Great nicholsons pub with six or so pumps.

Fittingly quaint for the area. Very busy on the sunny October Sunday that we visited but still wonderfully relaxing and served pretty quickly. Outside seating ample. Doom Bar and Aspalls very nice.

I thoroughly endorse the previous reviews about it being the best pub in Leigh. Seems to have got a bit more "Pubcoish" recently; They used to run a beer festival years ago which was interesting given the size of the place!

Called in for luncheon yesterday - unable to book as phone does not take incoming calls!
Good selection of real ales; settled on a pint of Adnams followed by London Pride.
Lunch was an ample sufficiency although the service was diabolical. Three bar staff who seemed to double as waiting staff did their best. Suspect the hold-up ws in the tiny kitchen. When it came it was good.
Perhaps they should operate a restricted menu on Sunday - possibly offering only a choice of Sunday Roasts?
Will visit again but probably not on a Sunday

As has been said before this is possibly the best pub in Leigh. Situated in the old town it is full of charm and feels like a real pub. It has two smallish bars and in the summer it can get packed.

Good selection of beer and friendly bar staff. Also has a reasonable selection of food.

The only thing I have problem with is that some of the window seats aren't that comfortable if you are sitting there for a longish time. Though in saying that they are probably original and part of the charm of the place!
