Greene King's Marmalade on Toast at The Pumphouse Inn, Liverpool

Sitting on the dock of the bay is The Pumphouse Inn on Liverpool’s Historic Albert Docks. From a distance, its shape resembles an old church; but this nineteenth-century building was actually the first steam hydraulic system that served the dockyard. Today it’s a placed pub owned by Greene King for the tourist trade; serving pub food rather than a selection of drinks. It offers views of the dockyard in its historic setting. And it plainly works as a man came in to complain about the outside table service; evidently he doesn’t use pubs often. But novel for Greene King was Marmalade on Toast golden bitter with a twist of orange. The bar staff seemed very rushed to serve us on a normal Friday afternoon; and didn’t seem prepared at all for the extra visitors due into the city that weekend. Once the harassed bar staff had finally found our Cask Marque certificate; we managed to find a corner table upstairs to plan our next stop.
