About This Pub
You know, when you step into Malt N Hops, it's got that lovely old-school pub feel that just draws you in – think comfy seating and a welcoming buzz that makes it easy to settle in for a chat. The real highlight is their superb selection of cask ales; they're reasonably priced, often from local breweries, and folks rave about how they pair nicely with the straightforward bar snacks like barm cakes or pies, which are affordable and surprisingly tasty. It's clear from the feedback that the place has a friendly, down-to-earth charm that's spot on for enjoying a pint without any pretence. On the other hand, the food menu doesn't go much beyond those basics, so if you're hoping for a full dinner, you might end up a bit disappointed and need to head elsewhere. Plus, without an official website, it's not the easiest to get the lowdown on things like events or exact hours, which could be a minor hassle. All in all, though, it's a solid spot for ale lovers looking for good value and a genuine atmosphere – I'd say it's well worth popping by if you're in the area.

Great pub, been a few times and a great atmosphere every time. Great beers and a good selection of barm cakes to see you on .
Lovely, old fashioned pub. Great choice of ales. Comfy and deceptively large inside.
Food is sandwiches and pies but I didn't try any.
A very welcoming place
Super choice of cask ales reasonably priced & awards. Bar snacks good value. Landlord (Andy) keeps traditional pub decor and uses local breweries. Defo worth a visit. Cheating Fox was great pint! B back soon.😋
Huge choice of cask ales to accompany some amazingly cheap yet tasty bar snacks.
A great, friendly local well worth a visit.
Excellent pub a short walk from the southbound platform of Chorley station. Great destination for real ale at a good price. The sandwiches and pies are also great value. Friendly atmosphere. Making my 4th visit in April 2024. This time with Tima and Casta rather than on way home from a football game. A super pub to return to. 9 real ales. Had a Crafty Fox bitter. Butties now £1..less than a bag of crisps in most pubs. Rear beer garden and smoking area. Another magnificent fireplace. A couple of TV's. Good taste in music. Probably the best beer selection in Chorley..which is a beer destination!
