The White House, Stalybridge

The White House is one of two Hydes Brewery pubs in Stalybridge and probably the better of the two. It consists of an L shaped room with a wooden floor and on my visit a TV blaring out football plus a clientele who were all shouting at each other. The bar has a set of three hand pumps with Hydes beers and a set of four which had a cider, Black Country Chain Ale, Spitfire Gold and a Beer Studio (aka Hydes) beer. I went for the Chain Ale (£2.95) which was in good nick. This is a locals pub that was spoilt for me by the TV screens and the shouty punters.

Cosy, low ceilinged dark corner pub, various seating, lots of wood & brick features, neat & a fine pub serving 5 real ales including Hydes. The language was a bit colourful from the locals putting the world to rights.

Very large, one roomed pub with several distinct areas. An eclectic mix of furniture along with lots of dining tables & chairs. A long bar serves mainly Hydes beer, but they are also allowed a guest beer or two. They also serve a couple of real ciders. Live music features on Thursday & Friday. Friendly landlord and staff made for a pleasant 20 minutes waiting for a mate who is always late. We then stayed and had another. Both the beers I had were in very good nick. We were also given some free nuts & pretzels, which is a nice touch. It's quite rightly listed in the CAMRA GBG2014. A must visit if you're having a crawl round Stalybridge.

Nice warm friendly pub a Hydes tied house worth a look in when in the area
