Strongers . left this review about The Rose Of Lancaster
The large split-level left-hand side of the Rose of Lancaster was empty during a recent Tuesday evening visit, so I went into the right-hand public bar area where there were a few locals, some watching football via Prime on the televisions and some having a boisterous game of dominoes on banquette seating to the right. The serving counter runs up the left where it faces some high tables and at the rear is a dartboard. This is a JW Lees pub so the cask options were Bitter, MPA and Scarlet Knight. The Rochdale Canal runs along the back of the pub, so a patio with decking has been built to the left to take advantage of the waterside location. The service was polite and the dominoes clackers were generating a good atmosphere, so I enjoyed catching the end of the football. I’d like to visit here on a nice sunny afternoon to take advantage of the outside seating.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Rose Of Lancaster
Attractive canal-side JW Lees pub, with a definite focus on food by the look of things? Anyway, it has a variety of seating / dining areas on both sides of the entrance, and on two levels to the left-hand side, and a beer garden at the side nearer the water. However, it's also in the Good Beer Guide, and I found the expected Bitter and MPA on two of the five handpumps, supplemented by a pair from the more experimental The Boilerhouse brand: Don't go off Wandering and Smash2* Mosaic (£4.70). Keg beers included the brewery's Stout and Manchester Craft lager.

Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Rose Of Lancaster
Busy JW Lee's pub that features in the current Good Beer Guide. Entering from the car park, there is a bar area to the left of the entrance corridor, with dining areas at the far end of the corridor. Toilets are also just off the corridor.
I chose the main bar area, which had an area with a darts board and a TV showing coverage including the unexpected death of Shane Warne, which was a major talking point in the pub.
The young barman seemed enthusiastic. He had a choice of 4 Lee's ales to offer me. Bitter & MPA are the regular beers. The seasonal specials were Malt Crush & Dray Rumble. Having tried the Malt Crush down the road, I opted for the Dray Rumble, which was an improvement.
The bar area in here seemed to be much more of a traditional locals' pub than my previous stop (the Horton Arms). But there was still very little to recommend in this pub.
