stripped back to the extreme inside, all white and grey and sterile, dental surgery chic. Mostly laid out as a restaurant but a small bar area can be found with Wainwrights plus rotating Marstons beers. Sat outside but then a kids party bus rocked up so I just necked my pint and moved on. At least the staff were nice. I really can’t take to any of the remaining pubs in Parbold, what a crying shame the Railway had to close down.

Real Ale Ray left this review about Stocks Tavern
The interior of this pub was surprisingly modern with greys and white painted walls and timberwork, the floor was a mix of light oak laminate boards and carpet. There was a separate bar area which was smart in appearance and hosted three cask ales, Marston's 61 Deep pale ale and Pedigree, plus a Wainwright. This was predominantly a locals pub and I found this pub to be spotlessly clean and the staff were very welcoming.

This seems to be the boozer used by the Parbold locals.
To the left is a dining room with all the tables laid and there's a sign outside advertising tapas amongst other fare. I picked up a menu which had a few tapas type dishes listed but consisted mainly of standard pub grub and was sticky and filthy. The state of the menu alone would raise a question about what or whether to order.
The bar is spartan with a few bar stools and a couple of tables to one side leaving plenty of space for vertical drinking. There's a television on the back wall being watched by a number of enthusiastic Everton supporters on our visit.
As mentioned by the 2013 GBG there are 5 handpumps but only 2 beers were on: Lancaster Amber 3.7% and Pheonix Hopsack 3.8%. As mentioned by Mr Fastard, a very inexperienced barman made a total hash of pouring the Hopsack knocking any life it had out of it in the process.
A fair spot to watch the footie.
