Decent locals pub. Enjoyed a pint of Butcombe Gold in very good condition. Other ales on my visit included Doom Bar, Marston Burton Bitter and GK Abbot Ale. Friendly welcome and relaxed atmosphere. I've heard it changed hands about twelve months ago. Well worth a visit. 8/10.

I very rarely leave comments about pubs. They are, after all, all different and what might appeal to one might not appeal to another. However this pub is exceptional for all the wrong reasons. Go for a laugh, it's the faulty towers of pubs. Every thing from moving a stool to having ice in your cider is either against the law or against the owner's unique health and safety interpretation. ITS THE LAW, ITS THE LAW. Food good, pub rubbish.

Couldn't agree more with the previous comments. Such a shame because this could be a really nice pub if the landlord actually liked his customers (or at least tried to be congenial). An attempt at pouring a full pint (or at least with more beer than head) wouldn't go amiss either. Nice food at fair prices.

Reasonable beer although they insist on getting every last drop from each barrel even when you can see the beer's not up to standard. Reasonable food with good special offers. These offers change frequently so double check before ordering. Unfortunately there's one big drawback that completely spoils an otherwise good pub - the landlord is a nightmare who is totally obsessed with petty rules and regulations which he enforces with undue rigour.

A great pub serving good home cooked food and quality real ales. Is on the rail ale trail but is not open till 2pm Monday-Thursday and 1pm Friday,Saturday. Not sure about Sunday's but might be worth checking out. Landlord was very friendly as we came in and recomended some beers which were on top form.

Good for a selection of Real Ale, otherwise no need to go in. No entertainment, no music, no sitting allowed at the bar and if there's a group of you the landlord willl ask you to stand out of the way of the locals.

Decent boozer on the 'Rail Ale Trail' - had 4 ales on when we nipped in one was Hydes Ringmaster and one Holts Pioneer...these producers of Ale are so, so IMO. One of the other ales was Caledonian Mellow Yellow and the other I cannot remember, but it was non-descript compared to what we had elsewhere. I have been here before and range of beer was better.

Multi-roomed pub. Good selection of real ales including the nearby "greenfield real ale brewing co" beers. Food looked ok. Opposite the station.

Bustling, friendly place across the road from Mossley railway station. It is fairly open plan and has a pool table, however the atmosphere great and locals very friendly. 4-5 ales on offer, including porters and light beers. I went for Jennings which was on fine form. A very enjoyable experience, I recommend getting a train out there if you're in the area.

Friendly pub just a minute walk from Mossley Railway station. Six handpumps serving a well kept range of beers, often from local breweries. Generous portions of food at good prices. Small outdoor seating area that catches the Sun in the afternoons. Bizzare mix of music to cater for all tastes. A great pub!

Just started really using this pub after a move to Mossley, and it's pretty much the best alround pub in Bottom Mossley. Beer is normally excellent (range and condition), and the food is decent pub grub at very good prices. Friendly owners too.

Vibrant pub with friendly locals, one of the much nicer pubs in Bottom Mossley but can get crowded on match day. Good range of beer and an ecclectic music selection thanks to an extensive collection being streamed. Where else would you hear Jive Bunny after Frank? Excellent pub food menu, well priced for those lazy occasions when you just can't be bothered to cook at home.
