Moss Vale, Davyhulme, Manchester

Moss Vale is a huge pub with the odd John Barras marking throughout, but not sure if it is still one of their pubs. A large car park and lines of picnic tables out the front set the pub back from the passing road, food must be served to warrant such parking, but I didn’t spot any menus during my recent midweek afternoon visit. There’s a seating area in the front right, but the locals has assemble at some high tables in the front left opposite the bar counter on the left rear wall. Further left is a pool room and at the rear behind the bar is a function room. In the right rear is split-level seating and a small stage, all areas have a viewable television for watching live football. I found the landlady and the barmaids to all be friendly, but only premium keg was available which may be an issue for some. I’d use this pub if I lived locally.

This pub is OK for watching the football on a weekend. The food is OK too.
