The good pub guide review
This informal and friendly community local always attracts a cheerful crowd of happy customers, despite its remote setting. Home to the Saddleworth Brewery (situated at the side of the pub), the wonderful own-brewed ales on handpump and incredible value food are the main attractions, alongside extensive views across the moors. The big, unspoilt, L-shaped main bar has a cheerful, friendly atmosphere, high beams and some stripped stone, settles, pews, a good individual mix of chairs, lots of attractive prints, Staffordshire and other china on a high delft shelf, jugs, brasses and so forth. As well as their own beers, they have guests such as Copper Dragon, Donkeystone and Timothy Taylors. Some of their own seasonal ales are named after the licensee's children, only appearing around their birthdays; two home-brewed lagers on tap too. Unobtrusive background music. The terrace has magnificent valley views. The local bellringers arrive on Wednesdays to practise with a set of handbells kept here, and anyone can join the morris dancing on Thursdays. Children enjoy the menagerie of animals, and dogs are made to feel very welcome.
