Woodside

Head down to Valley Road and you'll find Woodside doing what it does best—being the kind of pub where regulars prop up the bar and newcomers feel welcome within five minutes. It's got that comfortable, lived-in feel that's become rarer round Crewe these days; the sort of place where you can nurse a pint for hours without anyone making you feel like you're taking up space. The Greene King operation means decent cask ales and a food menu that goes beyond your standard pub fare, pitched at reasonable prices that won't have you wincing at the bill.
