Outside the Bake & Alehouse

Currently in its fourteenth year (and 8 years, 4 months & 18 days since John Morphy took over as Landlord), this Real Ale selling micropub is located in the main shopping area of Westgate, within spitting distance of both Town Centre Bus Stops and the Railway Station
(akin to Platform 9¾ at King's Cross Station, The Bake can be hard to find - here, unlike the Platform, being down a hidden passageway, between The Carlton Cinema & Coral's Bookmakers)
Although the Bake has been here for several years, many who live in Westgate still 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 on the whole, of between five and eight, different Real Ales -
    To date, the Bake & Alehouse has had over 898 different Ales available (or on the stillage, waiting to be served), from over 192 different breweries
    On the 886 where we have recorded the ABV, this have varied in strength 2.90% to 7.00%
  • A selection of Ciders - both Apple & other fruit (such as Mango & Rhubarb)
  • Red, White & Rosé wines
  • Prosecco
  • Vodka
  • Whisky
  • Rum
  • Brandy
  • Gin - with Fever Tree, or Schweppes, tonic
  • Other alcoholic beverages (some seasonal, some one-off)
  • Non-alcoholic drinks, such as Tea, Coffee, Lemonade (Still AND Cloudy), Coke 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 glorious selection of food (Locally Sourced Pork Pies, Pipers Crisps, Peanuts, & other pub snacks), there is also a newspaper, a range of Books (many CAMRA, but not all), a local area notice board, a few pub-games and, perhaps most importantly, some Dog Treats.
