14:30 A late family lunch with my Granddaughter. Just a few diners, but the other areas of the pub were fairly busy with drinkers. This pub was in the final four for last year's CAMRA POTY. Shame it didn't win as it would have been a worthy winner in my opinion.

Peerless - Paxtons Peculiar4.10ExcellentVery flavoursome
Slater's - Smoked Porter4.80ExcellentBeechwood smoked malt. Not quite as anthracite as a Bamberg but going in that direction.
Weetwood - Cheshire Cat4.00GoodVery much a Northern beer with its distinctive malt taste.

13:00 Lunch with the family. Good food, good beer, and friendly staff. CAMRA discount as well. Hard to believe its a Greene King pub. Local CAMRA POTY 2014 and Greene King pub of the year 2014. Even they realise a pub needs a good choice of beer.
