Cask & Kiln

Cracking selection of beers, great atmosphere. Small bar and quite tight, meaning it can be a real effort both getting to the seating area at the back of the bar, and getting served, but that's a necessary evil in all popular places. Looks like they do querky alternative quiz nights on weekdays which could be well worth a visit. Alas, I'm not on the Game of Thrones obsession train, so I won't be there.

This is a great small pub. When we went it was not too busy, the guy behind the bar was very friendly and everyone seemed to get along with each other. There is a good selection of beer and I soon settled on a favourite (Though I couldn't tell you what it was!) If the idea of small independent friendly pubs sounds appealing then the cask and kiln is worth a visit.

Good decor, with the 1970s chopper bike suspended from the ceiling of the back room being a particular talking point. Cosy lighting. Nice use of what looks like reclaimed wood on one of the walls. Excellent choice of spirits, with the extensive rum selection being a very pleasant surprise. Downside: you'll need to budget in advance for your visit. It's eye-wateringly pricey.

Great bar in Chorlton next to the precinct opposite the Co-op. Vast array of single malts and good selection of draught beers. The Pilsner is a good choice. Outside area at the front to watch the bearded folk of Chorlton pass by. Also a beer garden at the rear but nothing much to see there. Pool table in the back room is a definite draw. All in all a great little bar that I would recommend whole heartedly.

My husband was lucky enough to win a meal for two voucher (£30) at the Cask & Kiln on a tombola in Chorlton two Saturdays ago. Last Saturday we had lunch there and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The staff were really welcoming and we decided on an early lunch before football was on the TV. The Cask & Kiln is full of character and has plenty of tables and seating inside as well as outside at the front. You do not feel too close to the busy road and it was cool and pleasant to eat in the extremely hot weather we are enjoying at present. We both had a lightly spiced chicken burger and sweet potato fries with salad garnish. I had two soft drinks and my husband had a pint of cask ale and a whisky. The bar has the best selection of whisky we have seen and the barman was quite knowledgeable about the whiskies. We would thoroughly recommend the Cask & Kiln and will definitely go there again ourselves. We have been to Chorlton many times to visit family and did not know about it or realise how good it is, especially the cask ales and whisky selection. Without realising our bill came to 10p over the £30 and we did not have to pay the 10 pence!! If you are in Chorlton please pay a visit to the Cask & Kiln

Interesting newish bar in an under-pubbed part of Chorlton. Far more spacious inside than it at first seems. The front room including the bar then leads on to a larger rear room with TV. The decor is rustic with bare filament bulbs mixing with a corrugated iron-fronted bar. Friendly welcome and a good choice of cask beers.
