| The Alton Bridge Hotel was the first of 10 or so pubs we tried in Staffordshire, back in November. Luckily Alton Towers was closed. As such, this place was fairly quiet. There were a few diners in and one other drinker at the bar. Ales were Oakham Citra, Wincle Wibbly Wallaby & Sharp's Doom Bar. There is a car park and a large garden on the opposite side of the road. blue_scrumpy - 2 Feb 2018 22:24 |
| What a waste of a fabulous location. Very strange regime operates here, run almost as a hobby - irregular opening times, you never know from one day to the next when they will be open, just have to wait for the "we are open tonight" sign to go up. They concentrate on a carvery operation, so you walk into a dining room with a (closed) hotel reception desk off to the right (they currently do not run the accomodation) and the small bar beyond that through a doorway. They do have some very good independent local beers on here most of the time, but such is the irregularity of opening, you can never be sure what condition the beer will be in. There is no local presence here as the pub is set in a tiny cluster of houses at the bottom of the steep hill up to the village proper and the local villagers concentrate on the 3/4 pubs in the village itself that have regular predictable opening times, so no matter what time you go in, the bar is always empty and soul-less. What with the fact this pub sits cheek-by-jowl with the long closed Talbot, this amounts to a criminal waste of two wonderfully located pubs. Gristy - 15 Jun 2010 11:51 |
