The Commercial, Ashton-Under-Lyne

This seemed to be very much a locals pub with TV screens everywhere, darts and pool. There was no obvious sign of any Ale Trailers. There is a three sided servery in an open plan room with five hand pumps. These had just two beers from Millstone, the Stout and Tiger Rut. I went for the Stout (£2.80) which was excellent. The plethora of TV screens are off putting for me but the quality of the Millstone Stout means I would return here.

The Commercial is a three storey terraced pub that is very close to Mossley train station. This was my first port of call on my Mossley pub crawl. The pub had the dreaded Centric signs outside which usually meant no real ales inside,but to my surprise there was a real ale on. Once inside there was a decent sized room that was comfortable enough,it was carpeted and had comfy bench seating and normal tables and chairs,i did'nt see any other rooms but i did'nt really look. The one real ale on the bar was Bass Toby Light,this was a decent enough drink to start my crawl on. Pub visited 29/6/1996
