Puss in Boots, Stockport

Will Larter left this review about Puss in Boots

A former estate pub - as described by Alan Winfield after his visit long before this site even existed - but now a modernised and desirable dining pub. I must admit my heart sank a little, not just while taking photos but also when walking through the outdoor seating areas and into the pub. I could go on, but in fact once I had got my beer and taken a seat and a sip, I was in a better place already. The beers are all from Robinsons, with the bowdlerised Tom & Berry seasonal which I swerved, and the usual Dizzy Blonde and Unicorn, but my half of the latter was very good (NBSS 3.5). My notes made at the time comment, "as it should be @ £4.70/pint". I did also put a reminder in my notes to deduct a mark for the poster that reads, "No pooch's past this point", my objection being not to the barring of dogs from the restaurant area, nor even the use of "pooch" when dog is intended, but to the ridiculous grocer's apostrophe instead of the correct plural pooches. (Anyone reading this who thinks "pooch's" is ok as a plural can add a mark back in and give this pub a rating of 6.)
