The Flying Horse, Rochdale

This is a large pub, popular with older gents at the time of my visit earlier this week. 12 hand pulls including at least one cider available - I think just one pull was out of service so that's a pretty decent offering. Sport was on the TVs but muted in favour of background music. Another pub I would be happy to recommend and make a return visit to if back in the area.

The Flying Horse consists of three seating areas in front of a long L-shaped bar that supports twelve hand pumps. The available beers are listed on a television screen on the back bar and a premium keg range is also available alongside Carling. More seating is found behind the bar and a couple of plasma screens were showing Sky Sports whilst some background music played. Food is available, the pub classics on the Specials board were all priced under £10 and there are food deals throughout the week. The service was polite, but my pint of Staropramen wasn’t the best.
