Pubs in Chorley

Sir Henry Tate

New Market Street, Chorley PR7 1DB

A purpose built pub trading under the Lloyd's banner situated next to Booth's supermarket on the main town centre car park. Typical of the Wetherspoon's chain, this pub offers value food and low beer prices. The pub is on two levels and has an outside drinking area to the front. The main bar (downstairs) features the five regular beers plus five guests, with beers from Moorhouse's and Phoenix often featuring. The two changing real ciders are served from boxes behind the bar.

The other bar through the right hand door is only used for functions and private parties. The main bar has a low ceiling with exposed timber beams and an open fire. Comfortable seating around the fire makes for a very cosy and relaxing place to sit and enjoy the single real ale on offer. This room has lots of nooks and crannies and ample seating with books and games available to keep yourself and others entertained. The formal but relaxed dining room leads off to the rear of the building, but be sure to be careful of the low beam over the open entrance to this room. The long dining room with table service can seat 20 diners and there is also another room adjacent providing additional seating. Fresh produce is used for a good selection of meals with specials every Friday evening. The Duck is very much part of the local community, and booking is advisable especially for Sunday lunch.
