The High Peak, Tameside & NE Cheshire CAMRA Pub of the Year for 2019 is the excellent Stalybridge Station Buffet Bar.

Featured in many beer publications, and even TV programmes, this enduring Victorian gem is worth missing a train for.  Sympathetically restored and refurbished over the years, the unspoilt interior has earned the Buffet Bar a place on CAMRA’s National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.

Nine handpumps dispense a variety of ever changing beers, most of which are locally sourced, and the bar is also increasingly committed to traditional cider and perry too.  There’s attention to detail with the food as well. Everything is homemade, including an excellent selection of pies. Friday night is ‘Street Food Friday’ and there are also traditional Sunday lunches served.
