Visited again back in June on a Friday afternoon. 11 of the 12 hand pumps were in active service at the time of my visit; the venue is also Untappd Verified and the menu was up to date. I had a very pleasant Neapolitan themed stout from Wakey Wakey, a brewery I've not encountered previously but are apparently based in Rochdale, so always good to support local. £2.05 for a half! Absolutely can't grumble at the prices and sheer choice available.
Food is served including a breakfast menu. Live music advertised. Dog friendly.
My favourite place in Rochdale, and one I look forward to returning to.

Called in around 2pm yesterday and as mentioned in the previous review there was 12 clipped cask beer pumps all functioning plus 5 cider taps and 5 craft ale taps at the rear of the bar plus a modest amount of keg beer pumps. Will certainly call in again if in the area.

Visited November 2025. 12 hand pulls and all were clipped, leaving me feeling like a kid in a sweet shop so I settled on two halves of different ales for the grand sum of £3.90 or thereabouts. The young barmaid did start to pull the wrong ale, but this was rectified without fuss.
A few in at just after 2pm on a Wednesday but it was not rammed. Food is served and there were a couple of other tables dining.
Special mention for the cleanest smelling pub toilets I think I've ever encountered!
I will be back!
