The Tap End finally opened in June 2021 after Covid-19 delays in the former Robby’s Cards and Gifts shop-unit on Blackpool Road just a couple of doors down from the Lane Ends pub. This is a high-end micropub specializing in cask and craft ales generally sourced from microbreweries. It has capacity for around 50 people and provides a fairly low-key atmosphere conducive to conversation. Dark wood with subdued lighting add to this and air-conditioning should control the temperature. There are currently four handpumps dispensing cask ales with a variety of styles on offer. There are also eight craft keg lines - 4 beer, 3 lager and 1 cider, some of which are from key keg containers. There are also various beers in bottles and cans available. Changes to all beers are immediately uploaded to the Untapp'd and Real Ale Finder apps and beer menus are available providing full descriptions of current and future beers for your perusal.
