Bolton Market, Ashburner Street/Moor Lane, Bolton, BL1 1TQ (View on Google Map)
No website available

No Cask Beer Available. It's the smallest pub in town! and much smaller than the one in Southport that claims to be Britain's smallest! The small bar inside has a mock fireplace and just enough room to serve up a few keg beers/lagers and a small hot drinks machine to for those wishing to have a tea/coffee on the cold days to keep the chill off! There is room to fit only a small number of drinkers inside with several tables outside where you can watch the world go by and maybe enjoy the sun ! The Market Car Park adjacent to the pub is free after 5pm though charges are made from 9am to 5pm every day including for Blue Badge Holders. One of the few things to survive from the days when Bob (the founder of the pub, who has now sadly passed away) is a large Monkey seated on a stool at the entrance which welcomes one and all. Toilets are situated inside the market a few minutes walk from the bar and are open on Market Days only!
