Will Larter left this review about Park Inn
A visit to some of the pubs on Camra's inventory of historic interiors had started in the rain in Gorton, but it was slacking as I approached Swinton on the bus. The Park was considered of some interest at the time of my visit, but a reassessment by Camra's heritage pubs group saw this one de-listed. Well, I liked it anyway. It retains an old layout of individual rooms and it has a lived-in feel to it. What more could you want? Oh yes, it's also friendly and has some very good Holts bitter.
The Park Inn is in brewers tudor style, with a drinking corridor with Holts mild and bitter on the bar, a lounge on the right and a snug further back, plus a door labelled Vaults to the front left. This was where the regulars were congregated, occupying benches covered in red leatherette. It turned out I had sat on someone's bench, but no harm done, I was only here for a quick half and a natter about heritage pubs. My half of bitter was very good (NBSS 3.5) and just £3.20/pint (remember those days?).

Not quite as salubrious as the sister holts pub the white swan, just down the road. The front bar was rowdy with regulars. A sides lounge was more spacious and sedate. Friendly Staff. Holts bitter as good as the White Swan but the Two Hoots was average.

The Park Inn is a Holts pub with a thin L-shaped seating area to the left, larger seating area in the right bar and a room at the rear. There is a TV in the left and right rooms, but I didn’t visit the rear room that was very busy with a local crowd. The bar supports the usual keg range and all three hand pumps were badged with Holts Bitter.
