While clearly very much food-oriented, their pubs remain much more "pubby" than many of their competitors. There's always somewhere you can just go to have a drink, the menus include snacks as well as full meals, the staff don't wear uniforms and the tables don't have pre-set place settings. Interestingly, the Dysart Arms had four beers at either £2.90 or £3.00 a pint, the strongest of which was 3.8%. The beer in the Traveller's Rest was £2.20 or £2.25 a pint.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-46166249684917074212010-06-21T22:31:08.952+01:002010-06-21T22:31:08.952+01:00In Brunning & Price's defence, they invest...In Brunning & Price's defence, they invest heavily in making their pubs attractive to a wide range of customers, which helps them maintain an impressive cask turnover and generally excellent quality.

I paid £2.95 for a 4.0% beer in Mobberley (so slightly better value than yours) although I had paid £1.53 for Sam Smith's nearby earlier n the week.NAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247378318975737305noreply@blogger.com
