Has just been acquired by the Beerhouses pub group (Stalybridge Station Buffet Bar, West Riding Licensed Refreshment Rooms, Dewsbury 'et al'). Will close temporarily, for a sympathetic refurb, before a relaunch. Definitely one to watch.

Interesting old pub with some unusual stanchion lighting at the ends of the bar and an impressive bar back. Very noisy karaoke music being played, but luckily no-one singing during our Sunday evening visit. A couple of very smelly foreign guys playing on the pool table at the rear, so we sat in the middle bit. The friendly landlord had a bit of a chat whilst we were being served. 3 handpumps, but only Bombardier actually on. One of the better pints of Bombardier that I've had. It's a reasonable pub, but there's lots of competition around here, so probably won't revisit.

A fairly decent pub. It looks like its had a refurb within the last couple of years as it's quite modern inside compared to the outside. A slender room with the bar along the wall and a pool table at the end of the bar. 3 handpulls on the bar but only Bombardier on on my visit. A pleasant place but nearby Grove and Rat & Ratchet are a better bet for beer. That said it's still nice.

Still a good little pub in the town center always worth a look in un spoilt like it was years ago

A locals pub with an unspoilt-ish interior and John Smith etched windows, many original features survive, the curved counter and bar back are fairly notable. Open plan now but there is a snug area at the front and a formal dining room at the back, the bar has the usual screens and machines and there's a pool table to the rear. Traditional pub furnishings of banquette seats, britannia tables etc. Three handpumps serving Bombardier, Hobgoblin and Copper Dragon Golden Pippin in not bad condition.
