The Britons Protection Manchester
About

Its Regency‑era architecture and preserved 1930s interiors—including terrazzo‑tiled corridors, moulded ceilings and original bar fixtures—create an authentic atmosphere that transports guests through centuries of local lore. The pub’s walls tell the story of the city’s turbulent past, featuring murals that commemorate the nearby Peterloo Massacre of 1819. Inside, patrons can enjoy traditional real ales, craft ciders and a carefully curated selection of whiskies, while the spacious beer garden offers a relaxed setting for sun‑driven afternoons. With multiple rooms, a cozy back bar, and family‑friendly car‑park facilities, The Britons Protection caters to history buffs, beer connoisseurs, couples and families alike.
