Smart, canal-side boozer. Gives the impression from the outside of being very traditional within, however it was extended some years ago in a very modern fashion to include a large lounge overlooking the garden. Small area to the front left with a smart fireplace, to the right is another larger room with large leather booth seating and tub chairs. To the back is the newer extension with an area for live entertainment. If drinking outside and in good weather, you may see boaters progressing through the nearby lock on the Ashton Canal.
If you encounter Wainwright Gold being sold on handpump here, be aware this is a brewery-conditioned beer. It is part of Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company's (CMBC) Fresh Ale line-up. Fresh Ale is a keg beer that's brewed using a similar method to cask ale, but is NOT cask ale.
This venue has been flagged by CAMRA volunteers as using a misleading dispense method to serve beer.
This is a 'Fresh Ale' - a keg beer served through a cask handpump. Find out more here Handpump Hijack.
If in doubt, we recommend that you Ask if it's Cask before making a purchase.
