There are some dishes that deserve their own post. This is definitely one of them….

Black-pudding Stuffed Belly of Lamb with Redcurrant Jus

A beautifully slow-cooked classic, served alongside buttered minted new potatoes, fresh Savoy cabbage and a silky redcurrant jus.

Every. Element. Made. To. Savour!

Our little old pub up the cobbles got visited by some local legends yesterday and we are exceptionally proud!

Thank you to everyone who supports us to achieve everything that we are achieving.

The atmosphere yesterday was electric (Nic was a bit giddy)

Watch this space for more bits with Rochdale AFC coming soon!

We were going to write a big post to go with this picture but to be honest, a nice looking coffee & our new sandwich menu.

'Nuff said.

Payday is finally here… and if this week’s sunshine has taught us anything, it’s that we’ve all been desperate for a spot in a beer garden!
We’ll save you a seat. 😘

When it's 30° outside, it's 45° in our kitchen so we're digging out the big fans & running a reduced menu for the next couple of days.

About ⅔ of the menu is still available, just a few oven heavy bits coming off. If you really want a cheese pie, just pop in when it's cooler 🥵

⭐️⭐️⭐️Rochdale Appreciation Post⭐️⭐️⭐️

For its flaws, it’s beautiful. It’s a place full or warmth and growth and the odd ‘y’alright luv?’

The people, the history, the community, the independent businesses, the green spaces, the stories, there really is so much to be proud of.

Our friends over at Roam Rochdale⁠ do a wonderful job of shining a light on all of it, celebrating the sparkle, character and joy that make this town what it is. HOME
