its closure in 2020. As far as I'm aware, this is no longer affiliated with Greene King. First visit so no idea what it was like before, but it has been nicely done out inside. I get the impression their focus is food, but it was certainly popular with drinkers enjoying the sunny canal side terrace on Sunday afternoon. The sign outside boasts cask ales and indeed there are three hand pulls atop the bar, but all unclipped at the time of my visit. Presumably there are plans to bring these into service. On the day of my visit they did warn us that they would be closing early - 5pm - which was fine by me calling in for a drink but would have been a bit disappointing for someone planning to have an evening meal. Still, they haven't been open long so there are bound to be some initial teething issues. In the absence of any cask ale, I went for the Camden Stout on keg. I noticed Camden Pale Ale was also available, as well as a selection of lagers etc. Hopefully on a future visit I will find the hand pulls in operation; it's a nice location and some decent ales will bump my rating up!
