The Edgar Wood in Middleton

Ah, The Edgar Wood in Middleton – it's one of those local spots that really captures the heart of a good British pub, isn't it? I have to say, it's got that warm, inviting feel where you can pop in for a pint and end up chatting away the evening. The staff are absolute gems, always up for a laugh and making sure everyone's looked after, and the drinks deals are spot on for keeping things affordable without skimping on quality. If you're into your sports, it's a brilliant place to catch the big games with all those screens dotted around, and the occasional karaoke night or free grub on Thursdays adds a real spark to the place. Plus, with the beer garden and being dog-friendly, it's ideal for a relaxed afternoon. On the flip side, though, it's not without its quirks – I've heard a few tales of service that didn't quite hit the mark, like unexpected ID requests that left some feeling a bit miffed, and honestly, the decor could use a bit of TLC to freshen it up. Overall, it's a solid choice for a laid-back get-together, but maybe keep your expectations in check for the finer details, and you'll have a cracking time.
