Micropub with environmental credentials: a good deal of recycled timber has been used for many of the fittings, but such is the quality of finish, you'd never know. It is set in what was originally Tittertons butcher's shop, latterly it became a computer shop, then lay empty for a year. Being a former shop, the size of the place is as modest as a good-sized living room. The layout is L-shaped with an L-shaped bar in the right-hand quarter. Beyond the bar, and into a corridor gives access to the toilet, and exit to the neat outside cum smoking area out at the rear. Decor is minimal with just a few choice images; there is a blackboard showing cask ales, etc currently on sale. Five handpumps adorn the the front of the bar, and boldly face the window enabling the customer to see the cask offering before anything else. A large fridge behind the bar is stocked with bottles from a variety of sources. The food offering is pickled eggs, crisps and nuts.
Historic Interest
Opened 5/12/2015 as a micropub in former retail premises by sometime licensees Kevin and Tina Clarke of the nearby Bird in Hand. The whole thing had been in the planning stage since April 2015, with the design and construction down to the Clarkes and their son who did the majority of the fitting out of the bar and other woodwork you will see in there. Angie & Scott Jepson took the reins on 1/8/2018. Planning Application DC/059268 | Change of use from a shop (Use Class A1) to a mixed use within Use Classes A1 and A4 (as a Micro Pub off and on licence). Granted 17/9/2015.
This Pub serves 5 changing beers (guest / changing beers from Greater Manchester and regional micros) and 0 regular beers.
