May 2025. Manchester. Well, there’s a pub you’ll know and probably love, but it’s not the star of our Moderate Night Out with Blackpool Jane last week. That comes next. Jane does something called “work”, and we picked the Pev to meet to plan our pubs as it’s, remarkably, a place Mrs RM didn’t remember… Continue reading ALL THE PUBS IN THE MANCHESTER BEER BOOK – THE PEVERIL OF THE PEAK

ALL THE PUBS IN THE MANCHESTER BEER BOOK – THE KOFFEE POT
May 2025. Manchester. Pre-football tea with Matt, and a tick in another Matt’s beer book. The Koffee Pot is a good example of the variety of bars in Mr Curtis’s exemplary guide, a quirky greasy spoon that’s added beer and burritos since moving from Stevenson Square round the corner to Oldham Street. Not the most… Continue reading ALL THE PUBS IN THE MANCHESTER BEER BOOK – THE KOFFEE POT
ALL THE PUBS IN THE MANCHESTER BEER BOOK. THE ARDEN ARMS, STOCKPORT
February 2025. Four Go Mad In Stockport Part VIII (or is it IX ?). Foodie Friday in Stockport market place draws folk out from Manchester’s southern suburbs in huge numbers. Mainly young folk, it has to be said. “But the youngsters don’t go to pubs and talk to each other out anymore” screams the burning… Continue reading ALL THE PUBS IN THE MANCHESTER BEER BOOK. THE ARDEN ARMS, STOCKPORT
CHECKING-IN AT THE PETERSGATE TAP
February 2025. Stockport. Actually, a very long last day of February, a day that had started out all cultural before going all wobbly as Jane, Karen and Mrs RM decided that stopping at every pub in Stockport was the best idea, rather than following a curated cask exploration. Fair to say this would NOT have… Continue reading CHECKING-IN AT THE PETERSGATE TAP
THE VIEW FROM MY TRAVELODGE WINDOW
February 2025. Stockport. A cultural day in the Pride of Cheshire deserves a cultural hotel. £44.99 your Friday night Travelodge. Look at these views. That’s your actual brewery tap beer garden visible from your unopenable window. I knew Jane would need to visit Runaway, and equally I knew the trestle table with pizza oven formula… Continue reading THE VIEW FROM MY TRAVELODGE WINDOW
ALL THE PUBS IN THE MANCHESTER BEER BOOK. THE SWAN WITH TWO NECKS, STOCKPORT
February 2025. Stockport. Cheshire. A day of culture with Blackpool Jane, Aberdeen Karen and itinerant Mrs RM, a day when the sun shone on the righteous (Me !), and Stockport’s visitor attractions looked the real deal. Unlike some recent flagship openings like the V & A in Dundee, the HatWorks, town museum and adjacent Staircase… Continue reading ALL THE PUBS IN THE MANCHESTER BEER BOOK.

ALL THE PUBS IN THE MANCHESTER BEER BOOK – BAR FRINGE
February 2025. Manchester. Back at Piccadilly, with 3 hours till the game against the Scouse Buswreckers XI, Matt surprised me; “What next, Bar Fringe ?”. You know you’ve brought your children up correctly when they can make an unprompted pub suggestion, rather than say “You decide“. Bar Fringe is one of his and Emma’s favourites,… Continue reading ALL THE PUBS IN THE MANCHESTER BEER BOOK – BAR FRINGE
ALL THE PUBS IN THE MANCHESTER BEER BOOK. FLOK.
February 2025. Manchester. Life slowly returns to normality, with three weekends in a row in Manchester, with ticks in the GBG and the CAMRA Manc Book, the latter packed with hipster bars in the Northern Quarter, a phrase that was outdated years ago. Stevenson Square, barely two minute walk from Matthew’s Piccadilly flat, is the… Continue reading ALL THE PUBS IN THE MANCHESTER BEER BOOK. FLOK.
ALL THE PUBS IN THE MANCHESTER BEER BOOK – THE PORT STREET BEER HOUSE
August 2024. Manchester. My creaky back, which I don’t like to talk about*, prevented the exciting walk round Didsbury I’d planned with Matt on Tuesday, so I settled on a guided tour of lesser known Ancoats. I don’t like to talk about the fact Matt knows places in the Eternal City that I don’t, though… Continue reading ALL THE PUBS IN THE MANCHESTER BEER BOOK – THE PORT STREET BEER HOUSE
ALL THE PUBS IN THE MANCHESTER BEER BOOK No. 5 – THE MOLLY HOUSE
February 2024. Manchester. A Monday lunchtime pub session with Paul Mudge is never a quiet affair. 11:20 The Millstone 11:45 The Hare & Hounds 12:35 Mr. Thomas’s Chop House 13:15 Briton’s Protection 13:50 Paul was off to check-in at his Youth Hostel; I was heading home.. “Unless you fancy a nightcap, Paul ?“. Well, you… Continue reading ALL THE PUBS IN THE MANCHESTER BEER BOOK No. 5 – THE MOLLY HOUSE
