Strawberry Gardens in Droylsden. Proper family run pub. Keeps the knobheads outs, so has loads of regulars,
Landlords a Blue and used to be a Chef. So everybody gets free food from time to time and it is stunning. All the local Pool/Darts teams cannot wait to play there as they get the best free food in the leagues. Free comedy night the first Thursday of every month. Curry and a pint for £6.95 every Tuesday.
(yes it's a shameless advert for him, but they really work at it and are always giving back to their regulars. I dread the day that pub shuts!)
