1300hrs –

1. The Woodstock (Barlow Moor Road) Located close to the main crossroads in West Didsbury where Barlow Moor Road

intersects Palatine Road. Walking from Didsbury village down Barlow Moor Road (away from Didsbury village) and within a couple of minutes you will see Albert’s Shed (which used to be the dreadful Barleycorn) on the right diagonally opposite.

A good pint of ale can be found here and it describes its drinks menu as “longer than a local WAG's credit card bill” rooted name, prices suit. The bar staff are occasionally overwhelmed on the rare days when the sun is out and the outdoor area is full patchy.

2. The Nelson (Barlow Moor Road) Come out of the Woodstock and head right down Barlow Moor road for about ten

minutes (it's a fairly long walk). This will take you into the heart of Didsbury Village. The Nelson is the small pub lurking on the right hand corner as you approach Wilmslow Road.

A great pub, if you like your drinking establishments old fashioned and stuck in a time warp, which I do. The interior décor from the 60s has recently been updated to circa late 70s though they seem to have used up all of the tiles for the bathroom on the outside. Here you can watch the horse and dog racing simultaneously (on the longer distances I’d bet on the horse if I were you), have a pint of ale and chat to the friendly staff!

3. The (Famous) Crown (Wilmslow Road) Right out of the Nelson and then walk right down Wilmslow Road in the direction of

Parrs Wood. You’ll see on the corner a big wide pub, with a black banner and gold lettering, called The Crown, on the right. For a while it stopped being famous and was just “The Crown” but its last LP was a return to form and ITV2 are showing an interest so it must again be ‘Famous’reasonably priced - not bad pub grub fare.

not bad pub grub fare.

4. The Didsbury (Wilmslow Road) Come out of The Crown and continue right down Wilmslow Road even though it

looks like there aren't any pubs this way. It takes about ten minutes to walk it but after a few years of only having one pint before having to turn heels and return you can now also enjoy some Olde Cock action (snigger). The Didsbury is the second of two pubs as the road dog-legs left - the one with the big sign marked "The Didsbury".

For sunny days The Didsbury has a large beer garden and is packed solid, so sometimes as much as twice a year. Food service and quality is variable though the place has a charm despite leaning too close to the gastro pub side of things groups of dozeners seem to be an inconvenience (perhaps because we mess up the conveniences).

5. Ye Olde Cock Inn (Wilmslow Road) If you can’t find this after four pints then give up now. Proof, if it were needed, that

the English aren’t ready for continental dining culture – this exrestaurant has become a pub again! A large pub / restaurant tolerate the inevitable pub crawls now – not a cheap round but the beer is top notch. So-called due to the illegal cock fighting that once took place here we need to resurrect this? If they do food – I’d avoid the fish, might have been hanging around a while.

6. The Royal Oak (Wilmslow Road) Now head back into Didsbury Village the way you came – the Oak is on the right

hand-side just past the Famous Crown. The Oak flies the flag for proper pubs in Manchester. No idea where the actual oak is though – probably find some old roots under the foundations of the pub, or maybe they used it to make the outdoor patio furniture.

A crying shame they don’t do Pâté and Cheese on the weekend. this place once housed legal cock-fighting – the pink one won as it was powered by Duracell.

7. Fletcher Moss (late The Albert) (William Street) Named after the alderman who gifted the local Fletcher Moss park. The Moss is

found down a little side street (not the street immediately on the right but the next one) BEHIND the Royal Oak. The old Landlords have moved on to complain about library opening times and annoy supermarket workers so you no longer have to watch your language – remains to be seen if shouting “Pinhead” will now be tolerated, something which would have got you barred previously (along with moving tables and having the audacity to laugh loudly or dare to look like you were enjoying yourself).

8. The (John) Milson Rhodes (School Lane) Head right out of the Moss and cross over School Lane to find that we’ve added a

McSpoons to the pub crawl. Give ‘embut with cheap gimmicky décor. The website gives the pub history as “Coming Soon” – let’s see, if after this experiment, we’re still coming back soon.

The history is (yes – I’ll do their job for them) that Dr.Didsbury clock-tower is a memorial) was a forerunner in the reformation of work houses. He was an expert in “Poor Law”, improving the lot for the poor by overhauling the rules on work house food provisions. Fitting then that his nameshould be used for a Wetherspoons where the poor congregate for Victorian style nourishment and cheap all-day drinking entertainment.

9. The Dog & Partridge (Wilmslow Road) Head up School Lane to the cross roads and turn right to find this just a

corner. Another Irish themed feel pub and one of Didsbury’s most popular pubs free peanuts and a great wooden floor though there is never anywhere to sit strictly standing room only! If the blind bloke is in (is he still around?) watch hislyly eat all the peanut shells from the floor. The dog’s owner probably had the last laugh though – he’s been conning the dog for years that he was blind.

10. The Slug & Lettuce (Wilmslow Road) Head right out of the D&P and walk for two minutes past the chain bars and

restaurants. The nicest thing I can say is to quote a website review “Large chain restaurant with a sun terrace in the heart of East Didsbury village”. Drink your continental lager and get out quick reasons. If you’re wearing a hoodie expect to be asked for a hug.

11. The Station (Wilmslow Road) Let’s do the pub time-warp again (and if the disco is on you really might)! Described

as looking like the Tardis from the outside, and the Tardis from the inside. Apparently called ‘The Station’ because Didsbury railway station used to be opposite it – now valid again as the Metro will have a station here. Expect to end up talking to / being talked at by the locals whom seem friendly until we take over the disco with cheese and Stevie gets his tie on his head!

12. O’Neill’s (Wilmslow Road) Big faux-Irish pub (which is about as Irish as I am) across the street, hardly any

distance from D&P. Big blue banner the place like the plague so you won’t find any here. This is where the magnitude of twelve pints, on a hangover, starts to hit you (except Stig of course)!
