The Oaks, Bury

A nice little pub. A central corridor like middle has two areas on each side as you enter with the smaller area to your right for drinking and the larger area to your left for both food and drink. 5 handpumps.

This pub holds the annual World Black Pudding Throwing Championship which used to be held at the Corner Pin pub (no longer there)in Stubbings just down the road.Participants have to throw (underarm)the puddings in an attempt to dislodge a stack of Yorkshire puddings placed on plinths on two levels (one for children,the other for adults)symbolising the ancient rivalry between Lancashire and Yorkshire.The winner is the one who dislodges most Yorkshire puddings in three attempts.
