The Trafalgar Inn in Ashton

Ah, The Trafalgar Inn – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem, you know? From what I've gathered, it's got this incredibly welcoming atmosphere where you walk in and instantly feel at ease, like you're among mates. The staff are spot on, always helpful and respectful, and the regulars are just as brilliant, turning strangers into friends over a good chat. You're getting top-quality pints at prices that are easy on the wallet, plus there's a free pool table to liven things up a bit. And it's kept really tidy, which is always a nice touch in a busy spot. On the flip side, their website's playing up, so it's not the easiest to get the lowdown online, and the opening times look a bit jumbled, which could catch you out if you're planning ahead. Still, if you're after a straightforward, no-fuss pub for a catch-up or a quiet drink, this one's a winner – it's got that heartwarming community feel without trying too hard. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone who loves a traditional British boozer, though it might not wow you if you're in the mood for something more modern.
