Built around 1826, this authentic village pub reflects the former mill village it used to serve. Renovated in 2021 this former Matthew Brown house retains many features including the large stone lion at roof level above the door. Close to the West Pennine moors, many local walks pass by. A comfortable lounge with open fire and a second room up a few steps.

Quiz night is on Monday, Curry night on alternate Tuesdays and live music on a Thursday. As well as lunch and evening meals, breakfast is served Saturdays & Sundays from 10am.

A fine range of ales is always available with at least one dark beer and one strong ale (over 5%) and an ever changing selection from independent breweries from all over.
