Derby Blonde Escape & Outrageous Drop, Blakemere Ferrier's Fettle, OPA Hay's Engel's Porter, Goffs White Knight, Bradfield Farmers Blonde, JS Magnet, Bollington Happy Valley, Milestone ‘Classic Dark Mild', Brew Co Winter Tan, Goose Eye Owa Th'ill, 1 unclipped, beers dispensed in over-size glasses. Carpetted open plan room winds around the bar, banquette surround seating, cushioned stools, wood tables, down a step to an area with piano, dartboard in far corner. Varying soundtrack (Acker Bilk, Rock&Roll, Motown), live music seems to lean toward blues – Tim Rodwell last Thurs, another band Sat. The ‘what's on' board noted Mon–Ales from £1.50, Tues–Folk Nt, Wed–Quiz, Thurs–live music (TR), Fri–free buffet, Sat–Ale in the afternoon (I asked–was told ‘just sit & drink!'). Not architecturally characterful but a great deal to like here–a pub obviously making an effort, and a marvellous beer line-up. Fairly busy & chatty on my visit. Recommended.
