The Marble Arch is still one of Manchester's best options for cask ale and real cider. It's a shame that it's a little bit out on a limb, being out of the city centre. Looking at my notes, I don't believe I've been here since 2011!
The tiled front room with its famously sloping floor down to the bar at the far end is just as I remember it but I don't think I'd ever been in the separate room at the rear, where there are fridges for takeaway cans and bottles and where there is also an open kitchen. A door from this room leads to an unexplored outdoor drinking area. We ended up in this room with no tables available in the bar.
At the bar, cask ales are all from Marble. Pint & Manchester Bitter are their regular beers. Guests were Velocette, Christollen, Stout & Canto. The Christollen was nice but a little moorish. I'd also forgotten that they stock a few regularly changing ciders. Nightingale Tenterden, Ross-on-Wye Velvet Rainbow & Ascension Wrath were all on. My Velvet Rainbow was a typically dry cider from that producer. Keg beers included Marble Arch Marble Earl Grey IPA & Up All Night, Super 8 Cherry & Wander Beyond/Marble Hoot & Hoot Hoot.
Really good pub which I hopefully won't leave so long to re-visit from now on.

Visited back in August - 6 hand pulls for their own cask ales + 2 (I think) for cider.
Unchanged since previous reviews, always busy though we did manage to grab a table on this occasion.

Not open Tuesdays.... just to mix it up a bit. It is open every other day of the week.
Guess which day Unlucky Alf was in town?
