Blazing Rag, Buxton

The Blazing Rag has a central U-shaped serving counter that supports standard keg alongside two hand pumps, one of which was in use drawing Wainwright. Cash is preferred, in fact there’s a 10p surcharge per drink if paying by card. To the left of the counter is some seating as well as a pool table and dartboard. There is more seating to the right where another dartboard resides along with some televisions that were airing muted cricket via Sky Sports while some background music played. The governor seemed friendly once he’d ascertained that I wasn’t a nutter and the ten locals who were chatting around the counter during my late midweek afternoon visit seemed harmless enough. This is a decent enough local, but it’s not a destination pub.

Fairly standard pub with a few friendly local's gathered around the bar. My pint of Wainwrights was in good shape. Lots of pool trophies dotted around so I guess they have a good team!

A nice enough pub on the outskirts of the town centre. An open plan place in a sort of U-shape. Just the 2 handpumps on the bar with Doom Bore and Theakstons Bitter on. Friendly people but possibly not worth the walk out.

Just down the hill from the Robin Hood this pub was a lot more busy there was a large tv screen with sky sports on,there was only one real ale on the bar this was Black Sheep bitter not a bad drink but nothing special.
