| One of those places you either love or hate. As previous people have commented this pub can suffer from it's popularity. Can get full to bursting often - particularly if the sun is out etc. Have actually started visiting more often recently because the ales are bang on form. Usually 8-10 ales on - Thwaites Wainwright, Moorhouses PendleWitch, Black Sheep are the usual Regular beers with guests from far and wide also appearing. Decent pub grub is on offer.The Mussels washed down with a few pints are recommended. Usually "special" events take place monthly - Oyster Festival In September, A Hallowen Octobier Fest etc. Opens late most nights I think - was in the other Sunday night and time passed us by. At 2315 thinking we had missed last orders,were told they were open until at least 0100!!! bloomfieldjpm - 20 Jul 2010 05:24 |
| This place can suffer from its own popularity. But, it's a good place for a feed and there are several real ales available. Nice location. You're not made to feel bad if the kids are being noisy. Good value. Don't bother with Guy's round the corner. It was busy when we took our family there and it was rubbish. Terry_W - 29 Aug 2006 22:55 |
| this is one of my favourite pubs and if I lived nearer (come from Bolton) I'd be in there every night. The selection of real ales is awesome and the guy behind the bar knows about them and can discuss them with you. When I've eaten in there, the food has been good too. The atmosphere is excellent, even when very busy. What more can you say - an excellent place to be. beerface - 27 Feb 2006 10:30 |

| I have been to Owd Nell's numerous times during the day and also in the evening with my friends who live in Bilsborrow and also my children who love the place. The beer selection is excellent, as is the food and atmosphere. You are always made to feel welcome and no matter how crowded it is, the atmosphere is always friendly. The waitresses and bar staff work exceedingly hard to make sure everyone gets what they ordered and in very good time and spirits. I can't wait to go back on Saturday night!
