Multi-roomed pub opposite church, sometimes
funerals on. Also multi-levelled, so unsuitable for the disabled, steps everywhere.
Toilets basic. This is a Thwaits house, refurbished on a sort of Laura Ashley mode. Bench
seats around the walls with dark wooden tables and stools. On the papered walls are fake
historical pictures and objects. The 'L' shaped wooden bar is split into three rooms; a
small snug at the front with TV, the main serving area and another larger room at the top
of the pub. The bar has glass overhang and an interesting spirit glass holder on the bar
ceiling! The food (not Saturday and only lunchtimes) is traditional pub grub with cheap
prices and is wholesome and filling. They do Thwaites ales plus a couple of guest ales. On
this time were Conniston Bluebird and Black Sheep Bitter. Reputed to be haunted, probably
from the church opposite, we didn't see a ghost on this occasion. Parking is limited to
two cars, so walk or park further away. A beer garde out back with kids toys for summer.
Can get busy of an evening.

Notes: |
there are more than two
parking spaces at this pub, the historical pictures are genuine, and the myth
about the pub being haunted is of the ghost of highway ,an George Lyon who
is supposedly buried in the church yard across the road |
