About the Pub
This is the second Bank Top Brewery pub. It sits in a conservation area opposite Horwich Parish Church and alongside 18th and 19th century cottages associated with the areas history of textile weaving and with the nearby historic Wallsuches Bleachworks. Bank Top Estates opened the pub in 2014 after an extensive refurbishment and it became the epitome of a traditional pub with a modern feel. The staff pride themselves on quality service and on their knowledge of the cask beers and real ciders. Eight handpumps showcase real ale from ever-popular Bank Top range and always including Dark Mild, former Champion Mild of Britain. There is always one guest ale on the bar and a good selection of international bottled beers in the fridges. Up to six real ciders and/or perrys are available, half of these cellar-cooled and the rest from the fridges. It is a popular pub to meet and chat and attracts a mixed crowd of locals and and visitors taking advantage of the frequent bus service which stops outside the pub's front door. Walkers who have taken advantage of the local countryside and well-behaved dogs are more than welcome. A small but comfortable beer garden/smoking area is to be found at the rear. Please park thoughtfully when visiting. Branch Winter Pub of the Season 2016/17.
