| This could be an excellent pub, but at present it's scruffy and unkempt and badly needs a refurbishment. However if you don't mind this, it's a friendly and welcoming place with decent (though not special) beer and food. nedsram - 31 Jul 2011 23:16 |
| I have only been out of season after walking in the nearby hills and so have not experienced the chaos decribed below. I found the ale and food good. wirraldrinker - 1 Dec 2010 11:16 |
| Arrived in Bickerton Poacher at 2.00 after a hefty walk along the Sandstone trail from Whitchurch. The Poacher is a multiple roomed family affair let down by the distracting Grand Prix on the TV and too many children. Fairly expensive at �3.40 a price of Strongbow. Real Ale available was Old Peculiar, Speckled Hen, Caledonian Nectar and Spitfire. I had the Old Peculiar which was perfectly nice but C4Lf�s resident head brewer felt his pint was too yeasty. Ordered food which comes in monstrous portions especially the legendary �Big Man�s mixed grill�. The bar staff were delightfully surly. There�s an old fashioned skittles alley if you want some extra entertainment. D�cor 7.2 Barstaff 6.2 Atmos 6.2 Booze 6.4 Environment 6.2 Clientele 5.2 Overall 6.2 C4Lf - 30 Nov 2010 21:59 |
| Not bad - ideally placed for those on Sandstone Trail and camping or B&B. As a pub for drinking it's a non-starter - impossible to relax! Inside the staff are charging around serving 'eaters' and the turnover is high so also customers buzzing about. Outside is play area with screaming kids - if your looking for a quiet beer - forget it. Real Ales - had 4 on but all from larger brewery's and non from local such as Weetwood or Dunham Massey, etc. kernott1 - 6 Apr 2010 13:39 |
