I haven't been here for a very long time! We came for my Uncles funeral tea so it was outside catering which was excellent. It has a neglected air really but I imagine that is down to the Brewery. All wheelchair accessible and there's a small carpark to the rear with a bit of a slope.
Booked function room for a kids football party staff were excellent room clean staff helpful on the night Lovely venue wouldn't hesitate to book the room again
After two changes of landlord, the blind group were made to feel unwanted and uncomfortable. Sandwich prices were increased dramatically and contents were no longer suitable for vegetarians, also gluten free options were discontinued. The staff were not so friendly or amenable making it essential to find a new venue for our group. This establishment has since spent money outside but without the warmth that used to be experienced by groups such as ours then the future looks bleak for this establishment.
Visited yesterday to watch our team, Bolton play against Barnsley.Great service, good beer at good prices. Friendly staff and felt very welcome.Thank you.
I came here for my daughter's friend's 8th birthday party. The staff were very proactive and professional. The place was clean and inviting and the decor in the function room is lovely all-round good experience 😊
