Malthouse Farm

The delightful country pub boasts wooden beams, open fires, and flagstone floors, creating a wonderfully inviting ambiance. It is set in a tranquil location surrounded by mature trees and greenery, adjacent to the picturesque Leeds Liverpool canal. On a sunny day, it becomes the ideal spot to relax with a refreshing drink.

Malthouse Farm, a significant part of the village community in the 1800s, played a crucial role in supplying malt to landlords and estate owners for brewing beer. This ensured that there was ample ale available, often considered safer than water in many instances. The farm also offered valuable employment opportunities for farmhands who worked the land in the summer and required work during the winter months, the perfect time for malt production.

The pub and its adjoining buildings are designed as long, thin structures due to the extensive ground surface needed for malt spreading during development. The menu features a variety of traditional pub favourites, all freshly prepared, including a regularly changing specials board and a delectable Sunday roast with all the trimmings. The bar offers an impressive selection of real ales, quality wines, spirits, and soft drinks, catering to every taste.

Additionally, this charming venue is dog-friendly, welcoming furry companions to enjoy the serene surroundings alongside their owners.
