The food used to be great but it's now average to less and Jeez we've had to stop going there! They are just up the road from an Osset brew house and the beer was like vinegar.
Not going back, if they can't look after an Osset they ain't looking after me.

The Station Hotel, Ashton Under Lyne
When bought and renovated from a wreck in the days when Boddingtons made beer this was a great pub. However, it has since had a succession of poorly skilled and lack lustre keepers... It's now a place to avoid, the customer is tolerated, they sell crap beer, don't wash the glasses. One wonders if they wash their hands prior to making the horrid sandwiches which are offered as a loss leader to help sell the ill kept beer.
Visit at your peril.
Makes one wonder how the "Publican" gave them "customer service pub of the Year"
I used to call the place my second home and I'm telling the truth.

Not worth talking about, if you want a reference ask John Smith.

Closed by the Police God bless em... The place was full of arseholes looking to bottle someone, or, perhaps as an aside lets have line dancing type wounding in the street outside.
Wonder where the arseholes are boozing near You!

The Elmer Hotel, Middleton on Sea
Working in the area, stayed here twice. Rooms are spotless, Food in the restaurant is good. Pub is a busy community type, locals are friendly, staff are great.
Beer choice Limited and the usual South of England stuff it's served flat and lifeless, but very well kept.
I wouldn't use it on a crawl but as a work stopover would definitely recommend it... One last note though for work there's no internet!

The Riverhead Brewery Tap, Marsden
Never used to like the atmosphere when it was Riverhead and for me the beers were watery. Since Ossett bought it, moved the bar the place is airy and more spacious.
Most importantly they sell Ossett and it's spot on.
One of the greatest beers in England... go and get it, feed the ducks and get a wobble on.
