One of the few hotels in Wigan with a bowling green. Walker Bros (Wigan) Ltd. played in The Wigan Workshops League here in the fifties and was referred to affectionally as `The Ploughed Field`!

Not anymore, the venue is under new management from Dec 2012 and is now a well run, clean and tidy establishment. Has live music every weekend and a warm welcome to all.
