Traditional stone built village pub which, although opened up, still retains the impression of having three separate rooms with two open fires. Sadly the original Glen Top brewery windows have been removed. Beers from the seasonal ranges of Hydes and Beer Studio dominate the guest beers. Quiz nights are held on Thursdays. A small beer garden overlooking Helmshore Textile Museum and lodge can be reached by steps to the side of the pub.
