It was a beautiful sunny day and the pub looked inviting, so we promised ourselves we would stop there for lunch the next time we crossed the Pennines. It turned out to be a great decision! We started off by ordering drinks, I chose a pint of Lee's Summer Ale which was a bit sharp for my taste. I mentioned this to the lady serving us and she kindly offered to replace it with a bitter at no extra cost, which was much more to my liking. The menu offered a good variety of options and we decided on the fish sharing platter. The portion was generous, with freshly fried cod goujons that had a deliciously light batter. The homemade tartare sauce and warm bread complemented the dish perfectly. Overall, it was a satisfying and enjoyable meal. If you ever find yourself passing through the Pennines, I highly recommend making a detour to this pub off the M62 and treating yourself to a meal here.
