The Old Sun Inn, Buxton

Nice pub with an old feel to it. Lots of small nooks and crannies. Pretty standard choices from the Marston's range with Sunbeam, 61 Deep, Wainwrights and Old Empire on when I called. My Sunbeam was off and was changed without fuss. The Wainwright was spot on. I liked it here and would happily call again.

I too didn't mind it in here though I preferred the Cheshire Cheese next door.

The previous reviewer must have been particularly unlucky to call in here on a Sunday and find no hand pulls on. There are six hand pumps on the bar and on the occasion of our visit (also on a Sunday) five of them had beers available. It was fairly quiet, but then so were the nearby Swan and the Cheshire Cheese. I like it here, with its complicated layout of little private rooms, and nooks and corners where you can settle down for a conversation or just to read the paper over a pint. The beers we had were in good condition, if a little unadventurous. We called into all three local pubs during our brief stop in Buxton and enjoyed them all.

Called in mid Sunday afternoon no hand pulls no bottle beers no customers
