A blueprint for micros. Pubby exterior and interior. The main bar is quite small but I believe there is another room downstairs.

What sets it apart from other micros is the choice - 10 Keg and Cask is to be expected (and my Cask Strange Times IPA) was perfect. Add to this a large cider collection, many Belgian and German bottles and a decent whisky collection and you have it in a nutshell how a micro should be run.

Mulled wine being offered outside to the street market customers.

Busy, but pleasant on a Saturday afternoon.

Excellent pub.

The owner told me that he took the time off during Covid lockdowns to completely revamp the pub which has been here for around six years. There is a seating area in front, and the interior is now very much like a traditional pub. It's been done with taste and expertise, making the best use of the limited space available. Toilets and another seating area are downstairs, together with access to a garden at the rear. The bar has six hand pumps, with three beers from Strange Times (formerly Outstanding) and three others (see photos); some shelves next to the bar had a variety of bottles and cans, but I didn't have time to check them out. My half of Strange Times Mad King Sweeney Red Ale 4.6% was less of a mouthful to drink than to say, and I'd have stayed to try another except that I had a train to catch. This pub would be a good reason for making another trip to Marple.

A micropub converted from a Victorian looking shop. I don't know what kind of shop it was, but it should have been a sweet shop. The bar is at the far end of a very narrow room with cushioned settles. 6 handpumps and loads of boxed ciders. The very small bar was being blocked by one very large bloke, but I managed to get served around him. Very good background music, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop etc. I wasn't as enamoured with this one as previous visitors, but it was OK and the beer was in good nick.
