Beware, Wainwright (or Hobgoblin) beers are keg brewery conditioned beers misleadingly served by handpump. They are not cask conditioned real ales.
The pub was reopened in September 2017 following structural repairs and refurbishment necessary after a major explosion in New Ferry on the evening of 25th March 2017. The refurbishment has given the pub a clean modern appearance while retaining a very traditional layout and atmosphere. A very lively town centre local in a pedestrian shopping area in the centre of New Ferry. Large free car park at rear accessible from New Chester Road. CAMRA Wirral Pub of the Season Summer 2022.
This venue has been flagged by CAMRA volunteers as using a misleading dispense method to serve beer.
This is a 'Fresh Ale' - a keg beer served through a cask handpump. Find out more here Handpump Hijack.
If in doubt, we recommend that you Ask if it's Cask before making a purchase.

Acquired by Thwaites in the 1970s and described in 1980 as a pleasant small friendly local with a thriving jug and bottle trade selling Thwaites Best Mild and Bitter by handpump. The black & white photos were taken in 1981 when the pub was a Thwaites tenancy and a regular Good Beer Guide entry. Of the nine pubs in New Ferry in the 1970s, only the Cleveland survives.
