This 300 year old pub had a makeover back in 2009 giving the place a clean modern look. On the walls are photos of Manchester United teams and legends (it’s the home of the East Manchester supporters club) along with, paradoxically, memorabilia from that great City fan, boxer Ricky Hatton, including signed boxing gloves. Famous song lyrics are also painted onto the walls throughout. Conventional value-for-money pub food is available 12-6 daily, with traditional roast dinners Sundays. Live music Fridays and Saturdays. Home of an established ladies darts team. Available for functions of up to 100 people. Has had an on-off relationship with cask ale; a new attempt was started in early 2018 but that did not last. Close to both Ryder Brow, and Belle Vue railway stations.
