    I couldn't get enough of this place. The epitome of an (extremely) old pub at the heart of a…read morecommunity where everyone seemed to know everyone else. And the beers are darn good too. This whitewashed inn accessed over an old packhorse bridge claims to 'probably' be Yorkshire's oldest (1307). Got to love them covering themselves for inaccuracy there. That's over seven centuries of beery goodness which was open for trade 40 years before the Black Death! A gem of a building with wooden beams throughout - the layout inside is stepped as it's built on a decline so disabled access is obviously limited (you may wish to phone in advance if you or your family member has any mobility concerns). There's plenty of seating throughout, however, with some set back in nooks in the walls. As well as serving real ale from independent brewers, they stock genuine imported lagers from around the world. Their fridge of bottled beers looked quite comprehensive. They also have guest beers which change regularly - when I visited they had Jaipur from Thornbridge on (one of my all time favourites). They serve food but we didn't eat here on this occasion. I can guarantee I will be a punter here again when I'm over next time.

    A unique and delightful "bar," basically the last standing vestige of the Temperance movement in…read morenorthern England. As it's on church ground, it still doesn't serve alcohol although you can buy cordials to take away that would probably make great cocktails. We had a particularly charming young server who helped us try samples of the various cordials - they are all very sweet but lovely distinct flavours. We all opted for a full size helping of the hot lemon and ginger, my dad even snatched some extra of mine, he was enjoying it so much! My bf added gingseng to his (this combo wasn't on the menu but the server immediately suggested she could add it after he mentioned he was torn between the two). I tried the blood tonic milkshake after discovering the foul-sounding concoction actually involves hibiscus, rosehip and nettles. Any health benefits were of course ruled out by the ice cream, cream and (giant) flake topping, but it was yummy. Bf got an ice cream sundae, the "small" version being the side of his head (the large is normally recommended for sharing). My dad pounced on some lemon cake which he loved. If you don't have a sweet tooth there are a few savoury options, including a good selection of teas. But it really is a sweet flavour-oriented place - one of my fave features was that you can get a jam sandwich. The price point is really reasonable, sub £3 for the milkshakes which is excellent value, particularly considering you are in such a pretty environment. All in all a delightful interlude off the East Lancs Steam Railway!

    This place really is magical! Not the sort of bar you would find unless you were looking for it…read morespecifically. The day we visited, there were two huge bikes outside and a couple of real bikers - beards, leathers, grease and oil - sitting inside drinking sarsasparilla and blood tonics. I'd recommend any of the cordials - we bought a few to take home and have used them as hot drinks, with soda water and as icecream floats - delicious! The shop itself doesn't look to have changed since it was first set up. Fantastic wooden pew-type benches, ancient soda syphons, antique counter and display material - everything is just so wonderful. Having said all that, one gets very quickly bored and we left to find a pub! (At that time there wasn't one in Rawtenstall that served real ale!)

Lovely warm environment, friendly service, welcoming fireplaces, and marvelous food. If I could give this place ten stars I would. Did I mention the delicious food? I'm so full!

It was originally built way back in 1796, so expect low wooden beams, lots of exposed brick and cosy fireplaces in every dining space. The bar is well stocked and as well as three regular beers they have guests from the likes of Phoenix (a brewery based in nearby Heywood). Lots of choice on the food menu, with everything from soup of the day right through to steaks and roasts. Have a look on their specials board for the pie of the day - we had steak and pepper which was not only delicious, but was practically the size of a saucer and coupled with chunky chips, veg and gravy left us unable to talk, let alone get up out of our seats afterwards. Service was friendly throughout and despite us turning up without a reservation (it might be an idea to book a table on weekends) we were seated and served without too much of a wait for our orders. A tip for winter - the pub lacks a porch door, so if you're sitting in this section expect the occasional draught when the door opens. We were well hard and braved it ;) When the weather is more pleasant they have a decent-sized beer garden at the back. If their small car park is full there are plenty of spaces in the layby directly across the road.
