Quality Holt's house that oozes history. Whilst the impression of being quite small is born out in the right hand lounge, the left side of the pub houses the much larger vault area. This was enlarged to the rear some years ago to double it in size. As it is one of the few pubs still trading in the area, it is good to note that it has considerably extended the beer range of late (although not all beers may be on all the time). The rear beer garden which was extended in late 2015, is well worth a visit on sunny days. Probably the closest cask ale outlet to Manchester City's Etihad Stadium.
