Now privately owned, this pub is where the West Lancs CAMRA branch was formed in 1973. It has a traditional style wood panelled bar with two rooms off the main bar area. Following Covid, the beer garden to the rear and side is now largely enclosed. Food features authentic wood-fired pizzas.

The eight guest beers can be sourced from all over the country, providing a wide choice of regional and beer types while retaining a strong emphasis on local microbreweries.

The pub gets very busy on PNE match days when it opens its doors at 11am. Local CAMRA Pub of the Year 2019.

Asset of Community Value

Originally in a terrace of shops, it is now isolated as all the neighbouring properties have been swept away. The front door is usually locked so go around the back and knock on the window!

Up to c.1980 there was two small rooms on the right with a small bar (half the size of the present one) and a hatch to the rear darts room. The rooms were combined and the present counter added and a fine old carved mirrored bar back introduced from another pub. Has a good original Victorian tiled, cast iron and wood surround fireplace but the mantelpiece was added in 1980. The snug on the front left retains original fixed seating. The small room on the rear left has no old fittings so is probably one brought into use and now used for storage. Not enough to include.

Update 2015: Re-opened
