Looks like there may have been a few changes in the last few years. This is still a very pleasant two roomed local, it's also still nicely decorated, but it appears there's been a change of focus for the real ales. Still 4 handpumps, but just a solitary handpump clipped with a rather indifferent TT Landlod. It's a decent pub, but no longer the ale destination it once was. Pity.

A lovely corner boozer just outside Ramsbottom town centre. Two rooms each nice and comfortable. 4 handpumps, 2 in each bar, serving 3 beers on this visit. Worth the short walk out of the centre.

A smart well run two room local. Open all day serving good quality meals.
4 changing Real Ales always on top form.
