Quinno _ left this review about Withy Arms
Fairly basic place with little real charm apart from the bar area and the boarded exterior. An astonishing six cask ales on, all samey beers from large regionals or majors. My Adnams Ghostship told a tale of low turnover- not bad but warm and flabby (NBSS 2.5). Someone's at least trying but maybe scale back the ambition a little bit.

The Withy Arms has a fairly plain open-plan interior. At the rear is an outdoor area with numbered and heated huts, which seem quite a novel concept and one very suited to current times.
The WA (Withy Arms) Bitter is from the Ribble Brewery, whilst there were 3 guests available on my visit - Thwaite's Wainwright & Bank Top Flat Cap & Drayman's Draught.
There also appears to be a sister pub in nearby Leyland, which I didn't quite manage to get to on this visit.
Not a bad place, but it paled into insignificance following my visit to the Beer Box across the road.

Al Bundy left this review about The Withy Arms
A decent place to be honest, despite the rather trendy interior. Very foody with tables and chairs set out cafe style. The bar is to your right and the are 5 handpumps here. Titanic's Iceberg and White Star, Wainwright, Blazing Fury, Ribble Brewery Odd Job and their own WA beer. Plenty of shiny chrome fonts for lagar-a-like beers too. Worth a visit.
