Opened in 2013 in a former shop premises this was the area's first micropub and is located at the entrance to the former Leyland Motors North Works, which now serves as the town's market hall (the market has been temporarily relocated in 2026 during an extensive refurbishment). Six changing real ales come from local and national breweries. Changing ciders, wine and a few spirits are also served. This is a traditional relatively quiet larger micropub for most of the week, but there is live music or DJ sets in the evening on Friday, Saturday and Sunday when the pub is much livelier. There are also occasional Open Mic nights or Soul Sessions on other evenings so it is worth checking the pub’s social media in advance if you are looking for a quiet pint. There is an outside drinking area with plenty of seating to the front of the premises and there is a pool table in a room upstairs. The pub has a team in a local pool league.
