Located on a busy main road which links Blackburn to Darwen, The Golden Cup is a beautiful building with an attractive kerb appeal. Internally there is a central bar, a snug area to the front and further seating areas to the left. An open fire creates a cosy environment for customers.

A large outside fenced beer garden with picnic table hosts local residents, sports teams and football fans, both Home and Away, attending Blackburn Rovers, which is just a mile walk away.
