The Trackside combines some excellent ales with the nostalgia of the East Lancs Railway. At the bar, 11 handpumps are permanently in use, with one- house beer from Northern Whisper (E L R Pale) and 10 serving varying guest ales. Various craft keg beers are dispensed via taps on the back of the bar with foreign bottle beers also on offer. It is a former CAMRA Branch Cider Pub of the Year with up to 5 real ciders and these are dispensed via gravity from the cellar. The Broadoak Perry on sale on hand pump is no longer considered to be a real perry. For those wanting a close- up railway experience the station platform just outside has seating under a roof canopy creating a sun trap with wall heaters for cooler weather.
