Four cask ales at the time of my visit - two by Deeply Vale, one by Abbeydale, plus Lancaster Black. The Depply Vale Optimum bitter was £1.50 for a half, so a great price. Loitering at the bar seems to be standard procedure here but there is one high level table with stools within the unit itself and further seating comprised of picnic bench type seats, which are presumably communal for all market users.
Note that One For The Road is within the main market and not the food hall section.
It was a bit chilly at the time of my visit, as indeed was the beer, but it was good to try somewhere new and the ale was decent. Looks like the beers are available in pint, half and 2/3 measures, with prices being shown on a chalk board. Some keg stuff is also available - Mahou, Beavertown and Budvar were observed.

Found through the Matthew Curtis Book but also in the GBG 2024.
9am opener in the market hall, which makes for an interesting and busy place to drink. A small bar area, but outside bench seating shared with the local eateries. Lord only knows where the loos are :-)
Local casks at a bargain £3 but I was drawn to the rarely seen Budvar Dark lager.
Friendly bar man, keen to share recommendations and advice of other places... not least his sister pub that isnt in the Curtis Guide.

A market stand serving as a decent craft/ale bar. Lots of regulars crowding around the bar and quite a jolly atmosphere, similar to the Bob Inn in Chorley. It’s not really a pub but it’s a good addition to the market. Vibrant and surprisingly multicultural with a few Asian families drinking here. I quite enjoyed the hubbub here and a decent coffee stout.
