Micro pub opens at Sawley.

For those that have regularly travelled the upper Trent on their way to the T&M, you may remember  Dave who operated Sawley Lock for years until C&RT decided to move him elsewhere. Dave left C&RT a while ago and has now ventured on a new undertaking, opening a Micro Pub by the lock. Selling only real ales ( he was horrified when I asked for a Larger!) a small sample of each ale could be tried before making the final decision. Price is very comparable to other real ale pubs and the setting couldn't be more idyllic. Having only been open a little over two weeks the footfall through the door when we visited was constant and with his wife running a tea room next door, this is one venture I'm sure will be very successful.  So if you come through the lock Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday it is well worth stopping to sample his ales.
