Reopened Christmas 2012 after having a full refurbishment and revealing its traditional decor. A superb example of an early 1900's Commercial Hotel. 5 handpumps offering real ale plus 2 more offering real cider (usually Black Dragon from Gwynnt Y Ddraig and a Guest) Tetley Cask Bitter is always available, along with one other "bitter", two blonde beers and a dark beer. Really cosy in winter with proper coal fires and two unobtrusive televisions. Many of the original features are retained including panelling, windows. Voted a Wigan Pub of the Season in 2013. Serves good home made pub grub. Customer loyalty card scheme in operation. Cask Critics Day offers a discount on real ales every Wednesday
