I made a trip over the border into Wales the other night. The Manic Street Preachers were playing in Llandudno so I took the opportunity to take in a few pints in the Cottage Loaf. This friendly pub is tucked away down a side street (Market Street, LL30 2SR) and has the dubious pleasure of standing next to a Wetherspoon outlet. It a part of a small chain of eight pubs in Wirral and North Wales owned by Stange & Co.
A stone floor, low ceiling and a large fireplace form an inviting welcome for the drinker and diner. To the side of the bar there is a higher level area with a more modern appearance. To the rear is a large outside drinking area which one presumes is very popular with tourists on warm summer days.
This is a friendly, well run pub with a good cross section of customers with cask beer of reliable quality.
and the Manics?
ReplyDeleteThe Manics were top class. A track off each album they've issued, with all the hits and a few from the excellent new CD. They are a real anthems band so live appearances are a great occassion.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THE LOAF!!!
