| This pub was called The Fishermans a.k.a. �The Fish� for years. It was always popular with bikers and used to have a rock DJ and live bands. Things have changed dramatically in the last couple of years and it�s now more of a wine bar and eating place, but for some reason it�s still popular with some of the bikers. It still has music on some Fridays but it�s not rock any more. It�s one large room split into sections, with lots of leather seating and dining tables, but it�s also got some bar stools for people just wanting a beer. There are no fruit or quiz machines in the pub. There�s a decent sized patio at the front with fine views of Hollingworth Lake. This whole area was known as �The Weavers Seaport� when cotton was king as the locals used to travel here for a walk along its promenade. The public footpath goes all round the lake and is about a 2 1/4 mile walk, well worth a try. There are 3 handpumps on the bar and on Friday they were selling Black Sheep bitter, Moorhouses Pride of Pendle and Copper Dragon Best. The Copper Dragon was on fine form if a little expensive for round here at �2.60 a pint and we sat outside the front of the pub in the early evening sunshine. It�s an OK place in a great location, especially in Summer. ROBCamra - 7 Sep 2009 16:18 |
