Camp & Furnace, Toxteth, Liverpool

There is no cask ale available here. You can buy some bottled stuff but it ain't on draught. Not worth the walk out to this place to be honest.

An unpromising frontage in a rundown industrial area but one that's being slowly renovated and gentrified, it even has a name "The Baltic Triangle". Once inside it opens out into a rather different experience. The Greenland St entrance is modern with automatic sliding doors. This leads to the first of several factory/ commercial garage like areas. This one has plywood counter down one side with a collection of keg fonts, on the back are two pulls with reasonable Liverpool Craft brewery beers. Furnishing is basic with plastic chairs and plywood tables. There are a lot of logs as decor cum room dividers. To one side is a separate huge sitting room with a couple of bars a food counter and three parked caravans, there is also a big corrugated steel shed and a very, very big projection screen. Beyond the first room is a much larger space filled with trestle tables and benches, on this Sunday occasion it was full of families eating roast dinners. At one end is a large chimney and a big sound system. There are two more counters in here although only the larger one was in use, two more caravans were parked to the side. It also is equipped with a two ton travelling crane. The toilets are in this side. Between two of the rooms is a small triangular outdoor area.
