Was in the area for Bolton v AFC Wimbledon and a friend from Preston told me that it was best to drink in Chorley before the game rather than head to the stadium. Arrived at noon, and made my way to the main street to work my way back to the train station. After drinking in the White Bull and the Cookoo's Nest, both ok pubs, but not really my thing, and then the Bob Inn located in Chorley Market which raised the bar, and then the Shephards Ale house (which again raised the bar) before making my way to meet freinds in the final pub that came up in my research, which was the Malt N Hops. Like the previous 3 pubs in Chorley I visited, did not fail to deliver on the good craft beer/real ale scene that I had been told Chorley has. Basically a ruff around the edges traditional pub (a kind of run down feel to it, given the way it sits all by itself across the road from the train station) but all add's to the charm. Excellent real ale selection, and when my friend who I was meeting before heading to the match showed up, he thought it was brilliant and raved about it for the rest of the day! If heading to a Bolton Wanderer's match from Preston/west coast mainline, then make sure to drink in here before hand rather than heading through to Bolton.
My wife and I were visiting Chorley for the first time and went to Malt N Hops with a couple of friends. This is a real gem of a pub. Quite olde worlde but spotlessly clean. The bar staff know their game and were extremely efficient and friendly. Very good prices and a great range of beers in a lovely old boozer. BTW, it's just a couple of minutes walk from Chorley railway station. We hope to return in the not too distant future. Cheers!
Very handy for the Soiuthbound platform (side entrance). I stopped off for an hour on my journey South back to Bolton. The pub offers a dozen or so good cask ales on my visit there were many favourites including two from the nearby Blackedge Brewery and Goose Eye Chinook from near Keighley. Amazing value sandwiches and pies are on offer most of the time.
Must have visited six/seven times recently while working nearby terrific selection of cask beer, all local great condition, great prices and amazing value sandwiches too friendly knowledgeable staff and similarly decent fellow customers
