The Hinds Head, Stockport

The hinds head has changed hands 2 or 3 times over the past 5 years.In that time it has transformed to a quiet,failing pub to one that is now popular and busy. The new landlord has done wonders for the establishment serving good food and also a good selection of real ales. Indeed,last time i was in there, there was a chap from CAMRA making a presentation to the landlord in appreciation of all his good works.

The Elizabethan, Heaton Moor

I have been aware of the Elizabethan for a long time but never actually been in it. I had heard that it had been a bit run down for some time though. I finally visited last week on a Friday evening with some friends for some food and drinks. The pub has had a major refit and had big money spent on it. The internal decor and fitments are now in the style of typical wetherspoons. The pub is a JW Lees pub and has an extensive menu.

It all looked very promising indeed however having eaten and taken into account the comments from my friends,i would say that the menu looks promising but the food was very average and the final bill represented poor value for money.

Rather disappointing given the refit and i would suggest that the landlord does some major work on putting this right as this pub could really fly if it has high quality food and also a good selection of Real Ales.
