Church Inn, Swinton, Salford

Lively Manchester Pub, which I think needs to be a category on its own. If its not sport, its Karaoke. Certainly a lively atmosphere. Didn't notice any cask beer - so went safe with Keg Stella. Looks a good pub if you need entertainment, rather than somewhere quiet to read the paper :-)

The Church Inn has a U-shaped bar on the back wall that faces an open plan seating area that is broken up by a couple of supporting pillars. To the left of the bar is a screened off snug. Televisions for showing multiple football matches are located throughout and there was a decent crowd in on the recent Thursday I visited. The bar supports a standard keg range alongside Birra Moretti and Amstel. I found the service to be friendly and I’d have no problem returning to watch a match in here.

The Bulls Head was a decent looking white painted pub that was situated on the corner of a very busy road junction when i went in it. Once inside i had a drink in a smartish lounge which was carpeted and had decent comfy seating,the pub used to be a Tetley tied house and there was one real ale on the bar,this was Tetley bitter which was a nice drink. I was happy enough having a drink in this pub. Pub visited 7/7/1995
