Serving 10 cask ales and six draught ciders, the Flying Horse is open daily and is widely regarded as one of Rochdale’s premier live music venues, hosting live entertainment every weekend. The kitchen also serves traditional homemade meals, all produced using the finest locally sourced ingredients along with an additional daily specials board.

Ben said: “We were overwhelmingly voted as Rochdale, Oldham and Bury CAMRA Pub of the Year for the second time.

“The quality of the beer and how it is served is important, but we aren’t just judged on the beer, our food, décor, cleanliness, attitude, product knowledge, appearance and general demeanour is all taken into consideration.

“Winning once is good but holding onto it was always the task at hand and we did it.”

CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale, aims to promote real ales and pubs across the UK. CAMRA was founded in 1971 by a few real ale enthusiasts at a time when traditional rich-flavoured ales, were being replaced by brewers producing beers with less demanding production and storing techniques.
