This true free house is nearly a mile from the station but a good deal higher, or a quarter hour easy walk north from the centre of Top Mossley where the main bus services can be found.
The regular beers are augmented by an ever-changing selection of guest ales plus two hand pulled ciders. The pub commenced brewing its own beer in February 2016 using a 2½ barrel plant which can be viewed from within
The pub is open plan with splendid views over the Tame valley to the Pennines beyond. Large televisions abound for major football matches and with some nights bands playing, a boisterous atmosphere can be assured.
