Situated less than two miles from Bolton town centre near to Doffcocker Lodge, which is a well known nature reserve, this traditional pub with a modernised bar area but which retains the wonderful snug complete with bell pushes. A new extension with disabled access leading to a garden area also has a pool room.. Sandwiches are always available. Convenient for RSPB visitors to nearby Doffcocker Lodge. Often referred to as the Little Cocker in deference to the larger Doffcocker Inn across the road.
