An old pub dating back to the 16th -17th century on the old Roman Road between Manchester and Ribchester. It is owned by local brewery Hydes and has four handpumps on the bar. These have three regular and one seasonal beer. Most of the rooms have wood burning stoves and there is a restaurant at the rear. Its position between Bury and Bolton commands fabulous 360 degree views. There is a pub quiz Tuesday evenings and occasional live music.

50p off a pint of cask ale on Mondays..
