The balloons were out recently as No.3 on Sharrow Vale Road celebrated its first birthday. This welcoming micro-pub is operated by Loxley Brewery – the name comes from the fact that it is the 3rd outlet to be opened by them, not the address. Three hand-pumps feature an ever-changing range of Loxley beers, complemented by 7 guest kegs. The unique bar top is something special.
On the (busy!) night, all customers were treated to a free drink, and a buffet was laid on. The ‘Artisan Tiramusu Boutique’ over the road had closed, so we tucked into pastry-encased delicacies and bread’n’dripping. Lovely. Thanks to all for the hospitality, and here’s to number two, No. 3!
