“Award winning pub” gets bandied about a lot but The Petersgate Tap’s 14 awards in 4 years speaks for itself. 

Since it opened on Stockport’s Petersgate in 2016, father and son team, Alan and Chris Gent have been passionate real ale supporters consistently promoting local or smaller breweries. They’ve also been supporters of local ‘beery’ initiatives (CAMRA’s Mild Magic, the Independent Salford Beer Festival etc.).

Alan and Chris are also keen cider promoters, twice winning the CAMRA Greater Manchester Regional Cider Pub Of The Year award.

6 handpumps and 4 keg lines consistently offer an interesting mix of beers and strengths, but their true speciality is for strong dark beers. The absolute highlights of these are their twice yearly Monsters Weekends, featuring a long list of imperial strength beers from nearby Torrside Brewing.

During lockdown, The Petersgate Tap is operating a local delivery service offering 2 and 4 pint containers of draft beer alongside a range of bottles and cans. You can order via their website:
