A true Lancashire working mens club. Housed in a 400 year old building A warm friendly greeting from members young and old. A frosty greeting from a grumpy but«popularish steward» I am told. He was nearly funny a couple of times. Big fans of cask ale here and they currently sell Timmy Taylors best bitter which I could have got«bathed» in and also Moorhouses Broomstick Bitter which is brewed down the road in Burnley. The club has recently won awards from East Lancashire CAMRA. Good cheap drinks here and all they ask is that you sign in at the door. They do not have a doorperson but ask for visitors integrity and honesty with a 50p «ten bob» entry fee. Non members are made very welcome and even by «The Bar Steward» at times I hear. One member I spoke to was very proud of the club and was rightly boastful about how well it was doing in the current climate of Pubs & Clubs closing down all the time. They have Snooker Pool and Darts on the go with several teams representing the club in local leagues. A nice lounge leads through to the games areas and there is a great beer garden/patio area at the front and another large outdoor area to the side of the Club. With over 300 members this is a good busy Club and well worth a visit if you are in the area.
