Modern open-plan Wetherspoon pub with raised areas to the side and rear. Preston's students and citizens,both young and old, appreciate the range of ales and food at good prices. The social mix creates a bustling atmosphere and the bar can get extremely busy at weekends. Alcohol served from 9am daily. The pub holds two beer festivals a year with barrels set up on extra stillages alongside the bar. The guest beers vary in both style and strength, but frequently tend towards the stronger end of the scale.

This pub is signed up to the CAMRA voucher scheme.
