I loved it here. The historic scenery but when the steam engines came in I was loving it. Really enjoyed my drinks there. Will go back on my next trip.

27/05/23: Wartime 1940's weekend. It's a busy one! Lots of nostalgia and of course great beer! 14/11/22: Another visit, another pint. We had the First Chop Brewery: Jam mango pale, 4%, Ossett Brewery: Treacle Stout, 7% and a Gammon & Cheese Sandwich [photo update] 27/10/22: review & photo update. Had a lovely lunch today. 2 courses for £9.95. I had the black pudding stack, crispy bacon and peppercorn sauce on a muffin and homemade cheese & onion pie with homecooked chips and beans! She had the chicken liver pate, red onion chutney, leaves & toast, and also went for the homemade cheese & onion pie. For drinks we had Bowland Brewery: Retriever, 3.8% and Fuggle Bunny Brewery: 24 Carrot IPA, 6%. Archie slept through most of it, but enjoyed a bowl of United Utilities: H2O, 0% August 2022: photo update, following another lovely visit. Always a great choice of keg, cask and bottle, plus ciders. Food was excellent too and even Archie had a personal visit from the Chef, with a handful of best sausage. We had a Sausage Sandwich; pork sausage served in a ciabatta, with caramelised onion gravy and tomato chutney and Lancashire Cheese & Ham Sandwich; tasty Lancashire cheese, roast ham and tomato chutney on white bread, served with dressed leaves. Also had Proper Chips each! The Trackside Bar, situated on Platform 2, Bury Bolton Street Station. Renovated, freshened up, new & improved. As if things couldn't get any better. Fantastic selection of Cask & Keg Ales, Ciders, Perries, Stouts & of course Pub Grub. Stunning setting on the old platform of the East Lancashire Railway. A bar, and so much more! Nostalgia, history, events and also quite simply, a meeting place for friends! CAMRA pub of the year 2022.
