The Prince Alfred, Upper Hale

Went to the beer festival here earlier in the year. Some great beers, well served, friendly staff.

The Ball and Wicket, Heath End

I have been to the ball and wicket a number of times and always found it very friendly and the staff great. I particularly like the beer. As a member of Camra it's nice to meet a landlord that brews his own. Whilst the beers are very occasionally cloudy, they always taste great. Mike hawthorn being a particular favourite. The addition of extra hops recently has made it even more drinkable. Though it has to be respected as it's 5.3%, been caught out a couple of times ;-))
