First built in 1691 and re-built in 1926 this is an impressive Edwardian stone built free house, situated in the Town Hall Square, with many original architectural features remaining. Twelve cask ales are usually available on hand pump. The use of the word 'traditional' under the heading 'Cask Ciders' on the 'Untappd' display board behind the bar may be confusing. Live sporting events are shown on TV and live music plays Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. The hotel features log fires and provides accommodation. The menu features meat from the local butcher and pies made on the premises. A function room is available for hire and there is a heated smokers' area outside.

Always a warm welcome from the friendly staff !

Greater Manchester Pub Of The Year in 2018 & 2019..
