Union Rooms, Batley

Reminds me of a brighter version of the accrington spoons. Very small by spoons standards. Ales wise it has 2 guest ales and a cider, went for Brains SA at 2 pound a pint, it was fine. Interesting characters here, a bit sad overall a spoons so a solid option, bit further away from the station than i was expecting. Oh, and the carpet is definitely one that catches the eye.

Society Rooms, Stalybridge

A spoobs which isn't vig but has been given the impression that it is, very tall ceiling to this place. Quiet when i was in. Ales included, Titanic Anchor, Oakham Green Devil, Phoenix Wobnly Bob, Phoenix Mild, and Elland 1872 porter. I went for The Anchor at 1.99, decent beer in decent condition. Quite a modern spoons so it lacks even more charm. Stalynridge as a town seems pretty poor for pubs so worth a look in.

The Ash Tree, Ashton Under Lyne

This spoons has an odd lay out, from it's main entrance you are met with a flight of stairs which leads to the bar, there's also a seating area before the stairs to the left. Theres also seating further on from the bar abd yo the tifht if the bar, the bar is a H shape. Ales were Ruddles Best, Doom Bar, Abbot, Moorhouse Pendle witches brew, Kelham Best, Elland Lanky Jack, Moorhouses Blonde Witch, Moorhouses Black Cat. Went for the Black cat at 1.99 a pint (Monday price). Decent, chilled out spoons with deceht staff abd friendly staff.
