Situated on the towpath of the Bridgewater Canal, the Old Boat House is off Higher Green Lane and was originally built as a stabling for horses that pulled the barges. A major refurbishment was carried out a couple of years ago which opened up the pub to accommodate more dining space. There are still areas for drinking however particularly outside where there is plenty of seating near the canal. Live music features most weekends, details of which can be found on their website.
