Bhurty, Aston (Bhurtpore Inn)

Now under new management (February 2024). See new website for details.

South Cheshire CAMRA Pub Of The Year 10 times, County winner 2018 and 2019. The Bhurtpore Inn is a family-owned, traditional village pub. The owners - Simon and Nicky George - bought The Bhurtpore in 1991 and it re-opened on April 9th, 1992. Since then, the pub has won numerous CAMRA and other awards. Food is freshly-prepared, home-made and reasonably priced. Six real ales available. Large selection of bottled beers plus a selection of continental beers on tap. Named after Bharatpor, a fortress city in India, shown in colour photos in side snug, besieged in the Nineteenth century by a local gentleman, Lord Combermere [Sir Stapleton Cotton], on whose land the building stood. Some of the décor reflects this Indian theme. The Bhurtpore is about fifteen minutes walk from Wrenbury station. There is a good variety of quality bar food, from snacks to full home-made meals. The pub prides itself on sourcing as much of the freshly prepared food locally. Not surprisingly, curries are a speciality. There have been many and varied guest beers over the years, including regular mild's, stouts and porters. Numerous foreign beers both on draught and in bottles are featured, as evidenced by the menu. It has been, of course, a Good Beer Guide stalwart for 26 years. A regularly changing range of real ciders and Perry's also available. Well worth a visit.
