About the Pub
Micropub with environmental credentials: a good deal of recycled timber has been used for many of the fittings, but such is the quality of finish, you'd never know. It is set in what was originally Tittertons butcher's shop, latterly it became a computer shop, then lay empty for a year. Being a former shop, the size of the place is as modest as a good-sized living room. The layout is L-shaped with an L-shaped bar in the right-hand quarter. A fixed-bench seat is along one side of the pub, while six tables and accompanying chairs make up the total furniture in there (albeit there are some barstools too). Beyond the bar, and into a corridor gives access to the toilet, and exit to the smoking area out at the rear. Decor is minimal at the moment, but will be augmented by images of old Hazel Grove; there is one blackboard in use for cask ales currently on sale, customer suggestions as to forthcoming ales are written down for future consideration too. A small lending library in one corner adds a community feature to the pub. Five handpumps adorn the the front of the bar, and boldly face the window enabling the customer to see the cask offering before anything else. They will try to have a stout, a hoppy beer, and something less hoppy from a single brewer as much as choice will allow. As with many places these days, three-third flights of three different ales can be bought. Ten real ciders are available - these will rotate. A large fridge behind the bar is stocked with 500ml bottles from local breweries plus carry-outs in four-pint containers are also available. The food offering is pork pies from the aforementioned Tittertons served with a choice of chutneys or Colman's English mustard; pickled eggs are available too as are crisps and nuts. History: Micropub that opened for business on 5/12/15 by former licensees of the nearby Bird in Hand, Kevin and Tina Clarke. The whole thing had been in the planning stage since April 2015, with the design and construction down to the Clarkes and their son who did the majority of the fitting out of the bar and other woodwork you will see in there. Angie & Scott Jepson took the reins in 1/8/18.
