Now this is an excellent pub for anyone wanting a nice drink and a chat.

It is situated just off the Worsley junction off the M60 motorway. The car park is fairly large and can fit most vehicles.

When i first went inside the pub i thought it was a perfect pub, just to sit and have a quiet drink, business conference etc...

I made my way to the bar and to my enjoyment they served a selection of guest ales!! As well as the other usual pub drinks and a selection of bar snacks.

For anybody who likes guest ales, they have about 3 on at one time and change them every month.

I bought my drinks for myself and my girl friend, reasonably priced too!! and followed her to where we were to sit.

Now this confused me. There was many little snuggs, rooms and cut throughs to get to different areas to sit and have a drink.

We sat in a litle area somewhere. The chairs were really comfy and the area was nice and clean. The staff took care of the place and kept on top of the cleaning and upkeep. There was also a group of business men next to us having a meeting. Luckilly i was wearing shirt, jeans and nicely polished shoes (quite smart but casual) otherwise i felt i wouldnt really fit in with the clientele.

I didnt have to wait too long to get served again as it was only a weekday night and easy to get served. On a weekend it is packed full of people.

It is a very smart pub and dress code must be adhered to. I heard a rumour that Ryan Giggs, (Manchester United), was thrown out for not taking off his baseball cap. To be honest its not really the place to wear one either!!! I was also told that on weekend nights it is also no under 21 year olds. I never noticed this rule. I am 23 years old and look it too so i have never been bothered by anybody.

It was a wonderful atmoshphere inside and everyone is really friendly.

So all in all... This is an ideal place to visit on a weekday for a chat, have a drink and maybe a meal. It is really a nice pub and well set out too. You just have to get used to the layout.

LOl, a typical northerner.......you like your pubs! This is one pub I never ventured into, I always stuck with the Barton Arms or the Bridgewater if I headed into Worsley. Steve :o)
