About This Pub
Ah, the Rosehill Tavern – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper British local, you know? Tucked away in Westhoughton near the train station, this big red brick beauty has kept all its original Victorian touches, like the etched glass and bench seating, which really give it that warm, heritage feel. I love how they've got an excellent range of beers on tap, especially the Joseph Holt ales that come highly praised, and there are always deals like buying a few bottles to take home. The atmosphere is spot on, with friendly faces behind the bar and activities like quiz nights or watching the game with a pint in the beer garden. It's super handy if you're passing through, and being dog-friendly means it's great for a relaxed afternoon. On the flip side, there was that awkward note about the disabled facilities not being up to scratch in one review, so it might not be perfect for everyone accessibility-wise. Plus, things wind down early, and while it's budget-friendly, you won't find anything too fancy on the menu. Overall, though, it's a cracking spot for a good chat and a quality drink – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area!

Cons
-
There was a mention of an issue with the disabled toilets in one review, which might need sorting out for better accessibility.
-
Opening hours wrap up fairly early most nights, so it's not the spot for late-night sessions beyond 11pm or so.
-
While it's inexpensive, that might mean the options for food or cocktails are a bit straightforward compared to fancier places, though it's still a solid choice for a casual drink.
