Beside the River Ribble, the main railway line and Miller Park, the pub has a main bar area plus a lounge with a real fire in winter and two conservatories overlooking the garden. Live music and theatre regularly feature in a separate arts/events space called the Boatyard.

There are eight hand pumps, with a cider and up to six microbrewery beers including the house ales from Marble and Pictish plus three pale/blonde beers and a dark beer. Only five hand pumps are in the main bar area, the others are in the back bar although details of all beers available will be on display in the main bar. Freshly cooked meals are served daily except Monday.

A two-time winner of local CAMRA Pub of the Year and multiple nominee for the Good Beer Guide the Continental was awarded the CAMRA Central Lancashire Pub of the Season for Autumn 2018 adding to its list of accolades. Monday opening is in spring and summer months only.
