The Tap End finally opened after Covid-19 delays in the former Robby’s Cards and Gifts shop-unit on Blackpool Road just a couple of doors down from the Lane Ends pub. It is has capacity for around 50 people and provides a fairly low-key atmosphere conducive to conversation. Dark wood and metal with subdued lighting add to this and air-conditioning should control the temperature. There are currently three handpumps dispensing 3 cask ales with plans to add another for cask when restrictions end and custom increases. The aim is to try and have a variety of styles on offer. There are also eight craft keg lines - 4 beer, 3 lager and 1 cider, some of which are from key keg containers. There are also various beers in bottles and cans available. Changes to all beers are immediately uploaded to the Untapped app.
