The Stocks Inn, Stalybridge

A reasonable enough locals local. There's a pool table and a quiz machine to the front right and a lounge area to the rear. Most of the punters were gathered around or near the bar. WhatPub claims that there's real ale here, but there aren't any handpumps! I got a friendly greeting from the barmaid and had a half of Fosters which was £1.45. At least this was drinkable, unlike my half at the nearby Organ. Put £1 in the quiz machine and got £4 back, so I left with £1.55 more than I went in with. I'll leave it to the locals in future though.
