The Whitesmiths Arms, Wigan

Now called Casa Carlos. Though it says Spanish Restaurant on the front it very much welcomes just drinkers. Apart from the restaurant bit it does have 2 areas to just drink inside. As you would expect it serves some Spanish beers but it also has a handpump devoted to Copper Dragon beers. These beers are on rotation and today's choice was Golden Pippin. Inside is obviously Spanish themed. A large paved beer garden is outside and you can, if you close your eyes, think about your holidays in Benidorm, Playa de las Americas or possibly Southport. Its quite a nice place and as it was a very sunny and warm day the beer garden was very pleasant.
