I'm sure some of the brits on here could review each of these as pubs. For my part Ye Olde Fighting Cocks has good beer and food and of course very low ceilings - definitely feels like a very old pub. The George Inn is also very good, although in a much quieter area, and I didn't even notice it was particularly old when I visited, you also start to get suspicious when you go across to the Fleur de Lys and find out that both of these pubs in this tiny tiny village are run by literally the same people - on the day we were there one guy had to run back and forth across the road because they were low on staff.
- youngNed 4y agoI was last in the Old Man & Scythe[1] about 15 years ago. It was one of those weird and wonderful cider places. I had a couple and became slowly aware that i couldn't actually use my legs anymore. Pretty sure at least one other person in the pub had pissed themselves. The two are probably related, and to anyone who has drank around the Bradshawgate in Bolton, this is by no means a reason to disregard a pub. I eventually regained use of my legs and carefully stumbled home. 11/10 [1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ye_Olde_Man_%26_Scythe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ye_Olde_Man_%26_Scythe
- arethuza 4y agoI think I've had similar cider - last time I touched the stuff was 1983. The only other stuff on my "never drink again" list being Norwegian aquavit - funnily enough something I learned to avoid a couple of years later. University life may have been involved.
