The Beach, Hollingworth Lake, Littleborough

I live about 5 minutes walk from the Beach and for several years up to 2010 I hardly went in the place due to its bad atmosphere, poor food, bad service, screaming kids and indifferent beers. I am pleased to say that over the past few months this has all changed. My wife and I eat out at least twice a week and we now make a point of visiting the Beach on one of these occasions. It has changed into a very good pub in pleasant surroundings with excellent food and two variable popular real ales which are served quickly by friendly staff. Many meals are 2 for £10 and this includes a 10oz gammon which is incredibly good value (and very popular). My favourite beer is Black Sheep and this is regularly one of the real ales along with Timothy Taylors Landlord. The last time we had a meal there was two days ago and the place is becoming very busy. We consider ourselves very lucky to have this pub and also "The Gallows" (which is just as good) within walking distance.
