First visit since the good folk at the Petersgate Tap have taken the place on. They have done a great job revitalising the interior and getting the ale choice improved. Ended-up playing a joker in here as I was in early to meet a Twitter based cooking lager acquaintance. NBSS scores on the doors - Boddy 3.5, Bass 3, Blackjack Squalor 3.5, Holts Sixex 4. Rated 8.5

A quick revisit found things as usual. I ended-up with a Poynton Viaduct which was passable (I paid the price for not sticking to class breweries like Oakham I suppose). Maybe I was unlucky, but so far my beer has been 50/50 over four attempts. The atmosphere and interior are first rate, mind you. Rated 8

Iconic freehouse located pretty spectacularly in the shadow of the vast rail viaduct that spans the Mersey and bisects this part of Stockport. Inside is a traditional multi-roomed old schooler with many original features - snugs, leather bench seats, bell-pushes, dividers and the like leading off the main bar. A quiet pub, so just the hubbub of conversation on my visit. One of the biggest simultaneous cask ranges in the UK, with (so I’m told – I didn’t bother to count) up to 16 ales available at any one time. Tried three of the beers, two from Stockport and one from Salopian. Quality was good, though one I think was at the fag-end of the barrel and in retrospect I should have taken it back. It’s a fine pub and absolutely worth a special trip to sample. Rated 9

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Crown Inn
Landmark pub, despite being somewhat dominated by the massive railway viaduct and looking rather isolated as many formerly neighbouring buildings must have been cleared away at some stage. Plenty of interesting decorative features both inside and out, with both aspects benefitting from a recent refurbishment following a change of ownership. Traditional furniture in the main bar, back room (with fireplace) and two side rooms. Four handpumps on both the front and right-hand side counters, with an interesting selection of cask ales in various styles. These ranged from the reinvigorated Boddingtons (reflecting the original ownership) and Bass to the Blackjack Brew Squalor (£4.80) and others from Blackedge, Torrside, Joseph Holt, Allsopp's and Colbier. A very welcome return to form.

An unexpected visit to this old favourite, the result of my train being cancelled and the next one being an hour later. Great to see the pub open, and even better to find it looking smart and clean, with an impressive line-up of eight beers, with others due to come on soon. The pub has been closed for a few weeks following the departure of the previous manager; the new one has worked here before, so knows the pub well. Beers included three from Lancaster (Blonde, Amber and Black, with Red just gone off - at least two of these will be on regularly) plus a couple of milds, a house bitter, London Pride and Proper Job. Let's hope I have a few more cancelled trains soon.
