Buxton Brewery Tap House, Buxton

Part of a confusing complex of bars and restaurants in a Georgian stone building. This one has a zigzag shape with two arms off a central spine. The counter occupies the long straight part, four pulls and two horseshoes of umpteen kegs, all are displayed on a blackboard behind. A menu of small plates, sandwiches and burgers is available. Seating at various styles of seating; sofas, stools, tables and chairs. Nice decor including railway posters and a whole wall covered with a can label. Beer better than average but not really brewery tap standard. Toilets to the right but some signs say urinals or cubicles others men/women - men requiring the disposal of solids visit the ladies.

Busier than the Cellar Bar but with another good range of Buxton beers. If memory serves I went for Summer Ale which was very good. Worth a visit.

This is the very foody part of the Buxton brewery empire. Very busy on our Sunday, early evening visit with almost all the tables taken, mainly for eating. They managed to find us a two seater sofa with a small table in front of it which wasn't very comfortable. It's a pleasant enough place and would probably be great at a quieter time. Two cask ales available and the Buxton Blonde was in good nick. We drank up pretty quickly and went to the nearby Buxton Cellar bar which was much more comfortable.
