The Friendship, Glossop

A traditional street corner Robinsons local, with wood panelling and a collection of sporting prints and trophies, including cartoons of Ian Botham and Denis Lillee. A plaque on one wall records a refurbishment in 1954, but it looks like more recent work than that must have been done. To the right on entering, a wall and door have been removed leaving only the glass panel above head height to denote what must once have been a separate room. On the bar for our recent visit were three Robinsons beers: Dizzy Blonde, Hatters Mild and Unicorn Bitter. I wish Robinsons beers were more distinguished, because their pubs on the whole are good, traditional ale houses which deserve better beer.

The Friendship is a nice looking stone built corner pub that is in the back streets just off the town centre. Once inside i went in a smartish room that was quite comfortable,this pub is a Robinsons tied house and there were two real ales on here i had a drink of Robinsons bitter and this was a very nice drink the other beer was Hatters mild. This was a proper old pub and the sort of pub i like going in. Pub visited 30/3/2002
