Outside the Bake & Alehouse

Currently in its thirteenth year (and 2,766 days since the beloved John Morphy took over as Landlord), this Real Ale selling MicroPub is located in the main shopping area of Westgate, close to both Town Centre Bus Stops and the Railway Station
(akin to Platform 9¾ at King's Cross Station, The Bake is somewhat hidden - this time, unlike the train to Hogwarts, being down a hidden passageway, between The Carlton Cinema & Coral's Bookmakers)

The Bake & Alehouse offers a selection of alcoholic beverages. What's on offer varies, but usually includes:
  • A selection generally between five and eight, of different Real Ales -
    To date, the Bake & Alehouse has had over 877 different ales available (or on the stillage, waiting to be served), from over 186 different breweries
    On the 865 where we have recorded the strength, this has varied from 2.90% to 7.00%
  • A selection of Ciders - both Apple & other fruit (such as Rhubarb & Mango)
  • Red, White & Rosé wines
  • Prosecco
  • Vodka
  • Brandy
  • Rum
  • Whisky
  • Gin - with Fever Tree, or Schweppes, tonic
  • Other alcoholic beverages (some seasonal, some one-off)
  • Non-alcoholic drinks, such as Coffee, Tea, Coke, Lemonade and 'J2O' - not forgetting FREE Squash for the Children

Further details of the range of drinks available can be found on the 'About our Drinks' page

On top of these drinks and a few morsels of food (Locally Sourced Pork Pies, Peanuts, Pipers Crisps, & other pub snacks), there is also a range of Books (many CAMRA, but not all), a local area notice board, a newspaper, a few pub-games and, perhaps most importantly, some Dog Treats.
