Dog & Partridge

This ever popular pub offers four different real ales in a traditional bare-boarded, beer-house setting. The look is anything but rustic though, as the month long refurbishment in Sep 2017 altered it from shabby to a classy chic interior (which may not be to the taste of those expecting a traditional pub). The interior goes back quite a way into the building, seating is to that right side; at the front is panelled snug where people can get away from the hub-bub of the main bar. Always attracts a young crowd in the evenings but at lunchtime and afternoons there is a good mix. The pub always seems to have knowledgeable staff which is a big plus along with food offering of sandwiches, soup, a deli board, and a cheese board available. Quiz every Monday evening along with constant sport on the TV screens dotted around the place. Events: from July 2019 - Tue and Thu all cask ales are £3 / pint; Wed is Cheese Night (free). History: in Feb 2017 the pub came under the same management (Pilling and Pride) as the Moortop on Heaton Moor, that arrangement ended in early 2019.
