Absolutely shit service on my most recent visit - Saturday evening early March.
Everything was just so slow. The barmaid took my order then proceeded to disappear putting glasses away. Beers were half poured then all the staff got together and took a shot, then she disappeared again to change the barrel but without any kind of warning; I only realised what was happening when someone else started pulling the beer through. No pleasantries whatsoever.
Three of four ales on. My Titanic Plum Porter was excellent, the rest of the experience not so much. Very disappointing and would deter me from returning. The Pev is one of those "Manchester institutions" but if they carry on like this it's not going to be good for business.

Big backlog of transcribing email notes of visits but found this venue such a moving experience that I wanted to record directly on the site rather than copying and pasting at some later time. This is is a majestic venue, typing this as I sit in the curved room with the bar counter in front of me on the patterned fabric banquette that follows the shape of the bar counter on the opposite wall. It has that old school satisfying Lino on the floor with sumptuous woodwork on the bar, the mosaic glass above the bar and the door and surround you open to enter the lovely space. It felt like I was listening into proper meaty pub conversations whilst sat here rather than the superfluous nonsense you hear in the majority of pubs these days. Even the small covered table football table in here seemed like a previous relic and the gents toilets smelled like gents toilets should smell in all the best pubs. It felt very satisfying having to open doors to get from one part to another and I had a brief sojourn into the back room with the pool table, wall mounted jukebox and dartboard and the front lounge with the fire grate, carpet and pleasant seating in what felt like my nan’s front room of my growing up years
Cask offerings were fourfold, the Titanic Plum Porter, TT LL, Millstone Tiger Rut which I established a couple of venues before this was a local brewery and the Mancunian Hoppy Blonde from Brightside. Keg offerings were mere footnotes here, but to record were Moretti, Strongbow, Guinness, Heineken, Inch's, K1664 and Neck Oil.
If god did pub’s to a grand design, he, she or they wouldn’t come up with somewhere as magnificent than this. How do I go an check into my chain hotel around the corner and meet my colleagues over a beer on the bar there after this. Truly magnificent.

Famous for the tiled exterior and the mostly unspoiled interior a very fine pub just up the road from the equally excellent Briton’s Protection. As likely to be named after the book written by Sir Walter Scott, set in the time of Charles II and unusually for Scott in England, as after the stagecoach which could also be named after the book, both predate the pub by a few years. It’s a small place with a three room layout with details from various periods as redecoration will do. Definitely a must visit pub.
