The Trafford Arms is one of those pubs which unfortunately I fear for. Currently it is doing good business with a strong customer base and loyal, local, regulars. They serve a good range of ales, a good range of lagers and also home cooked food. There is a pool table and darts and some live sport. However, the pub is unappealing to younger people, it is a little out of the way and the decoration makes you feel like you are in someones living room. Don't get me wrong, I like this pub. The Woodfordes Wherry is perfectly served and the food is well priced and generously served but I just feel that this pub could die out over the next five years. It is lively at lunch times and at the weekends with a friendly atmosphere so I would recommend it for a visit.
The beer is well priced with most ales still under £3 and most lagers under £3.50. Although it is not a city centre pub I feel that more could be done with it to maximise the profit and the customer experience. It does feel a little dated, which in some circumstances can add to a pubs character, but this is not one of those circumstnaces.
