This is a Greene King managed house, but also has a couple of guest cask conditioned ales. The central bar area serves several well decorated semi enclosed spaces. The rear part is given over to food, with an extensive, reasonably priced full menu but also jacket potatoes, sandwiches, burgers and tapas, and a carvery on Sundays. Although the rear section is primarily for diners, you may eat at any of the many tables. There is also an extensive garden area when the weather is clement. Being residential with eight en-suite bedrooms, it serves a full English breakfast from 7.30am but is only open to the public from 9am. Occasional beer festivals were held that featured up to 15 ales.

Historic Interest

Built as Oakley Manor, it was originally called the Ravenoak (1882) and catered for English style evening meals to live piano accompaniment, receptions, it also provided accommodation. It was rebuilt in 1998 by Hardy and Hansons and became the Governor's House. At one stage it was the most Northerly pub in the Hardy and Hansons estate until they opened a pub in Worsley. That brewer was then taken over, and the pub is now owned by the Greene King Brewery.
