The pub overlooks a main road swingbridge crossing the River Weaver,although coastal shipping rarely comes this far inland so you are unlikely to see any swinging,if that is the correct term !Its a large Robinsons pub that has been extended to one side with a vaulted ceiling barn tacked on.The front door opens onto a quiet lounge to the left,a tap room with high tables opposite.There is a mix of seating,including Chesterfields in the small barn area and a restaurant at the rear.
It has the feel of a chain pub and the tables had been well used and were a bit sticky .Although there were a lot of people milling behind the bar ,service was slow although on a fine day the beer garden overlooking the river was busy and food ordering was taking it's toll on bar efficiency.There are three handpumps for ale,serving Citra Pale,Unicorn and Trooper with a fourth for Old Rosie Cider.The food seemed standard pub grub and is generally served until 8.30pm.
The ale selection was mundane and I wouldn't base myself for a heavy session.However with live music on Thursdays this is not just another foody pub and the location is decent.
