The MoCa Bar, Matlock

This place is a surprise for real ale drinkers because, from the outside, it looks like the sort of place which offers a couple of mass-produced lagers for those whose preference would really be a cocktail. It is, however, a bastion of the real ale tradition - at least in terms of beers on offer - offering a least three alternatives, with a range of different flavours. The seating was a bit posy - elevated tables and accompanying unwieldy stools - but the ambience was good - the MoCa seems to attract a mixture of ages and, to cap it all off, they offer pork pie and pickle for £1.20. Excellent!
