Give us some history about the pub:

We opened almost a year to the day, with the intention to bring something a bit different to Horwich, and where everyone is welcomed, including dogs and children. We are a small craft beer bar, with two casks and eight kegs, and three artisan ciders which we change on a weekly basis.We try to mix up the selection, with local, not so local and foreign beers and ciders and with drinks that the other pubs don’t sell. We also have craft gins, whisky, rum and vodka and a great selection of wines which also are changed on a regular basis. There is always a new cocktail of the week, tea and coffee and non-alcoholic drinks.
