The Shed & Garden, Chorley

Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Shed & Garden

Probably the worst of the new pubs we tried in Chorley on a hot July Saturday. This is a lounge bar split into two sections. The left-hand side contains the bar to the rear but has limited seating. The right-hand side was being set up for a function. There is a drinking shelf separating the two. Some of our party were told off for sitting on the function room side of the shelf by the sullen bar staff.

The room features exposed ducting and some foliage to make it feel less industrial. Outdoor pavement seating behind some market stalls were marginally more appealing. Amongst events being promoted were a quiz, live music and music bingo.

There were initially 3 cask ales on the bar - Black Edge Dark Mild, Kirkstall Pale Ale & Wigan Brewhouse Indeed I Do. I opted for the latter, which was in very poor condition. I had to return it and the beer was taken off sale. Bar staff begrudgingly offered me a replacement and I went for a Lilley's cider. Their selection was Apples & Pears, Rhubarb Cider, Peach Cider, Strawberry Cider, Elderflower Cider, Mango Cider, Winter Fruits, Raspberry & Lemon Cider, Cherries & Berries, Gladiator, Tropical Cider, Somerset Scrumpy, Darksider & Pineapple Cider. Vocation Heart & Soul was on keg.

Disappointing beer and service.
