This ever-popular friendly local continues to thrive, due in no small part to the landlady who has a track record of serving good beer. The five guest ales on offer include one from a local micro and others often include seasonal beers from regional breweries. A traditional, single-roomed community local, it hosts various sports teams, quiz nights and regular very popular live music including rock, blues and folk. The black & white photos show the pub in 1989. Wirral Branch Community Pub Award 2022.

Historic Interest

Opened in 1877 as the Nags Head, acquired by Birkenhead Brewery and later became a Whitbread pub. After the brewery opened a new pub of the same name nearby in 1973, it attempted to de-license the old Nags Head - but it was saved, renamed McCullochs Pub and in 1980 described as an unusual conversion of a tiny old pub selling a range of Bass beers and McEwans 70/-. In 1983 it was renamed Stanley's Cask by John Stanley a local pub group owner.
