Above the entrance of the Central is a very impressive domed skylight and across the ceiling is a long Walker’s Warrington Ales sign. In the front windows to the right of the entrance is a snug with red banquettes, that are found throughout, and a couple of tables. Mid-way up the right-hand wall is a U-shaped serving counter that supports standard and premium keg alongside four hand pumps, three of which were in use drawing Ossett’s White Rat, Bombardier and Little Tales Beer Co’s Alchemist. To the left of the entrance is some raised seating with banquettes along the front left window and up the left-hand wall. At the rear are more seating areas, again with banquettes, and on the rear wall is a fireplace. All of the walls area panelled with etched mirrors and there are also etched glass partitions throughout the pub. During a recent midweek evening visit the televisions throughout were airing muted Premier League football while some oldies played in the background. The service was polite and my pint of Ossett was very good so I’d have no issue returning to this ornate pub again.

A very pleasant surprise for me having dodged in here to avoid a sudden downpour. The dome above you just inside the entrance is unusual and the whole place is covered in ornate mirrors and glass, there's also some good looking tiling. Four handpumps all badged and whilst Bombardier and Wainwright were still in attendance, my half of White Rat was in excellent condition. When I arrived the background music was Motown, but that suddenly changed to OAP karaoke, some of whom weren't bad at all. Happy to add this as a possible visit next time I'm in the area, rain or shine.

My fourth heritage pub of the day, this one's well preserved interior providing a fantastic array of glazed screens and a spectacular skylight above the door. The beer offering is more mundane, featuring well known national brands and a locally brewed blonde (see photo). My half of Bombardier was in good condition, however, and I spent a pleasant few minutes here (despite the background music) admiring the scenery.
