An 18th-century pub with eight handpumps, seven showcasing real ales. Moorhouse's White Witch, Wainwrights and Bowland Brewery beers are usually available alongside a variety of guest ales. This busy country pub has been Lancashire Dining Pub of the year and is noted for its food, with its meat sourced from the Ainscough family farm. The huge front and back beer gardens, with their wildlife area and great views, host a beer festival on the first May bank holiday. Quiz night is every Monday.

Historic Interest

There has probably been a hostelry on the site of the Eagle and Child since at least the early 18th century with a brewery and maltkiln (Maltkiln Lane) on the site of the car park.
