The Navigation Inn, Buxworth

The Navvie is always hit and miss for food and staff can be either amazingly pleasant or couldn't give a damn. One thing remains constant, good beer. Go there to drink, not to eat. There was a big screen in the main lounge last time I was there but hopefully won't be on all the time.

The Waltzing Weasel Inn, Birch Vale

Popped in on a late Sunday afternoon after a walk. Disappointed as only 2 cask ales on, Worthington's and a Black Sheep porter. Music was loud boy band dirge and on a very short repeat. Food is good but a tad overpriced. The pub has a very restauranty atmosphere and is more like a hotel bar than country pub. Staff very welcoming. There are better real ale pubs with cheaper pub grub in the area but if you like a posher restaurant atmosphere, this is for you.
