Outside the Bake & Alehouse

Currently in its twelfth year (and 6 years, 2 months & 1 day since John Morphy took over as Landlord), this Real Ale selling Micro-pub is located in the main shopping area of Westgate, close to both Town Centre Bus Stops and the Railway Station
(The Bake can be hard to find, being located in a discrete passageway, between Coral's Bookmakers & The Carlton Cinema)
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 and Alehouse offers a selection of alcoholic beverages. What's on offer varies, but usually includes:
  • A selection of between 5 and 8, different Real Ales -
    To date, the Bake & Alehouse has had over 834 different brews available (or on the stillage, waiting to be served), from over 178 different breweries
    On the 821 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)
  • Prosecco
  • Red, White & Rosé wines
  • Whisky
  • Brandy
  • Gin - with Fever Tree, or Schweppes, tonic
  • Vodka
  • Rum
  • Other alcoholic beverages (some seasonal, some one-off)
  • Non-alcoholic drinks, such as Tea, Coffee, 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 tipples and a wonderous selection of food (Pork Scratchings, Hand Raised Pork Pies, Peanuts, Kettle Crisps, & other pub snacks), there is also a newspaper, a local area notice board, a range of Books (many CAMRA, but not all), a few pub-games and, perhaps most importantly, some Dog Treats.
