This busy, friendly town centre pub opposite the market has a fine inter-war Masseys of Burnley facade, original tiled floors and staircase. Internally there has been a major refurbishment, with seating bays installed using leather car seats (designed for the original Mini, we believe) around tables, whilst a new bar was installed during lockdown. The remarkable collection of memorabilia around the walls heavily features Castleford Tigers RLFC.

Live bands play after 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays, with a singer on Monday (and occasionally Sunday) afternoons.

Please note the reduced midweek opening hours from July 2026.
