Peveril of the Peak, Manchester

An unusual tiled and triangular shaped pub that is clearly from a different era to the more modern and much taller buildings that surround it, it looks slightly out of place but nonetheless is appealing and intriguing and one could not resist venturing in. Inside it’s divided in to two or three rooms with the bar counter being at one end of the triangle, and this is a small, roughly L-shaped room. The curved, wood-panelled bar counter has plenty of stained glass above and there is further stained glass in the wooden partition at the end of the room. A table football game was at one end and there were a few photographs on the wall, mainly of pub patrons by the look of things. Decor wise it’s quite traditional with a red lino type material on the floor, a brown wall-papered ceiling and pale green paintwork elsewhere. Another room housed a pool table, but I did not investigate this. Beers on tap were Skipton Copper Dragon, Marstons EPA, Betty Stoggs and Golden Sheep. The solitary cider was Strongbow, unfortunately. Overall, despite the disappointing cider choice, I thought this was a great little pub with friendly staff, and well worth seeking out.

Listed in the National Inventory of Britains Heritage Pubs. The exterior ceramic tiles are stunning and the pub stands out from the surrounding buildings on approach. The interior consists of three rooms and a dogleg corridor, which also serves as a drinking lobby. There were four ales on handpump, l went for the Everards Tiger and the Copper Dragon.
