Outside the Bake & Alehouse

Today in its twelfth year (and 6 years, 10 months & 18 days since John Morphy took over as Landlord), this micropub is located in the main shopping area of Westgate, close to both Town Centre Bus Stops and the Railway Station
(The Bake & Alehouse is somewhat hidden, being in a 'secret' alley, between The Carlton Cinema & Coral's Bookmakers)
Although the Bake has been here for a number of years, many Westgate residents still haven't heard of it and don't know where it is!

The Bake & Alehouse offers a selection of alcoholic beverages. What's on offer varies, but usually includes:
  • A selection, generally between 5 and 8, of different Real Ales -
    To date, the Bake & Alehouse has had over 852 different brews available (or on the stillage, waiting to be served), from over 180 different breweries
    For the 839 where we have recorded the alcoholic 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
  • Rum
  • Whisky
  • Gin - with Fever Tree, or Schweppes, tonic
  • Brandy
  • 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 this range of drinks and a few morsels of food (Peanuts, Pork Scratchings, Kettle Crisps, & other pub snacks), there is also a local area notice board, a range of Books (many CAMRA, but not all), a newspaper, a few pub-games and, perhaps most importantly, some Dog Treats.
