Taken over by local brewer Joseph Holt in early 2017 who gave the pub a sympathetic refurbishment. Large open plan pub which wraps around the bar. Timber clad beams give a traditional feel coupled with stripped brick walls decorated with historic photos and memorabilia referencing nearby Manchester United football club and Old Trafford cricket ground. Large TV screens dominate at either end of main space show that sport is a big part of this pub. Multiple hand pumps, not all in use, many keg lines also available. Very busy on match days for both Manchester United and also cricket matches at Lancashire's Old Trafford ground. Unusually for a pub there is a toy grab machine indoors.
