The Oast House Wins Best Gastro Pub in UK

The Oast House Wins Best Gastro Pub in UK

August 3rd, 2012

We are thrilled to announce that The Oast House has been included in ShortList’s top 50 gastropubs of the year, as its Number One!

ShortList’s Pints & Pistachios column was born from journalists tales of fine stablishments they'd dined in the night before and the exotic drinks they'd supped while eating. Remarkably, the establishments were pubs.

In 2012 they rated the best gastro pub, using 5,000 votes at ShortList.com to create a definitive result of the UK's favourite. Taking the number one position was The Oast House - ours truly! Here's what they said...

The Oast House, Manchester

Essential info: The Avenue Courtyard, Spinningfields, M3; theoasthouse.uk.com

Specialities: Ploughman’s boards, deli boards, barbecued burgers, steaks and ‘hanging’ kebabs – they’ve pretty much got your hunger covered.

Ale tale: A fabulous ale selection including Brewdog Punk IPA, regional brew Coronation Street, wheat beers and local dark beers such as Marble Chocolate and Brewer’s Dark.

What we say: This traditional Kentish hop-roasting building in the middle of Manchester walks away with the top prize less than a year after opening. There wasn’t space for a kitchen on the premises so the owners simply built one outside. Now that the sun has finally arrived, there’s a huge outdoor terrace where you can eat our recommendation of flattened rump steak with seasoned chips.

What you say: “A great atmosphere in which to eat and drink. The large range of beers, fruit beers, ciders and cask ales makes the food taste even better.” Stuart Thorley
