Stalybridge Buffet - Tameside

The buffet bar is definitely the top bar in the area. The atmosphere is excellent, there are no issues, and they have a great quiz night on Sundays. Hayley and Lindsey are fantastic employees who manage the pub excellently, and the variety of drinks available is impressive.

This place is located on the side of the railway and is great for a pint. It gets busy with the ale trail tourists on a Saturday so advisable to go during the week or on a Friday.

Loved the choice of beers, always something new that you’ve never tasted before. The staff were excellent, lyndsey and Alix were very knowledgeable about the beers on, and even offered tasters.

Shocking service. Not up to the usual standard on the buffet bar. we arrive with one young woman serving at the bar and one person waiting. We waited our turn and were completely ignored and she served someone else first. At this point we were irritated but we waited until she served these gents. At that point a man came from the kitchen and asked who 's next. Started to serve another customer before corrected by the woman server and came to us. We at this point started it was actually our go before these guys only for the woman to lie and said 'i asked who was next ' which she never did. I thought we should try and support here since the railways shut but after this service and I 'm not sure we will be returning again. It has left a real sour taste in are mouth.

Traditional boozer. Warm welcome, plenty of real ales to choose from. Interesting decor, dogs welcome. The pub is right on the platform so grab your anorak and enjoy the trains. Definitely the kind of pub we should be supporting. Immortalized in song by Fivepenny Piece
