I can remember this place from the 1970s when it was called the Borough Club, so it would have been a club for council employees. The steward used to call in at the betting shop where I worked on the opposite side of Dalton Square, with his bets and those of several of the club members too. I only went in once or twice, and it wasn't anything like as smart as the present pub, which is modelled on an idea of a gentlemen's club rather than a council employees'. The bar is to the rear and placed sideways, with two groups of four hand pumps, and eight beers allegedly on, though my half of Horner Brothers Pavilion Pale was in fact off, as I discovered when I started to drink. It was replaced promptly, but this was the only real ale from the house brewery on the bar at the time of my visit, though two or three keg versions were available, so I had the Kirkby Lonsdale Stanleys, which was in good condition. (See photos for other beers.) I'm not sure this pub has the through-put to sustain eight real ales, and if they don't even taste or check the beers on pulling through first thing...

does absolutely nothing for me. majestic building and location... but ultimately it's a stately home selling overpriced food and beer to posers. there are enough good pubs in Lancaster to avoid this place...
