One of New Brighton’s oldest
pubs; this was truly a community venue with small rooms around each side
allowing people to come in and chat; mainly because it was a fair distance away
from the banks of the Mersey. After entering to use the facilities first, I had
to tour the whole pub to find the rest of my group; much to the amusement of
the locals; who also pointed out the blackboard displaying the list of ales on
offer. After scanning the Cask Marque certificate, I took my place in our
timber-framed room and soaked in the atmosphere of this characteristic pub. The
beer was another local brew from George Wright; and even though it was a
seasonal beer it still made a refreshing change from the portfolio beers that
you’d expect to see on show at this kind of venue. The Telegraph has also earnt
the honour of being New Brighton’s highest pub; though when you’re so close to
the Mersey it doesn’t bear much of an achievement compared to that of Snowdon
or the Lake District!
