The British Queen, Bacup

A good looking stone built building on the outside. The inside is rather more shabby. The lounge to the right as you enter is OK, but the rest needs a spruce up. There's a dartboard and pool table to the rear. A giant screen rolled up means I'm guessing they major on sport. Seats all around the bar full of bar blockers. The barmaid was very offhand with me and served a couple of regulars out of turn. Lots of total scrotes in the bar with Primark grey trackies being a bit posh for here. It's pretty poor all round. No real ale of course and a half of Fosters was only £1.15. Won't ever be coming here again.

my husband and i are the new managers of the British Queen, unfortunatly we don't have a choice regarding children, it is in our licence conditions, i myself would love to have children, as even my own family cannot visit the pub with their little ones. I am led to believe it has something to do with past history on the place, and even though it no longer has a bad reputation, the licencing and owners of the company (the pub is part of a chain) will not alter the conditions. The Wellington pub on rochdale road allows children to a certain time and it is a good pub also under new management, which is one to keep in mind for parents.

not a child friendly pub not good for a one parent family who ejoys a drink come on get your act togather you need the coustom

The new landlords of this establishment are very friendly. The new furnishings and games machines make it more entertaining. No idiots are allowed if they are on Pub Watch they deffinatly can't get in. Entertainment, kareoke and more.
