  • Community Run

Welcoming and friendly village local in the beautiful rural village of Samlesbury, which reopened in May 2024 as a local community-acquired venture, managed by a selection of the local community. Inside, it is smart and comfortable with a central bar serving two distinct drinking areas. The L-shaped lounge is mainly used by diners, with the walls decorated with pictures from local artists. There is a tap room behind the bar. Dogs are welcome, with water and treats provided and their own menu.

Community Run

The Nabs Head, Nabs Head Lane, Samlesbury, was facing closure by owner Thwaites after the previous two landlords had failed to make the business work. However, a group of Samlesbury residents (Friends of the Nabs Head Limited) came together and approached the brewery about running the pub and took over on May 1 2024.
