A Micropub that is decked out to look like a school with library wallpaper and tables and stools that will take you back to your old art room days. A free standing roller blackboard is reguarly updated with information about events such as Meet the Brewer, French Conversation evenings and weekly performances by local musicians. The pub has developed into a welcoming, lively and popular part of the Westhoughton community. There is a small but luxurious meeting room upstairs and a quaint beer garden at the rear. Dogs are made very welcome. Note that the toilets are upstairs. There are four handpumps with local beers and some from further afield. There is usually a mix of beer styles and strengths. You can try before you buy and staff are keen and knowledgable. Up to four bag-in-box ciders are available and sometimes keg-conditioned cider from the fonts. The choice includes some of the best cider producers in the country such as Little Pomona and Udders Orchard. Large racks display canned and bottled beers and ciders, some of these chilled. Bolton Branch Pub of the Year 2018/2022 and Cider Pub of the year in 2020/2021/2022.
