Old Boots left this review about The Bob Inn
A bar in the market but accessible from inside and outside (by hatch) the market building, five pulls, two with cider. Another five are on a separate bit of counter inside the market but that may or may not be in use. There’s also a pagoda like building on the end of that second counter. The main "bar" has some very limited seating but there’s more in the street outside and inside the market building. It does shut when the market building shuts.

The Bob Inn occupies a market stall in the main market area of Chorley. With Tuesday being the main market day for the town, it was doing a roaring trade, despite its main size.
The unit itself is tiny, but it is possible for 3 or 4 people to stand around the bar. Others can stand in the passageway in the market itself. Seating areas are available in the street outside and in a small indoor area diagonally opposite within the market.
3 real ales are available. On our visit, these were Three B's Bobbins, Bingley Norr Drift & Wigan Brewhouse Old Boston. I opted for the last one of these 3, which was a plum porter. In addition, they also have a real cider, which was Lilley's Rhubarb Cider. Another CAMRA discount was given for a half.
One of 3 micropubs in the town, this one is well worth a visit.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Bob Inn
Stall on the periphery of the covered market, with service from a compact counter on the indoor side. There is also a screened seating area opposite plus a small area of covered benches outside shared with other traders (which can also be served directly from a glass-fronted hatch). Three real ales and a couple of ciders available from the five handpumps, and my pint of Motown from Wigan Brewhouse was in excellent shape and fine value at £2.70. My visit was shortly before the coronavirus restrictions changed (yet again) so it was still possible to stand and talk to the friendly landlord and customers, and I thought this was an excellent example of its type of micro-pub.
