The Rover's is an interesting pub to say the least. The bar features handpumps fashioned from the ends of fire hoses, a real fire burns beneath the dartboard and one room is preserved as a shrine to Blackburn Rovers FC. Then there is the truly eclectic and enthusiastic mix of clientele, referred to as "Bushy People" in the local CAMRA newsletter after the Bushy's house beers. Desperate Dan size portions of food are served at lunchtimes. The Rover's held its first beer festival in November 2010, returning in 2012, and fingers crossed it will now become an annual event. The Rover's would be a famous landmark if it was not tucked away behind the Town Hall

Historic Interest
