The Pegs in Ashton

Ah, The Pegs – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a reliable old mate in Ashton-under-Lyne, you know? From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this warm, family-oriented charm that's perfect if you're out with the little ones; there's a play area and outdoor seating that folks rave about, especially on nice days. The beer and food get plenty of thumbs up too, with people mentioning it's spot on for a casual bite or a proper pint. And if you're planning a do, like a birthday bash, the function room sounds like a winner – quick service and helpful staff make it all run smoothly. On the flip side, the opening hours are a bit of a muddle; they've got conflicting times listed, which might catch you out if you're not careful. Plus, while it's generally well-liked with a solid 4.3 rating, a couple of reviews hint it's just 'okay' in places, so it might not wow you every time if you're after something more lively. All in all, it's a decent spot for a laid-back evening or family outing, but worth checking the details first to make sure it fits the bill.
