Pubs

  • Lamb Hotel 33 Regent Street, Eccles
    M30 0BP. Tel: 0161 789 3882

This pub is supposedly the crown in the jewel of Holt's Edwardian drinking holes and is listed in CAMRA's National Inventory of Unspoilt Interiors, for its splendid mahogany glass fittings and etched glasswork. Built in 1906, this is a pretty much unspoilt Grade II-listed Holts pub, with a superb wood-panelled billiards room, complete with full size table. Other features include exquisite glazed tiles and a clutch of high ceilinged rooms

  • White Lion
    Liverpool Road, Eccles M30 0ND
    Tel: 0161 707 5184
    First licensed in 1864, this is a fine example of a street corner local - in fact the White Lion is used as an example of this genre in the beer writer Michael Jackson's book "The English Pub". It is a three room pub with the tiny vault recently having been extended by enlarging into a smaller back room. The music room has a piano which is still used for sing-a-long nights. Frequently in the Good Beer Guide.
