The Greenfinch, Manchester

The Greenfinch is a converted Victorian mansion situated in West Didsbury close to a busy crossroads. It is a Marston's "Generous George" where the customers pay a penny less for there main meal and this is donated to the pubs charity chest.There is a large attractive beer garden at the front and inside a pizza kitchen and ice cream parlour. On the beer front there was 4 cask beers on offer with the Wainwrights top notch.We were served by a team of friendly and welcoming bar staff and found the beer prices reasonable and also thought the food special offers were good value.

The Four in Hand is a very large stand alone pub that is situated on the corner of a busy road junction. Once inside i went in a very large room that was divided into different areas this room was quite smart and geared up for diners,there may have been other rooms but i did'nt look. The pub is a Banks's tied house and there were two real ales on the bar i had a drink of Banks's bitter and this was a decent drink the other beer was Banks's mild. This was not really my sort of pub but as a drinker i was made just as welcome. Pub visited 27/10/2006
